I just wondering...Is any mod of Civ4 which emulates Civ1? I mean - has somebody tried to make Civ1 looking like Civ4 (or at least Civ2 or Civ3)?

I was around 10 years, when I played in guest in 1994 or so. I played with Russians on Earth, Chieftain difficulty. Played may be until 2-3 AM, but win. :) A few years later I got it on my PC. With a lot of difficulties won the Prince game. Then tried Emperor...Of course they came with ranks...

I did one big mistake, so want to correct it...Actually, if AI has Friendly personality (Amer, Egy, Indi) then you cannot say them to go *uck themselves while talking. They can declare war! I think their mechanics are just more soft compare to Agressive and Normal civilazation. Probably, the...

About Wonders. Copernicus is absolutely necessary (speeds up you and slow down ai), Newton is nearly neseccsry too. I would say thay UN in half of cases increases chances greatly. Other wonders are good, but not really important. With no Colossus and ocean, but with gems and gold it is around...

Thanks for sharing! It is also interesting to know when did you launch, when got railroad, Republic, etc. I found that playing with Colossus is around the same as with gold mine. Knowing map I was able to reach Alpha before 1800 AD, though it is kind of test game. Still not sure what is the best...

I tried several times Emperor OCC. Not a blind game, the same starting save, etc. Must say that UN before 1000AD should give a good chance for win. It is doable with nearby jems and gold, and with some neighbour. Still think that it is a good investment (otherwise you give a lot of money to...

Thank you for answers:) In general my impression is that Civ1 very unpredictable comparing to other Civs. Manual is just a formal thing and doesnt describe important things. So, most of them should be tested or extracted from code :)

Also they do not enter your territory (working tiles) then cannot sneak attack. In this case UN can be considered as an insurance against random meeting etc.

I dont remember any sneak attack when peace is agreed...Could it depend on embassy? Though may be sneak attack depends on number of enemies in war with. So, here another option comes - can UN help to "make alliances"? I mean you agree with Mongols attack Greeks. Then sign peace with Greeks. Then...

I see, thank you! Very strange for AI actually. Also I saw that it got cavalry for free. Probably after discovering horseback riding and building militia, one cavalry goes free. Otherwise, I have no idea how to explain. In genera, I have understood that no need to understand AI...:) I watched a...

Thanks for your answer and for the thoughts. Yeah, Egypt looks really tough with a good land (esp gold, rivers, etc.). How do you like tanks before 1AD? I noted also other things, in the end, when AI feels too strong and starts talking with you (it looks like from time to time peace treaty...

Totally agree with too many building. If you want fast first attack then courthouses and markets are kind of useless. Forges and barracks (and granaries) are usually enough in most cities. If you watch Lain or Henrik you would note the same in most cases (just research or wealth after these...

Just curious, what best performing AI did you see on Emperor? E.g., just to do nothing and sit with one city. In my last game Egypt decided to go for supergrow. They they had a bunch of 10+ cities meanwhile others had cities of size 5-7. Also they discovered a new tech every 2-3 turns. Thus, RR...

But why it saves from demands? I mean - giving resourse for demand will add plus to diplo faster (though you cannot choose who will ask). Or does it reduce the chance of other demand? As I understand, it is only can be used for slow controllabe growing of diplo with chosen AI. Is it correct?:)...

Ocre, It is nice to see you thread. I am not a deity player, but won (militarily) several immortal games in different version. And won a lot deity games,on youtube :)) Yes, hello Lain, Zero, and Henrick. I can see that you position is rather tough (isolation, plus rival situation) for the "first...
