The guy named Solver over at Apolyton has written a review. I recomend you ALL read it make sure of your facts about the trade blockades with ships. He worked on the team for this Expansion and has over 80 games played so he probably knows quite a bit about this stuff. here's a direct link...

Maybe not... Remember what happened with the original Civ 4 Vanilla when it first came out? All the people came here looking for methods to cure the major bug crashes and such for about 2 months while Firaxis came out with a patch. I had been shipped the french tech tree with my american...

Ouch! Looks like your getting the big end of the stick. but... All might not be lost. take a look at this thread from Apolyton below. http://civilization4.net/3/263/479/ Solver who wrote it has stuff to say that are important, and I have played the game with the same problem coming...

I notice the dates on some of the S&T info is from around 7/2006! Is it correct to assume that this information is timeless? or Would something more up-to-date be in order to learn to play with others tips? I am at present playing the Warlords exp. on Noble or lower levels (I just don't last...

Personally, its all about the strategies and playstyles in the book. Yes, the info like cost of a wonder and such would change but the cost of a building/unit/wonder would not change the effectiveness of the strategies involved. IMHO:D

HP/Cheap Plus the added fact that most of the opinions in threads here are written for certain levels of play such as Prince or higher and I do not play at those levels so they are completely worthless to me, but the books are always written with the novice or just above that level in mind. D

I like to read elsewhere besides in front of the computer and printing out that many articles is tedious and costly. ( alot more than a guide) To each their own.

Does anyone have any inside info on a "Official" strategy guide after BTS comes out?

These different methods work great for their prospective civs, but I have played on Monarch with continents and everything else standard not picking the other civs at all. I pushed the envelope and became completely non aggressive for the whole game never once firing a shot as it were. I was...

So DigitalBoy What level/map size was that last game at, and did you use the slider much? Were your cities pretty even in culture? The way you wrote the last note here it sounds like you did not start building the temples and cathedrals in your previous attempt, at what year did you start to...

Tanks for the replies guys! I see the Excel chart works kinda like what I wanted, so I guess I'll just have to trudge along with the rest of the loosers...He He... Maybe someday a company will create Multi-use charts for most of the games out there and sell them...hint...hint. Happy...

I am looking for a chart which allows me to print out sections of the game, but can't seem to find one that's been created already. I'm not a creator of such things so please don't suggest that. I would like it to allow me to show all data for say the civs individual or grouped, show the promos...
