LK Planning Thread

lurker's comment: For consideration of future games, especially given the last few AW + 20k games you had, I think an LK culture SG would be really great. Frankly, I don't really understand how one can get three 50k cities without massive Great Artist spamming. An SG that explores the strategies of this challenging culture goal would be very valuable and entertaining.
 
The following tactics are PROHIBITED:

At the current time the game is to new to declare anything an exploit. At some point I expect for there too be a list of tactics not allowed in the LK series.



Standard LK house rules:
1) Automation of any kind is strongly discouraged until the game is known better.


2) Please load the game while running civ. If you load by clicking the game you rename the leader. The leader name becomes part of the save, so I want to keep LK### as the leader name. I don't want to defeat a very useful feature.
If you do accidentally load by double clicking the save, then please use the Alt-D feature for civ details and rename the leader by the LK### value.
 
Well I have learned another piece of MM nonsense that is gone. Free techs such as from the Oracle don't finish your current tech, but complete a new tech with 0 beakers. The timing game for free techs is gone. :)

Not necessarily. They don't always complete the tech. Sometimes it completes a good amount of beakers towards a tech. Which IMO is still really good.

Edit: Note: There are other instances besides just the Oracle that grant a tech or beakers towards it. I mistakenly thought you were talking about these instances, rather than just the Oracle.

I just finished my first Civ4 game and won with culture. I did end up doing Great Artist spamming for one of the three towns, but London and York obtained the 50k mark on its own without any Culture Bombs. And I know I didn't run as well as I could. I didn't put any into my culture slider until late and I didn't use religion well at all. I think when strategies are better understood it will be a very realistic win condition to meet.

And cultural assimilation in Civ4 is so much more fulfilling than Civ3 :)
 
Spiritual+Financial (that would be Mali) can generate some sick culture via cottage cheese+culture slider+multiple cathedrals (+50% culture each). My high so far is 1215 culture per turn by the mid-1900's, and that city used no great artists for either bombs or super specialists. The techs for doing this are available relatively early, so an 1800's or earlier culture win should be doable.
 
I would just like to register my interest in LK110 for when it rolls around :).
 
LK, can I book a hot seat fot your next game, I have Civ4 up and running and even though my computer isn't that great, it works so far (cross fingers)
 
The following tactics are PROHIBITED:

1) The diplomatic demand exploit. You can demand a ton of stuff from a civ, ask for a counter-offer and get everything you want.

HELP!
I saw something about running in windowed mode, and I can't find it again. With playing in SGs dealing with the current alt-tab speed is just to painful.

Take out a sheet of paper and record your turns there before transferring it to a post. I used to do that when my computer could barely handle Civ 3.

It's in the Civ4Config file.

not really a good way,
change the ini file in your folder (where the saves are located as well)
now change this:

; Allow Mouse Scrolling in Windowed mode
MouseScrolling = 1

(this is to enable scrolling with the mouse)

; Specify whether to play in fullscreen mode 0/1/ask
FullScreen = ask

(is you put ask everytime you start Civ4 it will ask you whether you want fullscreen or windowed mode)
 
Now taking signups for LK110.

I am sticking with random civs for now. I am uping the level to warlord +1 (noble?).

Signup requirements:
Civ4 *working* and have played some turns.
 
ok, LK if you take me I am in
