If there is one thing that really puts me off of these 4x games is the thought of min-maxing in order to play the hardest difficulty possible. As of now I am trying to adjust and I have to learn the different mechanics and their nuances. So far I am aiming towards playing a perfect/close to...

Ok. For some weird reason, I was hungry for some strategy game. I can't get myself to play 5 because I just don't feel like playing 5. As good as 5 is, I just don't feel the magic because of how good the graphics is. I reinstalled BTS. I got this from a sale but sadly I never really get a...

Already killed Austria. I sort of want to keep the CS due to the trade bonus and I would run in to a deficit if I will just conquer them and would have so much unhappiness within my empire. I haven't met 2 more civs since I haven't had any caravels yet but I basically owned my continent. I just...

I was wondering what are the differences between this and the original colonization and is this version worth it? One of the things that really turned me off Civ IV is the combat though so I am curious if the combat in Colonization is alright and whether I could still win despite the problems...

Played as Shaka and I just completed the tradition tree and working on commerce social policy. I was wondering how I could connect my borders since I never set up a city since I just conquered them from 2 other civs. Unfortunately there are a few city states in between and there are no areas...

I was experimenting with warmongers and so far I loved the mongols and their hit and run tactics. I was trying to avoid sort of playing the game to win in X no of turns or view it as sort of a chess game and not enjoy it but just rush my opponents. I was wondering what should I do once the dust...

Ok, Will do. Will report back my progress afterwards. I never used carthage before and I think they had War elephants and that unique boat or something. Will accept more suggestions. Edit: Ok now I'm back and I am stumped. Any tips on Carthage? I am really stumped as of the moment as I have...

My current favourite map is Australia as I want to keep the option of naval invasion or naval support against coastal cities. I usually play continents as most of the time I had a good mix between land and naval combat. I kind of loved getting in to naval combat after melee' ships were...

Summer break is already starting. Just returned to playing Civ. Any tips on which Civ I should use and how I should use it in trying to go from prince to king? I want to take a civ to master while re-learning the basic things to look out for in the game. I really want to start taking civ...

I planned to make the game as peaceful as possible. Assyria is fighting with Egypt while Zulu was gobbling up everyone. I decided to try and liberate them and be the arsenal of democracy (just for role playing sake). I gave them Krakow but kept england's canterburry for myself and would probably...

Game is easy to understand if you have played similar games. I think its even easier to access info this time around. If you have BNW then I guess its a bit confusing as BNW added a lot. As a fellow noob, I would suggest sticking with prince. I thought it was hard at times but I guess its the...

I never really understood France's UA at all. But just to be safe, I already built the Uffizi and the Parthenon on Paris and I plan to build the Louvre on paris as well. I got other wonders on my other cities like the Himeji Castle, Alhambra, Petra and Red Keep in one city and I got the guilds...

I know France was a great choice for culture back then so how is it now in BNW? I got a game going on and trying to build the culture wonders and build up tourism, my question would be, is it better to use Great Musicians as tourism bombs or just create a great work? Also, how does France's UA...

Just an update. Did I place my city well? I am playing on prince level now and I am starting to gain some confidence that I can do it. I combined the best of both Liberty and Freedom to get some good cities and then started with Honor. Now I just need to conquer the 2 remaining Dutch cities. So...

Ok then. I will just have to stop beeline writing-> great library then. I will try it and see how it goes. Thanks!
