Hello folks just tossing this out there as I can no longer play Civ 4 in its current condition. While playing my last game I accidentally hit some keys on my keyboard that ended up changing my map view from the normal default. Now everything is zoomed in close even the city screen. When I try...

Phalanxes beating armor? Ha try settlers beating armor instead. Had that happen to me twice in Civ 1. Needless to say I was quite shocked :eek:

Empty non riverside plains? I leave them unused and put extra population into specialists till eventually setting up workshops down the road when they get the benefits from Guilds + Caste. If they are riverside depends on what the cities purpose is. Production? Farm so they eventually benefit...

As we all know having an isolated start is one of the most dreaded occurrences in Civ 4 due to a lack of having trade partners for tech. But what about those isolated starts where there is one other AI on your continent? In my latest game I randomed Huyana Capac on a mid sized land mass...

What are my fellow Civ players opinions on city ruins? I normally leave them in my cities BFC hoping to get the research event from it. But in my latest game I burnt down 5 of them and left all of them. Some of them were in prime grassland riverside spots robbing me of a nice fully cottaged...

Looking for thoughts and opinions on what other fellow Civ players do with their military units after they've successfully pulled off an early rush on their neighbour. I just recently played a game as Monty and rushed my closest neighbour Asoka with Jags. The first time I foolishly kept his...

Anyone experience this problem? BugCore option - NJAGC__Color_ERA_ORDE? I assume it occurs after you've founded a religion since that is when it happened. It basically removes Bug Mod from the current game I am playing. I am currently using version 014b and patch 4.1

Hello everyone. After getting bored of Civ 4 I decided to try out the FfH2 MOD and was pleasantly suprised at how fun it is. In fact I think it is far better then Civ 4 itself. The problem I am having is trying to figure out the mechanics of the game. Other then trying to find information in...

Well I just finished up my try at Noble/Epic speed and am in complete shock :eek: Willem of Orange won a cultural victory with only 4 cities. The AI with the second worst score in the game pulled a fast one on myself and Saladin who were vying for 1st on the scoreboard and were racing to build...

Wow@all the other scores. I definitely must be doing something wrong seeing as I won with a Timed victory@1910 with a paltry score of only 4210 on Noble, Epic speed. Of course the nearest AI had about 1k less. I even discovered 4 out of the 5 major religions with Buddhism being the only one I...

After looking over many of the games the more experienced players have posted over on the Strategy forum I've noticed that they seem to be able to trade more with the AI's regularily. Plus I've noticed other additions such as the "Glance" tab in the foreign advisor screen that assigns a...

When it comes to commerce the general rule of thumb is to build markets, grocers and banks in cities that are already producing a decent amount of gold. But what about Coastal cities when it comes to harbors and custom houses? The game always seems to recommend building them even in small...

Does anyone know how the game decides which units face which in combat? I've noticed that whenever I select my unit and send it against an AI's mixed forces stack they never face their optimal target (ie spear men vs mounted) unless that is all the army is composed of. Whereas when the AI...

So I've been having a blast playing Civ4 recently till frustration finally set in. Sadly I have only ever won 1 game at the noble difficulty. The biggest reason is I can't figure out the AI. Every time I play through a game the AI rarely fights against more then 1 other AI but I've had...
