Thanks a lot for the precise info, and may I add, it sounds awesome! I bought the bundle on Steam and never actually playedthe expansions. I wanted to get good at the original game first before adding stuff. But it looks like it makes a huge diffence on the gameplay itself. I'll jump right...

@Tatran Yeah we are talking about the vanilla version, thanks for clarifying. I didn't know that it wasn't the same with BTS. But does it changes anything? Can you actually destroy the capitol to prevent the win? Cause that would be awesome (I liked the way it played out in Civ3).

@emperor Ukana that's tempting but feels a bit like cheating doesn't it?

@shakabrade not true in Civ4. Slamming the capitol does'nt destroy the spaceship like in Civ3. Even destroying their Appolo Program doesn't work. You gotta destroy entirely their hammer production basically. In one of my lost games, the good ol' Americans were going off and I destroyed 8...

I've been having troubles lately with powerful Financial AIs like Catherine of the Russians. It seems very difficult to prevent them from winning the late game with their spaceship. Of course, I'm no pro-player and my micro could certainly use some improvement, but I'm working on that. What I...

A settler costs 200 hammers in this mod. Pretty much invalidates any settler REX strategy. It seems far more valuable to invest in military units and conquer cities instead of founding them (as you are going to need lots of units to defend your border cities anyway).

Lost in time and space

Long time stalker, long time Civ player, first post! Just bumping this trend to see if we can come up with something more specific for a Greek strategy for this scenario. It seems to me that things aren't quite as simple as presented here. I've been playing the scenario on Monarch difficulty...
