Let me start off by saying that I loved Civ2 and Civ3. I played a lot of both games, and althought I was excited about Civ4 I didnt think they would possibly be able to somehow make the game better, apart from less micromanagement and better graphics....but they did.
Anyway, pretty much the only thing I dont like now about Civ4 is that games simply DO NOT last long enough. On all my games where I get late in the game, it always seems to end prematurely, usually due to a Dip or Space Race Victory.
Do I just have bad luck, or is the game really not long enough? I just wish there was extra time to really have a modern war....
YA, I know you can play a custom game and turn off certain win conditions...but when you are playing a standard game, I think this might be a problem....that or I am just unlucky.
On a few of my games I have even avoided winning by a space race, but I either got pushed in to it because somebody else was building spaceship parts, or I would lose to it. =/
Last game I tried winning by Conquest or Domination, but it proved to be far too slow...well either that or I take too long.
I wasnt losing my wars, but they definetly took a long time.
Another game I tried going for a cultural, but ended up losing to the spaceship.
Does anybody out there regularly win by a different victory...on Noble or above difficulty at least? Conquest victories on Settler mode dont count
Or maybe do you at least lose to something like a Cultural victory?
Also I usually play on Standard or bigger world sizes...I imagine it is a lot easier to win a Conquest victory on say a Duel sized map =D
If so, do you have any advice for how you accomplished your victory?
