    Favorite sounds in the game?

    Mine would have to be Baba Yetu (catchy as heck), the sound when you build a coliseum (just love it :D), and when you build a courthouse (since I work in the judicial system) Oddly enough, I have been in front of different judges in different courthouses and never heard a judge actually 1) use a...

    Horse Archer rush. Now what?

    I had a slightly similar situation in my Warlords game using Russia (peter). Wiped out Victoria fairly early but I was REXing without quite realizing it until my economy was at 10% on the slider (whoops). I spamed cottages (had a gold mine also) and recovered. But now its late in the game...

    Question about random events in BTS

    Thanks for all the replies. I'm still in the same game and now have had Gems appear in one of my other cities mines :lol:. Yeah, I had a quest to build 9 coliseums before the modern age and if I had the statue of Zeus I would get something extra. Well I did that and had the Zeus statue but...

    Question about random events in BTS

    Disclaimer: I am new (as in a couple days) to BTS but not CivIV/Warlords. I know you can turn random events on and off but if I turn them off would that prevent things like iron or gems (etc.) from appearing on already mined hills? For example, in my game last night with the discovery of...

    How often do you reload a save?

    The only time I reload in CIV has been when I group a setter and warrior and accidently end up only moving the Settler, who then promptly gets killed by the lurking barbarian wolf/lion/axeman etc. Other than that I have not really seen a need to reload. Now, in Civ 2 I reloaded all the...

    CIV III Fanatic=CIV IV n00b

    Never played Civ 3 to any degree really. I borrowed the game from a friend and played 2 games for maybe 200 turns each. I hated the fact in Civ3 the enemy could walk into your zone of control and plop down a city. I unloaded the game and never looked back. I was a HUGE fan of Civ 1 and 2...

    Resources from mining

    Had gems appear on a mine about the middle of the game near one of my first cities and in different game gold appear late in the game on a mine. Its like free money.

    A nice little way nukes can make you happy.

    The only time the AI launched a Nuke at me was in Civ I. I was happily building the spaceship and I recall that one of the AI's had built the Manhatten project. I hit the end turn button....only to see a few seconds later a missle marching its way across my screen to one of MY cities :mad...

    Star Wars Galaxies.....

    I have never played SWG either, however I agree with MrCynical as to the pointless grind etc. :rolleyes: WOW came closest to being fun for casual play in an MMORPG that i've seen, but here again, to get powerful items etc you almost had to play non-stop or your buddies quickly outpaced you...
