Sup, I've been playing civ 4 a couple of years now. I'm wondering if there are any good resources for intermediate players to get better?
I watch a few videos on YouTube and suchlike from people like henrik and absolutezero. Though these tend to be just watching a high level player rather than anything instructional
For reference i play on emperor on Quick (which i just found out from reading the forums is harder!) and generally win about half the time (or quit when in a winning position - i don't find finishing long, grinding wars particularly enjoyable)
Basically i'm decent at it but i have no idea how large parts of the game work. I always turn espionage off because it annoys me and I have never attempted a cultural victory, for example.
I'd like to understand the game more fully, optimise strategies in the middle game, and eventually progress to immortal/deity.
Also would love to try multiplayer some time - how does it work? How often are games? Dont mind getting my ass kicked at first. Only impediment is timezone & internet (i live in a van in New Zealand)
