Of necessity - I play to conquer all, on a huge map with all the other civs set - so there are never enough cities to go round.

What a strange Poll. It doesn't have the option of "Stay Playing Civ3". What would be the driver for changing to Civ IV? I play solo, and I have many more-than-adequate graphics for a turn-based game thanks to aaglo and the many others ((thanks to all those 'departed'(?) creators once...

But in my view it is the unlimited rail movement that is the problem. The railways did change warfare & society, but the speed & capacity of Puffing Billy in 1813(?), hardly compared with those at the Rainhill Trials a few years later, and so on through the 19th Century. Civ doesn't reflect...

I've just started looking at this thread and I don't understand why things should be so complicated. Unlimited RR travel is rather loopy, but so is the idea that any unit can join it at any point and then take advantage of speed. Surely the railway should only be the infrastructure, rather...

slight critique - the board needs to be rotated 90 degrees - "white on the right"

On the question of scale, for me the original Firaxis 'size' for a unit is obviously the best, since it is consistent with the background and is aesthetically pleasing. I do use the 'grossly oversized' units however, because I like the variety, but I think it a shame that all that effort...

So much depends upon the way one enjoys the game ... I play with flipping off because I prefer things to be a bit more "realistic", despite the inherent anachronism and time relationship problems of Civ, and prefer conquest. Occupying, thus flipping, an undefended town is fine, but when it...

53 been playing games for 50 years ... I've played 'Civilization' since the mid 70's - mine is a pre-release of the boardgame from Hartland-Trefoil (1829 et.al) ... wrote a simple text based 'civ' game on my Atari 800 circa 1981 ... got all Civs & most similar type games on PC (shame CTP2...
