    So I prove that Catherine is infact far better looking then Boudica :P

    Cathy looks like the girls I go out with. Boudica looks like the girls I wake up with.

    Buying City Improvements/Wonders

    Yes, but not until much later in the game. Early on, after changing to slavery (which needs bronze working) you can use the whip instead.

    Separate subforum for sample games?

    The succession games in the Stories & Tales section often have many pages of discussion on whether to settle in place. I agree about the ALC and one or two others that attempt to explore specific strategies for dealing with particular settings but most of the games now have less strategy...

    I need some pointers to help step up my warmongering...

    Welcome to the forums, MufasaTheMighty :goodjob: You could try a very early war - try to steal your nearest neighbours first worker then park your warrior in a well defended spot right next to the capital. Send another unit to pillage any resource improvements they have. This will totally...

    Found a new Civ4 book on Amazon

    It is not new, according to Amazon; First Edition edition (May 30, 2007) It is also $30+ for 80 pages of very large print. Three out of 5 people unfortunate enough to buy it rated it 1 star. Perhaps, that's why it hasn't been heard of before.

    How to get more random events?

    Not a modder myself, but EVENT_PROBABILITY_ROLL_SIDES in C:\Program Files\Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\Beyond the Sword\Assets\XML\GlobalDefines.xml might be relevent. If that doesn't help then you might get better info from the modders forum...

    Civilization Revolution the final nail ?

    I would very much doubt that more people have PCs capable of playing 3D games adequately (even graphically simple ones like CIV) than have consoles. My 2-year old top of the range, dual core , max-ed out 2GB RAM, dell laptop struggles on standard maps with 7 opponents.

    Civilization Revolution the final nail ?

    These days, I bet that far more laptops, mostly cheaper ones, are sold than PCs. Laptops cannot match consoles for gaming and most families are more likely to buy a laptop and console rather than a laptop and top of the range gaming PC.
