Hey everyone,
Im pretty new to this game and this forum. I play civ 4 BTS for a couple of months now and I tried hard to beat it on Noble.
I read a lot on the war academy and Strategy en Tips forum.
I tried hard to use all the tips I read on this website like
- use slavery
- micromanagement cities
- specialize cities
- try to have at least 6 cities by 1 AD.
- Try to have the good techs first like alpha, mathematics, currency etc
- build a lot cottages in the early game
- try to have enough food for cities to grow
- build cities on good places, with resources and food
But without any luck. Im still unable to win on Noble.
So ive decided to post a game of my and hope you can give me some constructive feedback.
I read that Huayna Capac, Willem van Oranje and Elizabeth are good leaders to start with for beginners. I played a lot with Capac and focused on wonders. But now I play only with Willem van Oranje from the Netherlands. The main reason for that is that im a dutch guy myself
Here are 2 saved games of mine.
The first is the starting position and the second is later on around 500-BC
In this game i lacked in military strenght. This was because i had The Great Wall and i was on a peninsula. I know that those are not good excuses.
I would like to have some constructive advice about my game.
- am i expanding to slow/fast?
- are the city locations good?
- are there things i lacked in micromanagement?
- are there enough cottages?
- Did i choose the right techs?
- Are there better ways to improve your economy?
At this point i am at the top of the scoring system. But later on in the game around 1000 AD i got surpassed
So i decided to post a saved game of around 500-BC.
