    Would you import any features from other Civ games into Civ IV?

    I've only played a little bit of Civ 6 (started a few, but never finished any games), but here is what stood out to me as improvements, or at least good ideas that might have been nice to have in 4. -Civic/Culture tree (can't even remember what it was called, the purple one lol) -Natural...

    Did they make this game harder?

    A lot of people are suggesting how to better play the game, but if you don't care about that and just want to focus on war here are some things to keep in mind: Defenders have the advantage, especially on forests, hills, across rivers, cities, and worst of all cities built on hills across a...

    (Rant) Why I love and hate Civ IV

    The older games let you do this, and is why it was changed. I think even in Civ 3 you could have open borders with someone, put troops all around their cities, and then declare war on them and wipe them out. That was dumb, so in Civ 4 they made it so that if you declare war on someone, your...

    Can't find interest. Help!

    I find that using unrestricted leaders tends to make it more interesting. It's kind of like a mod since it's usually something new (hmmm, Montezuma has keshiks now :crazyeye: can Isabella found all the religions when her new civ doesn't start with mysticism? etc), but it doesn't actually change...

    Idea of a livestream

    If this is something you are interested in doing, then go ahead and do it. Post updates here (or somewhere people will find it) and if people are interested, they'll start following it / commenting on it. The only way to gauge if people are actually interested in something is to do it and see...

    Historical events in Civ IV terms

    Open Borders, Split in Two: Military and Civilian

    Well, why are you trying to settle somewhere that your army can't access/defend? :mischief:

    So, I'm pretty happy

    Congrats, I finally won a cultural victory in vanilla a few months ago. I didn't really enjoy it though - I had to spend many turns with the culture slider on 100% which meant I could no longer research or really do anything else. Just had to sit and wait and hope no one attacked my island with...

    News: BOTM 77 - Starts 15 April

    7 AIs on an Earth-like map... hmmm, should we speculate on where they are? Equally distributed? 1 Central Asia, 1 Middle East/Eastern Europe, 1 Western Europe, 1 Africa, 1 North America, 1 South America? Or boxing us in? China, Japan, India, Arabia, Persia, Russia, Mongolia? lol

    Question For Lefties

    I don't see what the problem is. I don't even use the keyboard when I'm playing this game aside from using the ctrl key to group units (which is on BOTH sides of the keyboard).

    Quick Answers / 'Newbie' Questions

    Not medic related, but a great way to level up catapults is to whittle down a defender so that you have >99% chance of withdraw (since catapults can't kill). Catapults get XP from withdrawing successfully, so you can get some free XP for ALL of your available catapults before you finally send a...

    Can AI ask for peace?

    It changes the game because it causes wars to go on longer than they need to. A lot of my wars are where the AI declares on me. After I have beaten them back, I would prefer to know when they are "done" and ready to call it quits. As it is, if you approach them for peace, (it seems like) you...

    Don't you love it when...

    I was bordering two other civs who were both a bit stronger than me. I was Hindu and they were both Buddhist, so they hated me because I didn't have their religion. I could see they were starting to build armies and knew they were going to attack me. However, apparently they didn't like each...

    RFC or Realism Invictus?

    That's what I thought, but all I've found is frustration. It's just "too scripted" in my opinion. For example, I was playing as Babylon and doing very well (if I do say so myself). I had destroyed Persia, India, Ottomans, Egypt, and Ethiopia. All that was left was a very weak Arabia...

    WOTM 57 Final Spoiler

    So, I lost via conquest (AI captured my last city), so how am I supposed to submit it? I didn't think they were going to get me on that specific turn, so I didn't save it. It happened in 1740 AD and my last autosave was 1730 AD. I reloaded the autosave to replay through to save it before 1740...
