I started the buildup for my pending war versus Justinian by building/whipping cats and war elephants with some swordsmen and an axeman or two sprinkled in. I built a spy to scout Justinian's territory and find out where that damn culture bomb city was. Shortly thereafter it was time for...

@jwez: CoL is going to be my next tech after HBR. I didn't really need rathauses as much earlier since my cities are smaller and were only costing me 2 or 3 gold. Obviously, after my elepult war, I'll need to build them. The bum Justinian must have culture bombed one of his cities as I...

I'm usually not a very good axe rusher but I gave it a shot with mixed results. I'm sure I waited too long and should have rushed earlier with 6 axes but I brought 9 with me just to make sure I took Justinian's capital. By the time I attacked, Justinian had iron hooked up and I met a few...

Still scouting and we meet our Indian neighbor Asoka. He's somewhere east or SE of me but I've yet to find him. As Devo would say, whip it, whip it good. Two settlers whipped and two cities founded. Prague is put 1E of the copper as suggested and I moved Vienna 1W of where I...

That's a very good question. :blush: I was so caught up in my preconceptions of where cities should go that I ended up making my dotmap backwards. Instead of dotmapping cities and trying to force my copper city into it (which I agree was a crappy spot due to food issues and too many...

That's exactly what I ended up doing and it was definitely the right choice as it reveals a second corn. Sweet! I moved the settler 1W onto the river which gives me 12 grasslands and 4 grassland hills along with the two corn. Nice capital here. Started scouting towards the east and...

Hi all! Long time lurker and first time poster of a play along game so please be patient with me. Settings are pretty standard. Using BTS with the most recent BUG mod I believe. Monarch difficulty with Standard map, Fractal, Normal Speed with choose religions and huts for some flavor. No...

Bachelor of Industrial Engineenering here. I knew plenty of incredibly brilliant people in their own field at college but most had zero common sense. One of my roommates tried to do some of his laundry in a wok for heavens sake! :eek: Can't wait for Civ IV to get here. It looks like it...
