What does the patch do? I heard there was a patch comming out but I never heard that it actually had came out. . . Should I take the time to download it, considering that Civ 4 already runs pretty stabily on my computer.

Ok here is the thing guys that I was trying to explain earlier. I've played the other civ games before. 1, III, and now IV. . . I've beaten it easy on cheiftan, I've come close to beating it on warlord and I want to finish a game on warlord WITHOUT CONQUERING THE WORLD. I'm just so damn...

Pangea is good for learning and working with land warfare but I personally prefer to use continents because its good for working with a balanced strategy of having both a powerful navy and a powerful army.

This much I know I don't like Open boarders agreements if I can avoid them. Only time I ever do that is if I'm between two nations who are at war and then I sell it to them both at a huge profit. I may leave people around but I don't leave them powerful enough to attack me even if they...

True but first of all Britain is only very loosely tied to the EU when compaired to other EU nations such as France and Germany. Second of all I was speaking in terms of relative world power. Put bluntly, Canada doesn't have a heck of a lot while Britain is typically the second country...

I prefer to occupy simply because I don't want to spend the time getting settlers there and its easier to just beat down the resistance and build some culture producing buildings. Plus its nice for the units to have a place to heal up after they conquer it. Although your right it does...

Against Montezuma of course. BTW I played with some of the tips in the strat guide and I'm doing well on Warlord right now with Russia. But the problem is I'm afraid its a lot of luck. I was fortunute in this game to have started on a nice Pennesula with lots of resources. So I basically...

Seems to me that it might have been more prudent to combine Canada and the US as well as possibly mexico and call them North American Alliance. Britian by itself is more of a major player in international affairs then Canada is yet it combined Britian into the EU but Canada gets its own...

So I can't play this out like the swiss?? BTW the greeks attacks where pretty feeble. I didn't leave them with much of an army the only problem was that when I was off fighting the other civs they probably figured they could help out by just pillaging infrastructure. I went on to finish...

Ok I've always been bad at Civ only being able to beat the game on Cheiftain level. I've ALMOST beat it on Warlord but not quite. The problem I keep having is that I will be going along, building my infrastructure and things and then suddenly 3 or 4 other civs will suddenly all at once...
