My new Strategy

[obsolete]

I have this problem. Civ IV is giving the same problem as Civ III did, taking numerous hours out of my time each week/day that I really should use for other sources.

So my new strategy, is to only do ONE game a week at most. I don't know how i can pull this one off. If anyone can give me some more strategy TIPS in this area, then thanks.

I'll browse and post here, but I will try damn hard to only do 1 game a week. Keeping my fingers crossed.

P.S. Since I already played this week, that mean's i'll have to wait till monday next.

I've tried uninstalling civ and putting the discs on a high shelf..... didn't work.

Just play your next game at Settler level ( no just cottages, or just specialists,

or always or never whatever).

Best regards,

This isn't really a strategy discussion in the sense this forum is meant, but nevertheless I'll add my $0.20:

I used to play game after game, many a week, but I noticed my gameplay improved less than when I really concentrated on doing well in a game. So start agonizing and thinking really hard about your game.

Don't press "end turn", but instead click around in your cities and check specialists/tile assignments. Index your armies, see that they are where you want them and that they can respond to any perceived threats.

Perhaps even alt-tab out and browse the strategy forums to see if someone has discussed a game with a similar layout as yours/same goals.

That way your gameplay will improve, but the workload and stress of playing will also increase, thus leading to less "arbitrary Civving".

In short, more quality, less quantity

(I still think this thread ought to be in General Discussions)

Good strat. Another advantage is that you might play more carefully.

Sometimes I pretend it's a succession game, and I have to make a good difference to the situation in just 10 or 15 turns. After those 10 -15 turns I look at he save and analyze what I did right, not so good, bad.

7 days, that's about 50 turns a day. it sounds like a lot now, .
