I just started playing Civ 4 (my last turn based game was Star Trek: Birth of Federation which I loved).
I've a couple of questions...
1) Which is the fastest speed? Marathon, epic, normal, quick.
2) In your opinion, what is the best race/civilization to play as and why?
3) Is beyond the sword worth getting?
I also have a very powerful computer (quadcore, 8gigs ram, geforce 8600gt 256mb, 320gig hd) and running the game in the later stages with 10 computer opponents seems slow....it looks like when it comes time for the AI turns, it takes like 2-3 minutes. Is that normal? I'm using the largest map available.
