A gentleman named Alan Hart replied to me, and said he would upload it for me after he had fixed it. He did, and then emailed me confirmation. Fantastic service for a gaming website all-round. Top bloke.

I also got that message, and used the alternative method of email listed on the page. If that's not OK, I'll submit through the page when it's fixed. :)

Ah man, very depressing to read the previous two accounts. :( Domination win, 1907. My old sickness haunted me: taking too long to prepare for war, and realising too late that I could have easily started each one 20 turns sooner. Cats and maces for Augustus and Wang. Rifles and Cannons for...

Feeble 1975 cultural win. No wars at all until 1900s. I faffed around too long spreading religions, hence abysmal end date. :( Been over a year since I last played, so rusty as hell (that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!)

Got Pyramids in capital, Great Lighthouse in 2nd city. Purposely made that city coastal, built 2 galleys and went off exploring the islands. Ghengis of India (makes me LOL just typing that) had already pinched the "best" iron spot, so took the consolation prize of copper. There's 4 Hindus, 1...

Back playing BTS after years away. :) Had to buy another copy (Steam version) as my old disk is AWOL. But it was worth it. Played a few warm-ups on Monarch over the last month, now time to step it up, like the good-old-days. (It took me about 4 hours to get the Steam version to work with...

LOOOL Pro Civ4 gamer? Yeah...this could be a profession... :mischief: I imagine I would crush you 9 times out of 10, like most other opponents. I am a GAMER, not just a Civ4 gamer, and am well versed in game-theory and strategy in a more general sense than the confines of this particular...

SP: On, not raging. MP: Off

"1. Reduced the maintanence cost for both distance and number of cities to 1%. (This basically leads to no maintanence at all)" Warmonger will be the only viable strategy then, end of story. As long as that's cool, then cool, but don't believe you could possibly beat a human player peacefully...

On Monarch, I would expect to win this with either HC, JC or Monty. I don't see the problem: what AI is going to out war me? None. So what stops me getting to be insurmountably big? Nothing. So the problem is...?

Perhaps the original poster could perhaps do us a little screenshot of him winning, by a supreme margin, a huge prince game on a hemispheres map with 6 massive continents? To prove his point? A normalised score of, say, 30,000 would suffice. This, btw, is achievable, without having to be a...

I'm in a very similar situation here, ex Monarch player, been about a year since last played, but I only went back to Prince. Played 2 games in last week, both Marathon/Large with HC (I love Ind/Fin, what can I say? Add in the Terrace and I start drooling!) Space win in the first, Culture in...

Since when does Tok ever get big enough for his votes to matter?

The Settlers is the greatest game of all time. Every sequel has entirely missed what made it so fabulous though. :(

Wow, I don't log in to the forums for three days and a brilliant thread like this pops up! Obsolete, Excellent game, sir! You do come across as a bit arrogant at times but I generally don't mind that in a person...a lot of people confuse confidence with arrogance after all. HOWEVER...
