How do you set the number of turns when making a scenario? Quite often, a game will end much sooner than I want it to, not even getting to the 1900s. I like to make huge maps and play on the marathon setting. For example, in the attached screenshot, it now says 99 turns left, but I am only in...

Is there any bonus to founding cities on rivers, other than not needing an aqueduct? Guess my thinking is from Civ 4, when I wanted to have as many levees as possible.

No sentry, no early roads, no railroads, can't rename cities; builders used up quickly. Civ is going downhill; 2-4 were awesome, 5 was a major step backwards.

Even Civ II had Vanilla, and Test Of Time.

I think I'm married to a female combatant! :p In Civ 3, I had the female warrior as an even more basic unit than the (male) warrior. The female warrior had an attack of 0, but could defend at strength of 1. So while the men were out pillaging, the females could at least defend the city. With...

When a wonder splash pops up, you don't have to wait until near the end, to find out the benefits of building that wonder. If you click on the bar next to the title of the wonder, and drag towards the middle of the splash, the cultural information and other benefits pop up. The wonder splash...

I am running Civ IV fine on Windows 8, on my new laptop. With 1 exception: whenever I scroll around the screen, the game sometimes minimizes, and the Windows 8 start screen comes up. I can quickly return to the game, but this is very annoying! Does anyone know how to prevent Windows 8 from doing...

When? When a rival civ has built a city near a resource you want/need. Culture bomb that city to capture it without going to war. :D

Okay, I read through 4 pages and didn't see anybody mention this: building the Apostolic Palace has the advantage of 1) not having a whole bunch of Civs declaring war on you at once, and b) You being able to vote a bloc on nations to go to war against the infidel of your choosing!

Civ IV is very good (not as good as II or III IMO), I've yet to really get into V. The only "rant" I would have about IV is that railroads should still have unlimited movement. Real life example: What Stalin was able to do with his Siberian army, transfering it in a matter of weeks by rail to...

When I make my own Civ IV maps, I usually place those resources in hills. Making maps gives you control over some of these things.

Why not just make your own maps?
