A friend of mine suggested that I should try Civ4 and I got addicted immediately. I haven't played any civs before and it took a few games to learn enough of the game mechanics to play "properly". I started with warlords and as my 3rd game I won by points using n00ble continents map with Stalin. Back then I had all of my workers on auto and only picked the suggested producing options.
Then I started to play vanilla with Prince, started to read this forum and tried different tactics. Monarch is challenging enough now and I started to play BtS and there's a lot of new thingies I should work on.
I've read that early whipping is the key to beat harder levels but I still haven't figured out why it's so powerful and how it should be used to maximize the effect. Since I've been too lazy to figure it out on my own (it does take some time) I decided that I should register and ask for help. My initial thoughts on whipping are that it slows the growth of the city way too much to be powerful enough (obviously it is since you guys use it, I just can't see it) to be useful.
Anyways, Civ is a great game and this is a good forum and I want to thank you guys in advance!
