    (CONFIRMED) Does this savegame crash @your pc?

    I've got a similar problem in this save. Game crashes to desktop once you end the current turn. EDIT: After a bit of testing, the crash can be prevented by gifting Military Tradition to Tokugawa.

    ICBM ?'s

    I've had the same problem, a mined (unworked, as it was outside any city's cross) uranium not showing up anywhere. Figured the problem was it wasn't being worked so I placed a city specifically to work it. Same problem, still not showing up. Didn't think to much more about it as I won by...

    GOTM 07 Pre-Game Discussion

    You're probably right. I tend to get a little fixated on working every resource i can. I tending more and more towards settling in place, both on the probability of unknown resources and a shot at an early religion. According to Wikipedia the likely candidate for the first large scale wine...

    GOTM 07 Pre-Game Discussion

    You were playing a marathon game right? They increased the length of anarchy for chaning civics slightly, doesn't show up so much on slower speeds (as it rounded up to 1 turn anyway), but has a noticable effect on higher speeds. It also means that changing multiple civics at once often results...

    GOTM 07 Pre-Game Discussion

    Trying my hand at a bit of map gazing. The three tiles to the east (NE,E,SE) of the wine all appear to be ocean/lake. This worries me with regard to settling in place, as it may be impossible to get a city in to work the wine without significant overlap with the capital. If it's a narrow lake...

    Is this an Exploit?

    I don't see this as even remotely game breaking. Yes, you've managed to keep growing while producing a settler, but the trade off is a consideradle delay in the production of that settler. Consider the following situation; your early scout units are out doing their thing, you've just produced...

    How many people will play CIV-GOTM01 ?

    I'll be playing. Probably well down the ranks as I don't pay enough attention to details to maximise my score, mostly I'm here to see how other's strategies compare to my own so I can improve my game.

    So when does this start?

    As has been said in the main thread, the game starts once the first patch is out. This is mostly due the (rather massive) peace treaty negotiation exploit, which will be fixed in the patch. Since the patch is now at QA stage, we should (hopefully) see it in the next few days.

    GOTM - 01: A New Beginning. Pre-Game Discussion

    I often find (on noble) that AI civs refuse to tech trade if they have a monoply on that tech, especially if the tech give acess to a wonder or military unit. Once a few other civs have also researched it it becomes avaliable, though I've had civs still refusing to trade a tech with me while...

    GOTM - 01: A New Beginning. Pre-Game Discussion

    Didn't realise that, I may have to rethink my strategy. So it comes down to early production (and the 30 chop bonus) vs health and (if you switch to ecology) happiness

    opinions on this strat please

    Looks like a reasonable peaceful strat, only problem is that you leave yourself with quite a weak military while you grab religions. You will nead to increase the amount of military techs/units if you want it to work on higher difficulty levels a the AI gets more agressive and has more units (it...

    GOTM - 01: A New Beginning. Pre-Game Discussion

    Long time lurker, long time civ player (hooked on Civ I), first time poster coming out of the woodwork to sign up for this game of the month (may I suggest IVOTM?) Forum ate my first post, here's the short version. I'm torn between settling in place or 1E. 1E would lose one silk and the...
