I've nearly finished my first game at emperor level and was looking for a few hints. However you don't have my version available in your tick boxes in the profiles. Civ AGA anybody?
O.K. so I'm a bit slow...

Good Day to all of you! Hope everyone has a good game and a pleasant life as well.
If you have any hint where to find Fall from Heaven II Multiplayer Games I'm not too sad, if you post that.
Thank you, till we meet again, goodbye

Hi fanatics!
Even though I spent countless hours playing the original Colonization during my childhood, I never heard of the Civilization series. When the new Colonization came out, I arrived to this site, and discovered the existence of the whole Civilization franchise. I'm currently addicted to Civilization IV and still learning the game. I've been reading the forums for a while but now I've decided to become a member to take part in the discussions and ask my own questions.

Evening all, just a quick hello to get me started on the forums.
I've been playing the various Civs right from the start and got all excited when I heard Civ 5 is out this year. Now for the obsessive waiting for release dates...
Mainly modding Civ 4 for my own amusement at the moment, seeing what I can do with the XML side of things. Too graphically inept to make anything that looks nice, but there's so much to tweak. I hope 5 still allows you to take the hood off and root around inside the nuts 'n' bolts.
Back to swearing frustratedly at the AI for building the Pyramids the turn before I was due to...

It was like that for me and Civ V
I started doing a regular Civ IV game on this gaming forum so I came here looking for tips and hints and instead find news of Civ V

Hey, hi, hello, how ya doin', hope you're enjoyin' the wine, took me eighty turns to get to monarchy, no joke.
Okay, maybe not eighty turns...
Anyway, yeah, I started playing Civilization with the Civilization II that was ported to the PSX, and constantly found myself stuck on lower difficulty levels. Note that, when I still had my PSX and Civ II, I was dealing with the mentality of a precocious ten-year-old who was way too into strategy games for his age. But, it's probably best to start early, have a good foundation, and end up doing well later in your life. To me, strategy games can have a lot of overlaps with real life, even if that seems like a farcical statement.
Fast forward a couple of years, I start playing Civ III, and it grips me for awhile, but it doesn't have the depth I need.
Now, just recently, I've picked up that crazy three-in-one box of Civilization IV and Colonization (and in PCDVD single disc, sweet!). So, since I've gotten back into Civ-mode, I've spent some time reading up on the game and strategies and all that jazz. Turns out, with all the time I've been spending playing my games, I have a whole lot to learn when it comes to playing the game, and playing it right. As a student of history, it's fun to be able to create anachronisms (for instance, communist America conquering the Zulu in 1650 A.D.) and yet have a leaning towards historical tendency with each culture, (yes, I will vassalize the world as Rome.)
Anyway, this is already too much. See you elsewhere in this crazy network of forums.

First post here.
I'm the absolute worst Civ4 Warlords player ever.

Just borrowed the game from my sister and now she is not having it back.
I stay in Port Elizabeth (South Africa) so hope some of U will be coming for the soccer world cup.
I play it on a Nintendo DS Light, will still find out what hardware is the best to play it on. I recon a computer, just because it has a bigger screen.

Hi,
I am new to this posting malarky and not that confident on computers. I have installed civ4 on my laptop (which has windows vista). It has installed well and i have added the latest patch as well as trawling these forums to find information. When i load the game it opens the first screen and then all different menus start flashing up and disappearing whilst the back ground stays the same - it is unplayable. I have tried altering the graphics and downloading the graphics softwear (says something about using version 9 not 10 - something i tried but didn't make any diffeence). I really dont know what else to try and cant find anything else to try. I dont undersatnd what the problem is - my laptop was bought in 2008 and this game is at least 3 years older so i assumed it meant it would be sufficient to play this.
Please could someone help me (i know i will probably have to provide more information but not sure what).
Thanks in advance.

Doesn't sound good... in the absence of any other evidence, I'd suspect a virus. I'd do a scan and/or backup and format of your computer before trying anything else. You could also try reinstalling the game, but from the sounds of things that isn't likely to help at the moment.
Bear in mind that this is just a guess, of course. Without more information it's difficult to know for certain what the issue is, but to me it certainly reeks of a virus.

Hi all,
I've been playing Civ games on and off for a while now, I've played pretty much all the versions excepting CivI, CivII and Civ Revolutions. I don't generally frequent game forums but I found this one whilst trying to get info on the upcoming Civilization V game.
I'm looking forward to the game's release date - I like what I've heard so far.
