Just having my second complete play through of the game and trying to do things differently. This time I accepted Charadon's surrender and he has stayed alive. But despite having built all the culture buildings I can I am constantly being asked to give give my cities to him and I have suffered...

Okay, thanks for the info. Fury Road is also the name of the new Mad Max film!

Back in the old Civ2 days I had a CD with I think it was 16 or 20 scenarios on it that I had bought. I think they released 2 such CD's. I really loved one particular game, set in a post apocalyptic world there were three playable human civ's. One called the New Beatles with a starting position...

By the time I got the tech to build the Hermetic Sanctuary the Ice God faction had already built it. I've only just started to conquer their territory and much to my surprise I found it built in a city closest to my lands, the old Dervellio (sp?) capital is to the South East. If I had raised the...

Ah! Thanks for the help.

I have all the tech and lots of rangers out hunting bears, spiders and mammoth and all that seems to happen is that the animals get killed. Do I have to do something to capture them? Are the odds of a capture really low?

Yes, thats why I refused the priest. Who knows whats happens if you take him in.

I'll have to go through the saves to find it but I know that the skeleton had no promotions. It does not seem to get them. It gains xp but never levels. I was attacking the giant which was on flat ice, no hills or forest. No river. I was however on a hill. Does that make a difference when...

Oh! I have read somewhere that you only have to refuse him if you only have one city. After that you can accept him. This may of course be wrong! But you know on your city screen, where in vanilla Civ4 you have the symbols of the religions that are available? Well, as you know there will be a...

The ogre came from an event. I was asked if an ogre got a needle in its paw, would I help it or kill it off. I decided to help it and voilà. I also refused the priest and therefore have no religion. I have no idea if that was the best decision. But I love my ogre. I call her Harold.

Thanks for the info folks. I was not implying that things were wrong. I seem to be missing something. I can see that the combat bonus' are twice that of vanilla Civ4 but I still seem to be missing some factors. Factors that are not included in the odds calc. I'll see if I can be bothered to...

Not so sure, I mean Civ2 introduced hit points concept for first time so a warrior had 10 and an armour unit 30. IIRC. I seem to remember some modern units like fighters could be taken down by out of date stuff but tanks were quite tough. Anyway, I've had one play through of a standard Civ4...

New to the scenario. Quite new to Civ4 but a veteran of Civ2 and Alpha C. Anyway, took all the other human cites as Chanadon was killed off by Taranis not long after I made peace with him. Trying to expand and explore and suddenly from the West comes a stream of 5 frost giants. But they don't...

Thanks for the help people!

Ah, thanks for that info and the welcome. It seems strange that a city that is receiving no benefit from the horse has it listed in its resources box. Hence my confusion!
