It's so funny. I used to know this stuff pretty well, and I played it on Deity. But I have no clue anymore after 5 years about any of this. :smoke: I might lurk around for this game to see what you guys do. And btw, if I will, I am not checking other threads at all.

It's all work now, and some work-related education as well. And family life, as I got married in the meantime. :) Life brings different things at different periods, right? But the time for play will come back as well. :D

Hi guys! Something reminded me of civ 4 recently, so I checked the old forums. I haven't played civ or posted in the forums for 5 years now, and it's not really in the cards for me anytime soon, but I just wanted to say hello to the old gang! It's so cool you are still playing this game! :)

long time no civ

Great work in the end! :goodjob: It's been popcorn mode for me for quite some time, the required level of engagement demanded much more free time than I had. So, how did TSR play it exactly? Really impressive that it all ended on the same turn.

First of all, happy Easter! :) I'm so out of this game, but maybe just a comment about drafting. I'd think that tech racing is most important now so building up more military units would most likely delay the win. There's not much time left and it would take me too much time (that I don't...

I haven't checked anything yet, but it all sounds like great progress. :goodjob: Machinery next sounds good. Also, Shaka could attack us due to that tribute refusal. Possibly while he's still at war with Willem (I've had stuff like that happen to me).

@Duckweed it's best that you take over for the next set. I'm only skimming at the moment due to RL obligations, but I'll have one free week at the start of the next month so I'll rejoin then.

Sadly, I didn't have the time to finish this. :( I took the challenger save and settled on the coast. Got the GLH and later on vassaled Willem and eliminated Monty with medieval units. I left it around 1500 AD with 20+ cities and plans to settle the new world. The plan would be to build up...

Very nice progress! :cool: Btw, who are we attacking first? If we're going after Will, how do we keep him alive to buy hints? On the other hand, if going for Shaka, do we want some axes for stack protection along with swords and catapults?

I'm sure that shakabrade is doing his best, it's just that real time constraints are killing him so it's easy to miss stuff. I'm also just skimming at the moment, since some boring matters like ~100 tests to grade are taking too much of my time right now. :( @shakabrade I'd grab a nice cold...

Let's not forget that we'll likely have to gift one city to Willem to keep him alive.

Congrats lymond! :thumbsup:

Just to chip in against MC and forges as well, that's a clear no. I never build them so early. Personally, I'm not sure on other issues though. What are the merits of settling the Deer spot before Corn or other way around? I'm also too busy over the week so I haven't followed all the micro...

That might be okay, it sometimes just waits for something to end. Do you have the BTS shortcut on your desktop after that? If not, you could add it manually in POL options. You could also try manul install without the POL script.
