Started the scenario as Japan. I focused on building a strong fleet and investing massively in research&wonders. Halfway through, I've reached the tech peak and started an invasion of Taiwan. I'm second in the points. How can I get to start producing ICBMs. I want to nuke China's heartlands...

This is confusing. I see icons well beyond the Fat Cross even though they appear to be sized smaller. There are white circles on the surrounding tiles that I can activate/deactivate/displace. From the resulting effects on the production, I'd wander a guess and say that they represent the tiles...

Hi, I'm a newbie at CivIV (and Civ in general). I've been playing Tokugawa in the Earth scenario at Noble level, standard pace, since I bought the game. I just like to start from Japan. The strat I've been employing up to this point is to rush-colonize the Philippines, Indonesia, Australia and...

AFAIK, USB external drives eat a lot of CPU cycles. A Firewire one would be better. In fact many ext HD offer both types of connection.

Another thing. I'm not sure how far along the modding is but I'm also looking for a 4-way North America scenario. Theme: Civil Wars Civs: US-North, US-South, Canada-English, Canada-French

My PC's RAM is quite limited (512Mb to be shared with the video card). I'm looking for a scenario containing an accurate map of Earth (with all major continents) and with the civs starting in their historical locations (ie Aztecs and Incas start in America, balanced by barbarians). Bearing in...
