I have a few questions about this strategy.. Just to be sure.. what's qualifies in your book as a "production city"? How many hills? How do you get the computer to pay for open borders? I can't even get them for free and I've tried selling them for 10 and they still won't bite. Do you...

You can't envy the designers. Civilization IV is awesome, especially with all the expansion packs. It's hard to come up with something completely new and still be able to put the title Civilization on it. I think the game is really great for drawing in new players to the title. It has some...

Question... If you play a civilization like the Persians, Greeks or Romans that have an ancient unique unit intended for early conquest. When do you start to build your military infrastructure? Right from the start, around 2000 BC, or later? Also: Does it mean you forsake all...

Reminds me of Civ I where you could hold off whole armies, fleets of bombers included, with one phalanx in a walled city on a hill. Talk about a true patriot.. :)

On the bright side, if the game is more simple in terms of options, it will attract lots of new players and that way keep the license alive and thriving. Not EVERYBODY over thirty still has time to play games for hours and hours. Also, I could be mistaken, but wasn't the game designed with...

I'm just started playing Civ V. I'm about to start my second game, actually. :) (yes.. at 2:26 AM GMT+1.. why not? Just another peek..) Does anybody have any useful suggestions for building a mercantile empire based on trade, trade and more trade? I want to be the richest, have tons...

I played Civ V yesterday for the first time. I've been a civilization fan since somebody showed me the first one back when the ice had just started melting and playing games with a digital tape recorder was still very fresh in my memory. :) ( you had to put your feet on it sometimes and...

THREE?? What a nightmare? This was the only really big drawback to playing coop with my friend on his network at his place; deciding which Founding father to take. You really have to be with somebody that has the same approach to the game and not opposite like me and him. ( i like to conquer...

How long would a marathon game take from 1492 to 1792 in PBEM? Would the game still run on Vista 2020, for instance? :lol:

I agree. The AoD mod fixes a lot in terms of getting the feel of the old game, blending it with modern ideas from Civilization and I find playing 3 times more enjoyable then I did before I installed it. There's more happening. I just started playing this game and, after initially hating it...

Cool.. .............................

What would be the problem with it then? A friend of mine could set it up and host a server to connect to. He has two really good computers and works as a network support guy. I have no idea what he does exactly but he has good equipment and a good internet connection. I'm targetting...

Well once we have a couple of players we can discuss a schedule that works for everybody, plus other details. We could play two times five hours too, or three times four. The point is to play a long game all the way through, in sessions, without having to rush it. In response to the X-Fire...

And what does the pitboss do exactly?

I just played my first multiplayer game. I followed the tips listed of 10 things you shouldn't do in a multiplayer. Somebody listed them but I can't remember where the thread is. His thread said to focus on army as much as possible and that's exactly what I did. I found myself being obsessed...
