Does anyone know if the AI receives the "events and decisions" that the player does, or does only the player receive them?

Is there a way to increase the amount of AI opponents in multiplayer? The only way to increase them seems to be by changing the map size to something bigger.

There's actually an even easier way than what the OP said. You can win on turn 1: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=785037280 "Set up a game, pick Rome, due to the fact they have a free monument, set it to custom turn limit, turn it to 1, set difficulty to deity or...

So what would be the best approach to destroying his ship then? A human opponent won't dare launch knowing if they lose their capital, they lose the victory. Should I just camp outside their capital city with a huge stack of units and swarm in once the launch begins. Attacking before the...

Yea but he quoted GameSpy on that. So then GameSpy has it wrong then? Not to delusionally vouche for Gamespy, but I find that hard to believe. Did a patch change this aspect of the Space Race victory, making the GameSpy statement obsolete? Furthermore, how does capturing a city NOT destroy...

Sweet, yup, the Installshield folder was the problem. Thanks, I appreciate it :D.

I'm currently reinstalling Civ IV vanilla and BtS due to the infamous Python warning message. Before I uninstalled either though, I patched BtS to the latest release version. That didn't work, so I proceeded with the uninstall then reinstall. Civ IV vanilla reinstalled fine. Then I get to...

The vassal annoyance has happened every game to me. You guys probably already know about it. EVERY time I stomp the AI, they ALWAYS vassal before dying. Sometimes they'll vassal with as many as eight cities! No not to me, no not to the civs I have bad relations with, ALWAYS to the civ I...

I made a post about this in an unrelated thread of mine, but I felt it'd be better answered in a thread. Anyways, what is it exactly? According to Civ IV's civilopedia, it reads: Keywords: attack, limit, withdraw. I thought it allowed your catapults to do a maximum amount of damage and...

Maybe someone should rerelease one of the Hitler mods and name it "Hitler - BTS compatible," or something, with the permission of the original mod author. Of course it would have been a lot easier had Firaxis just added Hitler as an official leader, but that's another argument altogether :crazyeye:

Hey you're right, catapults still die attacking! Then what's up with the new "maximum damage" concept Firaxis is talking about in the in-game concept section? I know it has to serve some purpose because the "flanking" concept was created to combat it.

Alright, well when I first made the post, I'll admit I hadn't given the expansion enough of a chance (I just got it two days ago). I found out catapults have some kind of "maximum damage" thing where they're guaranteed a withdrawal when sieging, meaning you don't have to risk losing any...

For those who already read (and somehow remember) an earlier topic of mine, you'll know I'm a staunch opponent of the protective trait. In short, it sucks and I think Firaxis should tone it down or get rid of it altogether. Outnumbered archers killing prateorians is a joke and the trait does...

Well those 8 strength praetorians are still looking mighty attractive ;). When properly beefed up, they can take out even musketmen, so I'd have to go with Augustus or Julius, even though they aren't on the list :crazyeye:.

Here's a question though: Do colonies start with "cautious" relations with rival nations or do they share your relations you have? For example, I want to nuke my ENEMIES. How will my colonies take to this? It's worth noting I've seen "cautious" relation civs get a relation deduction of "You...
