I would like to play a new type of game that combines traits from many other games. Imagine a world where players begin with no tools or technology, where you start off as basically a member of a herd of hunter foragers. The world would be populated by many herds of real players that compete...

fryguy101 accused me of cheating because by turn 40 i had 4 vet dragoons and 3 cannon, one with vet 6 and general attached. I had peter so my units cost 25% less, and i was jose so i started with a vet soldier, i also had 2 vet soldier immigrants. Rare but it happens. The cannon cost less than...

You forget that expert farmers generate 2x as much food, err dont they? I know i have had 14 food a turn from a farmed banana but it could be that my huge bell production was increasing my overall production through rebel sentiment. O well banana is food you eat it gg.

I made a mistake, he was talking about fighting indians and fighting europeans but i took it as meaning just single player fighting the ai. And since i had said the poll was to not include tactics to fight the king i suppose i considered him talking about fighting ai natives and what i had...

I just realized i could simply make 1-3 polls and let people vote multiple times to gather information on a few aspects of the game in each thread, instead of a very large number of polls where i would have to wait for one poll to finish before i could start the next one related to it.

I would like to start a new series of polls whose aim is to narrow down the list of settings and in house rules that most multiplayers agree on to be the best for this game civ4col vanilla. If the public is for it then it will look something like this: Game speed 1 quick 2 normal 3...

Farm it, dont cut down the forest or you lose the banana food bonus. A banana on grassland with a river next to it is one of the most productive food generating tiles when you put an expert farmer on it. Something like 14 food a turn gained from one worker.

The post you linked is a follow up to this post: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=302418 And to answer your question "what if your initial dragoon dies" The answer is he NEVER WILL, EVER on the first attack or any attack. And that answer just generates the new question...

Thats a good way to get a city with buildings intact, if you can time it right so the king doesnt take it first. The only way you can fight their king is if you sign a permanent alliance agreement with them, and you might have to do it before they declare independance. But when you sign that...

The game is not easy enough already? You need the ai colonists to settle in predetermined internment camp islands you designate for them? If you really want to have an easy game you could play hotseat and control the ai players as well and see if you can make as many stupid mistakes as they do...

Actually when you complained about my silver post i thought you were referring to this thread here: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=305444 And not this other one here: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=306003 Beause in the first thread my initial post is...

It only takes about 4 or 5 more turns of trading to get the gold difference between privateer and frigate. Are you trying to say having a privateer for 4 turns will get you a great general? Are you trying to say that if you make a privateer on turn 8 and i make a frigate on turn 12 that your...

I should have been more specific in my original post. I did clearly state that any general vote you have must NOT be to fight the kings army. But when i said this i intended it to mean NOT for single player and/or fighting the king. Since natives, europeans, and the kings army will always behave...

I dont totally agree, i think tools are always an important commodity to buy from europe and price hikes can effect your economy with this product more than any other since its the core element used to build buildings, transports, warships, guns, cannon, and used temporarily to make improvements...
