Ok, I've search all over and cannot this one mentioned, so here we go: 1) On-screen, looking at a city and all the districts 2) From the Counterspy menu, choose a district to place a spy. 3) See the Spy icon go to the designated district. 4) Click 'Next Turn', the Spy bounces back into the...

Ironically, I find Pacifism the most useful for waging war. :D The trick is, I save FAR more on the No Maintenance Fees than I end up paying for with the 'per unit' cost penalty.

In my last game, my Tanks did a pretty good job of beating the Cossacks. ;)

At the very least, the Spy should have a 'Incite Revolt' option. Nothing too extreme, just something along the lines of spreading propaganda that gives an increased chance of a city going into a Revolt. The tricky part is that, realistically, it would have to flip to a Civ that is bordering...

How about a 'Cray'? :(

The real issue is this: Why does Hatty have Nefertitti's headgear? ;) Hatty is a good choice. Ramess should be there as an alternate. Also Khufu. Just because it is fun to say. Try it! 'Khufu'.:D

Artillery, Gunships and Modern Armour. What? :)

I look forward to the patch as someone who is very 'in the middle'. Did 1.52 make the game playable? Yes. For the most part. However, 1) I often have 'pixelated' bits on the Leaders heads, or on my little image flag. Ditto for the Wonder Movies. Yeah, 'sometimes' things look fine, but...

Ah. Well then, go on, do tell. I am extremely curious to see the depth and breadth of your analysis into my Civ snobbery level. This oughta be good... (grabs popcorn, sits in a comfy chair) :rolleyes:

See? This is why old codgers (35) like me who grew-up gaming without 'teh Netz' have no interest in MP gaming *at-all*. My friend (who is even older than me) tried a MP game once for 'Dawn of War'. At the end of it, he said "Ya know, I don't really need to spend my evening be told off by...

Testify! I too just started up on Noble after getting pretty competent on Warloard (had done Cultural, Space Race and Domination wins a few times). Last two games in a row on Noble, I researched Bronze Working first and guess what? No bronze within at least 10 spaces of my capital. :mad...

Given how freakin' hard it is to support more than one city in the early (yeah, I'm lookin' at YOU 'maintenance costs') I would love to see Colonies come back. In truth, I didn't use them that much in Civ 3 because frankly, there wasn't a need to. However, with Civ 4, I feel getting my Civ...

Great ideas. It has been done before of course, but not as developed to the extent listed above. Anyone (yes I know some of you do!) remember the horrific 'electric torture' scenes from Alpha Centauri when you eliminated an opponent? There was a reason I couldn't play that game if the kids...

*takes a bow* Nice to see that English degree of mine come in handy now and then. ;)

Ah, history time 1) Timex Sinclair something or other. Had 2K of RAM on-board, and I bought the massive 3K 'expander' pack. The thing was a real P.O.S., and I took it back after 2 weeks. 2) Commodore 64. Got it when I was 12 (1982). Used it up until first year university (1989). Had the...
