Rally points: Select city. [Shift+RightClick] a tile to set it as a rally point for units produced by that city. [Shift+RightClick] on the city itself to erase the rally point. Select all cities: [Ctrl+LeftClick] any city. Now you can build the same unit in each, or set their rally points to...

Maybe it's just me, but the weaknesses of the game's combat system - talking about the interface more than mechanics here - becomes really apparent in the modern age, especially on maps bigger than "small". It almost seems like another game...I really enjoy combat in the ancient, medieval...

Does everything seem balanced still with this mod? In other words, the game doesn't always end in like 1 AD and give you a huge score just because you're able to fight so many battles? I like the idea of more fighting, more use of units over a given time period, but I worry about how other...

Good idea, maybe someone could mod this or maybe it'll appear in a patch. Would be useful for many people, I believe. Shinnl for the win!

Each to their own I guess, Smirk. I see where you're coming from, I just prefer to play the hand I'm given. Also it teaches me to win in ways other than what I'm comfortable with. But I'm not trying to say others don't have their own way to do things. That's what's fun about SP games... it IS...

Yeah, I quite like the challenge of discovering what resources are close by, and tailoring your plan to that. I would never restart a game because I didn't get the right resources. I might lose, but it would be fun trying to overcome a handicap like that. I've had games on smaller maps where...

Multiplayer games actually go pretty fast, at least compared to earlier Civ versions. Still not like an RTS of course. If you want to ultimately focus on multiplayer, I would actually suggest alternating between online and single player games. That way you get to learn some depth (game...

Anyone? :(

For my purposes, I would order the list this way: Group 1 -Financial -Philosophical -Aggressive (group 1.5?) Group 2 -Creative -Expansive (group 2.5?) -Industrious Group 3 -Organized -Spiritual That's just in general. Map and difficulty considerations matter a lot. I MAY drop aggressive into...

Good point, I do this often and it's amazing how much more production you can squeeze out because of those useless tundra tiles. Now if only chopping jungle gave you hammers :cry:

Hehe, no worries marco... I'm sure lots of people don't know about this. ;)

Just a topic for discussion - How much do your strategies rely on copper and/or iron? If you're a rusher, do you switch gears and go economically if you don't have easy access to them? Do you try to rush anyway with what you do have? Or just re-start? On the other hand, If you're not planning...

I was really enamored of Industrious in my earliest games but have since found other traits much more useful - unless you absolutely need those early wonders, like others have said. Still, even that can be subject to having stone/marble nearby, else you might STILL lose out to other civs that...

Random is the way to go, since it makes you play civs you might otherwise never choose. Just be sure to pay attention to what your traits are once the game starts, and play to those if you want to maximise your strengths. If you want to increase your chances of actually winning your early...

Ok, bad joke...my brother and I call them "barbers" rather than the more usual "barbs" (have since Civ1)...so this leads to lots of corny humor. :D Actually the question I have is very simple and I apologise if it's been answered a brazillion times before. Does choosing 'Raging Barbarians'...
