My post from the First Spoiler thread here. As I mentioned there, this was my first GotM and my first game above Noble difficulty. I decided a Cultural win would be my best shot. By 500 AD, I had 5 cities total (three cramped on my original island, one to the S, and one to the SE). Qin had...

This is my first GotM. I've come back to Civ IV with a vengeance recently after playing off and on for the past year. I've never played above Noble, so I go into this knowing I'll probably get killed... Adventurer, going for Cultural I decided I had no chance to win militarily at...

Thanks kindly, Erkon. (Sadly, I think I'm not far from the end of my first attempt at one of these _otM.)

Stupid question: I've never saved a game after it was over. Do I need to do anything special? Will I only be able to save it if I click "Just one more turn... (keep playing)," or does that not matter?

I've just picked up a nine-buck jewel case of Civ2 (Classic) and become completely hooked in the past two weeks. Due to work/relationship, I can only play about an hour or two at a time (with the occasional weekend binge), but I would love to start/join a succession game with a few other smart...
