Locutus, you said that you are not of fan of including any North American native group in the game because none of them qualify as a civ. I'm just wondering what definition you use for civilization, do you follow the traits definded by V. Gordon Childe for your definition of a civilization...

It truely is on the easy side. I played through once as aquataine on noble difficulty and won with out too much trouble. Not a great victory so I deceided to try again and see how I could improve my game. Well more of how to most effectivily spend my advance start cash. Any who spent a...

I wouldn't consider a historical fiction novel series, which "interweaves history and adventure.", as a reference for historical fact. The quote comes from Conn Iggulden's own website www.conniggulden.com. I did see a show on discovery channel or history channel which also claimed that Caesar...

woot finally regained access to my computer I didn't think I was going to get the chance to submit. I played on contender and managed to a space race victory even though my end game fell apart. I find I get really bored with the later game and end up not really paying attention to everything I...

My first move will be dependent on where i want to move the scout. I'm tempted to move to the forest east of the cows to see what's to the south or jogging up to the plains hill in north. I won't be settling in place, I'll atleast move one east to get the plains hill to the north rather then...

Smack dab in the middle of exams, but these settings seem doable for a nice study break. With expansion trait are you able to have more cities with less cost to your economy? I've nevered figure out the transition from civ3 to civ 4 based on the optimal number of cities. Mehmed II seems to...

Do not post here once you have started the game

That's so much food resources for one city. I don't know how I'll handle that.

I think that I will settle in place, and again try for a Military victory, just to try and improve my war skills. Great wall will probably get a very high priority because it basically nulls any barb problems. That depends of course on what the land mass is like, If it can easily be fog...

I'm surprised that so many of you seemed to have played the game without access to iron. I was able to settle next to the Iron that was very close to Napolean with my 3rd or 4th city. Granted it was quite far from my borders but i wanted to secure iron and deny napolean that resource...

I'm not a fan of maps with tons of land, I'm not ready to commit the time it take s for military victories. I started this GOTM with the idea of attempting a military win, I was able to conquor germany ealy which gave me a really nice bottle neck to protect my lands. But after my war with...

Playing the adventure save and aimed for a cultural victory Initially I moved my settler one SE and settled. I moved my warrior north up the pennisula to look for sea goodies. With my two archers I went exploring as far as possible and met Egypt, India and Mongolia. Later i used my archers...

Having 9 cities allows you to build enough temples so that you are able to build the 3rd tier religious building(s) in your three culture cities.

Date is my favourite tribe, easy to keep yourself from having to deal with 2 front wars. I think it's also important to build the war council even if it's just to keep it out of the AI's hands

I would have voted for mario ( if i had access to a computer yesterday). I can't even guess how many countless hours of childhood were spent on that game, It's still fun even today, in fact i think i'll go play it now.
