Thanks, I'm going to try this when I have time to play again. Sounds like a glitch in the AI.

I'm just playing for the second time and I finally seem to have success. At 20 turns till the end I have the king on his knees: he only has about 20 units left, according to the Revolution screen. And then: he just keeps bombarding my cities, but never puts a single unit ashore. He just...

Remember a game like Risk. You have to spread your forces over an enormous area.

This sounds like a great idea. Especially in combination with the new "Vassal State" option in Warlords. When you encounter a 'minor civ', they will easiy be subdued to be a vassal. In this way, you can create a world with a couple of mayor civs and inbetween them a lot of vassal buffer states...

Has anybody an idea how the great wall works? Can I put it whereever I want, or does to form on your border when you build the wonder?

The file is in My Documents\My Games For me, this did not help at all, unfortunately.

I agree to that. And I agree with TS that it is kindof inconsistent that the AI becomes angry when asking stuff you don't want to trade, while it can block you from questioning the same. From an AI perspective, the games looses a possible component. The AI does not now if it refuses you a...

Whow, what is that Vasal state option. I've been waiting for such an option since civ I!!! :)

Sure, sign me up :) Sounds like a great game!!!

This sounds like a great idea, but it seems to me that this is already in place with Great Scientists, who can uncover an technology (or part of it) at random.

I encounteerd the same problem (in April 1777 as well :)). If you load the save game again, for me it solved the problem.

Actually, is there a way to force opponents to vote for you? Like: "vote for me or meet my nukes..."

Oh, I agree on that, and will play my next games on higher levels. :) I just think that having a 2/3 majority on your own in the UN is a Victory Condition for a Domination Victory

I just finished my first civ IV game (on lowest level) and finished it with a diplomatic victory, with just 2 turns left. On the one hand, it is great to win, of course, but I won this game by having 380 out of 564 votes in my own hand. All the other civs voted for the runner-up or abstained...

Just thought to say hi before making my first real post. I started to play the original Civ way back in 1995 and never stopped doing so. I have been hanging around on CifFanatics for a long time, but never got to posting on the forum before. So here we go:)
