    ugliest leader

    I'm pretty sure I read on the Civlopedia that Hatsheput married her half brother who was in his early thirties whilst she was a young teenager, and they had a child together. Any sort of beauty associated with Hatsheput is now immediately gone forever in my mind. :eek:

    Civ 4 vs Social Relationships

    Single, although I'm trying to improve my relations with a so-called girl, I have a +9 diplomacy relationship with her at the moment, although I don't think she is too keen with me, +4 I think. Think I might trade some of my crab for her fish and take it from there.

    So I'm finally winning on Monarch, but...

    In my opinion most of the civilizations you picked are not pushovers :eek: Shaka must have a personal grudge against me, he always finds a way to declare war on me regardless. I suppose if you're going for a peaceful win...but even then, Charlemagne can be a nuisance. I would have gone for -...

    How to counter raging barbarians?

    Evidently your friend can't play the game without everyone else getting raging barbarians whilst he enjoys the Great Wall, next time tell him to play fair or you're gonna leave in a huff. Keep making the Great Wall or don't join his games till he gets the point. As for normal multiplayer games...

    Using Workers Efficiently

    I definitely micro manage workers at the start of the game to get hooked up on crucial resources, after that it depends. If I have a relatively small civilization and I'm going for cultural or space victory, then I'll probably micro manage throughout the game to make sure I'm being as efficient...

    Why does bombarding city defenses sometimes only causes -2%/turn?

    Depends on the situation of the game I guess, siege is pretty important but not crucial. The last game I just played I managed a domination victory (followed by conquest) by not using any siege at all, I was just so far advanced most of the time it was Cavalry vs Longbowmen. Having siege weapons...

    Quick Answers / 'Newbie' Questions

    Ah right that makes some sense, you know your stuff :D Yeah I very rarely reload and today was just one of the few occasions I did, was just getting fed up with my 'luck' I guess. I most certainly wouldn't do it in a competition :) Completely gave up on that game, just couldn't be bothered with...

    Quick Answers / 'Newbie' Questions

    Are the combat results pre-determined? I ask this because I am perplexed after what I've just seen. Here's the story - I'm HC, neighbouring me is Isabella. Early in the game, she decides to build a city in a really annoying place, so I decide to declare war and to raze the city at once. My...

    Things in this game that annoy you to no end

    When the AI becomes a vassal of another allied AI when he only has one or two cities left, forcing peace. Incrediblely annoying for me, I like to finish the job off when I'm conquering, not leave one or two cities of his and for him to keep contacting me about how much he hates me.

    Montezuma

    Ah right okay, think I'm just going to be a lot more cautious when bordering civs like them! I've just finished the game and I failed, on another continent was Shaka who also loved war and conquering people, he declared war on me about 5 times. With 11 turns to go and him dominating the points...

    Montezuma

    Lol I was about to post a similar topic until I saw this. Just playing a game on Noble as the Khmer empire, I'm bordering Kublai Khan, but we are Friendly with each other as we are the same religion. In fact, we had a +11 relationship, the only -1 being our close borders spark tensions. But he...

    A Very Winnable Deity Map

    I decided to also play a Deity game with HC and with similar settings, and I've attached the starting file if anyone is interested. I was quite surprised to see you start on the coast with 4 gold resources nearby too...I'm not sure whether that's a good or bad thing, but thought it was...

    Nobles' Club XL: Mehmed II of the Ottomans

    @delamb - Working now, thanks! :) Didn't know the screenshot folder existed, I was print screening it, pasting it onto Paint, but getting no luck because it print screen whatever other programs were open and not civ.
