Arab trick

[Hangly Man]

So it's kinda true that Heraclius amassed his troops and lost at Yarmuk to Khalid ibn al-Walid (a great general that does occur in Civ4), but what if the Arabs went straight for Constantinople?

They'd run face-first into the walls and have to be scraped off with a snow shovel?

There's a good Constantinople never fell until gunpowder.

You know this strategy is normally called Canae or battle of encirclement and annihilation [mil.].

Sun Tsu said you should never ever surround an enemy. A surrounded force will fight twice as hard in order to break free from your trap.

pku_dwest, why do you play with that ugly font?

You can change the font? How?

Not to hijack the thread, but I would like to know that as well. After upgrading to Vista the font changed and I'd like it back.

The solution that worked for me was to change the value from 0 to 1 in the CivilizationIV.ini file of the following:

; Use managed interface textures (may be safer but shouldn't be needed, uses more memory)
GUIManagedTextures = 0

Since then, I've had no more dodgy font issues with Vista.
