    May I read a spoilier

    It's not allowed, cos you can get information about the map, locations, good city-sites, neighbours, etc etc etc... The idea of a GOTM is to play it first without knowledge you shouldn't have :) And as soon as you qualify for a spoiler, you can read it... But I usually don't bother with...

    GOTM-03: Second Spoiler

    After setting up my military factory as described in spoiler 1, I had enough axes to strike Hatsepsut, she was biggest in score, but I didn't think her military would be ready for Axes... I was a few turns away from samurai, so I figured I could take 1 or 2 cities, upgrade some axes to samurai...

    2nd Civ4 Gotm :) After skipping game 2 because I couldn't find the time to play... Well, onto the first part of my game! I started by doing a little test... Rebuilding the starting location and checking if I saw anything that would lure me anywhere else than SW SW... Since I didn't plan on...

    Sid game anyone?

    I have never tried sid as well :) But I might be tempted to play one, just to see how it goes :) I'd probably loose :D But that doesn't make the game less interesting :D And I will continue to play civ3 game of the months for a while I think, especially conquests. I don't even know if I will...

    Help playing harder difficulty levels

    Although I am by no means a great player, I can almost always get 'peaceful' victories on emperor. But I have yet to play a game in which I use no military at all. The basic idea is expansion, which is the most important thing in the first couple of thousand years. If you use settler...

    COTM16 First Spoiler: Middle Ages, Starting Continent

    Open *no particular victory condition* Well, this is one of those games that went pretty much according to what I usually do(I am pretty much a builder) :( I tried to go for domination early on, but after I saw the bad start I was willing to settle for conquering the mainland first and then...
