I agree huts at settler make it too much of a lucky dip and favour those that are happy to reply a lot of games (ie not me). I think the format is great and the idea of having a number of levels with a handicap system is good. However I think the spread of levels is too great and the bonus for...

Panzer tanks are good in an end game, they even stand up to Modern Armour - however I am aware that many players are not that keen on a long game and just seem to enjoy the early rush. (go on send your stack of axes at me). Dogs seem to have a lot of spots in the hof, but I guess this is...

Thanks for all the advice. From my limited experience all I would say to anyone new to espionage, two words 'Great Wall'. Not only does it give you the espionage lead for the rest of the game without too much further effort - Imbed first GS and SY the second, but it also keeps out all the...

on second thoughts nukes arent that bad. Especially when Alex who you are on the verge of declaring war, and has a stockpile of 10 nukes, decides to declare on Gilgamesh (the only other civ left) and drops all his nukes on him instead. In the meantime I quickly build up a huge arsenal of around...

I've only used nukes once and have never been nuked, but things may be about to change so I have some pressing questions...... 1. Can a country defy a UN resolution in BTS (much like with the AP)? Can they defy the Nuclear Non-proliferation treaty? 2. If one can defy what are the...

Thanks link is great, explains lots of odds and sods. Any chance of a bit of help on any of the other questions?

What is the BUG mod? I am patched and have the hof mod? Is that the same. All advice greatly received.....

I have recently upgraded to bts (only played a few medium religious victories) and have a few questions as the bts manual and civ help seems very poor. I have also tried to find answers on the forums but with no luck. Most questions off the top of my head are around espionage. 1. How long...

Thanks for all the answers so far, v helpful esp Forests and first strike and drill info. Also really good point that barracks in effect give you two free drafts, never noticed.... can be useful with limited time tech edge Just to clarify a few of my questions: 2. Is there a thread or help...

11. How do I change the details on the left so that it says I'm a prince player and I only joined the forum a few days back. Have changed the level in my profile but it makes no diff. Is the level to do with how active you are on the site? :confused:

Fancy sharing your Civ knowledge? I have a few questions that I have always wondered about (well since around the time I started playing Civ) 1. When are new land tiles you control counted in your stats for domination victories. Is it diff depending on whether you founded, captured or they...
