Sulla's Civilization IV Walkthrough

[eldar]

Ahh, but score is based on population and territory. So the bigger you are....

Sulla's walkthrough is so great that it has caused a number of new Civfanatics members.

Welcome to Turkishfan, Pablitor and tomcat885!

Hi

For everyone who's interested:

You can get Sullla's Walkthrough Part 7 as a PDF here:

The PDF was created by KingSponge, i'm just hosting it.

Happy reading!

The links are dead. Where can I read the first 6 parts??

Changing the threshold from 60% wouldn't be enough. If you raise it (the only way to keep it from precluding a Domination victory), it'd be even easier for a single aggressive civ to prevent anyone else from winning. If you lower it, it becomes easier for that single civ to win outright.

My choice would rather be to say that no one civ can ever hold more than 50% of the votes for any resolution and that in order to pass a resolution (or win a diplomatic victory as well being voted SG) requires the votes of at least two civs. That would prevent any civ from stealing en election as well as preventing any one civ from vetoing it as well.
(It would also mean that the UN is pretty much worthless when there are only two unfriendly civs left in the game which would also seem to make sense)

yeah, I didnt read it over the weekend. Where can parts 5 and 6 be found?

Update: Not surprisingly, the Walkthrough generated enough traffic to kill off my webshost's bandwidth, and so it had to come down. (Over 100GB of traffic in a week! You guys are monsters! ) Sirp has been a saint to put up with it for most of the past week.

I've had several offers of web hosting today (you guys are ALSO really kind! ) and I'm in the process of hearing back from some of them. Once I have a new site, I'll do my best to get the Walkthrough up and running again. So it may be a few days, but things should be up and running again at some point soon.

depending on size i could also mirror some parts of it too onto my webspace....even if its just 1 part or something.

You really need to know about http://www.coralcdn.org/

It handles these problems.

Unfortunately I only read the first one and have missed all the others.

Continuing with the UN discussion maybe one could say that if any one civ becomes too powerful or has waged too much war the UN tends to break down, it is after all a forum for discussing grievances and coming up with ways to organise peace, not for any one civ to dictate terms on the others.

Or maybe if you are a warmonger even your allies will refuse to vote for you. When you run around conquering nations you would hardly be trusted to unite the world in peaceful coexistance, not even by your close friends and allies. (Maybe that is why Hatty kept voting for Roosevelt)

That way warmongers would not be able to control the UN, they can rule the world with nukes instead.

Sulla, great job.
I hope you are well compensated by Firaxis or 2K Games. Your walkthrough definitely persuaded me to buy the game!

 

[Sullla]

laylowmay, although I was not paid by Firaxis for the Walkthrough, they have been extremely generous to me over the past few months (they invited me to the official release party last week, which was a total blast!)

GREAT NEWS regarding the Walkthrough: corwin90 has volunteered to give my website a new home! I can't express how much I owe him a debt of gratitude for this generous gesture. (Sirp, my previous webhost, has been amazingly helpful over the past three years as well - I feel bad for damaging his business with all the traffic I generated this past week).

Goal is to get the Walkthrough files transfered and back up TONIGHT on the new webhosting. I will post updated links when (if?) that takes place. Also in the news, KingSponge is putting together a downloadable PDF file of the Walkthrough so it can be viewed offline. Part Seven is the only one done so far (a link is above), but once I get the site back up and running again he plans to do the rest. I'll add links on the first page when they are complete. Thanks to KingSponge for helping out Civ fans!

Sulla, just wanted to say I really love your walk-through. It's clear and beautifully done!

Unfortunately, I only got into the first few pages before your site came down. I will keep checking and hope it goes up again! Even though I'm playing the game myself as of yesterday, I want to see more on what you have to say about it!

Question.

In screenshot 134 (the zoomed-in shot of Mecca) you are still at war with the dead Victoria and Gandhi). Does that give you war-weariness or other war-related things ? ?

 

[Snooters]

i'm getting a 403 error at the site now.

 

[Sullla]

Walkthrough is back up! The new address is at:

http://www.guybailey.com/sullla/civ4.html

First page has been edited to reflect this. (The links in my signature now also go to the proper place.)

 

[ShredZ]

Sweet! I guess you cant hear a 'thank you' too often, so... Thanx for the great walkthrough, its a real nice piece of eye-candy.

 

[phungus420]

Hey Sulla, any way you could show an 18 player epic game with raging barbarians. I'm curious to see how this game differs w/ the other one you just showed. Also if you do that, please choose a non spiritual civ. Thanks for your walkthrough, it was very helpfull.
