People are happy because of "OH YEAH!" ????????

What's going on there then??? :P:w00t:

Strange Start Position

mongoose201 — Sun, 02 Mar 2008 16:10:54 GMT

Greetings all, was going to start a new game. (BTS 3.13)

Large Map (Islands) (1 per civ with many smaller)

Max civs (18) all random...

Ended up with the Vikings (lucky considering the map) with Hatshepsut as leader... And also came up with this as a start position:

I'm not going to play this one just yet, but I know some of you guys enjoy a challenge. So, if anyone wants a crack at it, I'm attaching the settings and save below.

If you do play it, post your results.

(I'm posting this in Screenshots instead of the Multi or GOTM because I thought it's an interesting start whether anyone decides to play or not)

Great Wall Great Shots

Some Great Wall Great Shots. Certainly the best part of the Civ IV improved graphics. In the first one in particular the wall looks impenetrable!

Power of Religions

Nuclearcow — Wed, 26 Sep 2007 20:19:18 GMT

I wrote in my user submitted guide ( [url]http://www.1bcciv.com/Topic2239973-82-1.aspx[/url] ) that I believe money is the key to consistantly excel in CIV IV.

I started a game on Prince difficultly level with the intention of founding 4 religions in my capital city before expanding. I figure if I expanded my cities before that, new religions would just expand to those cities, and I wanted them in my capital city, so I could stat-jack my wealth and eventually double it with the Wall Street civ. I've had this happen before where I was making 600+ gold in one city with a couple religions in it with their special buildings, but this one, I intentionally wanted to stat-jack gold and thought I'd stat-jack fully if I was going to try it.

I chose the Egyptians for not only their Spiritual trait, but largely for their Industrial trait as I would have to create wonders to spawn Great Prophets for those religions I would find. After founding my 4th religion in Thebes (thanks to The Oracle), I decided to try to find ALL of them. That didn't quite work out as other nations saw me as weak (and correctly so) and I ended up fighting 3 civs at once. I still founded a 5th religion in Thebes before expanding. The money I was already making came in handy to bribe people to fight my enemies and get them off my back.

Anyways, I ended up fighting a lot (5 military leaders in Thebes because of that) but I did end up doing quite well in the game (still in progress). I have all 5 special buildings and have spread my religions to probably over 90% of all the cities in the world and money is definately NOT a problem. Check out the money in Thebes I am currently making:

Note that my science is at 100%. I have been buying units, buildings, etc outright all over my nation and am down to 29K in reserve.

This game is still in progress, but I wanted to show it now, because I'm about to create a corporation there too, and wanted to show it with mostly money from religions.

I believe this more than adequately shows the power of religions in regards to wealth and this is on Prince level, so it wasn't necessarily easy.

Hope you enjoy! :)

For you Danes out there...

Apparatchik — Tue, 14 Nov 2006 10:48:34 GMT

Thought this was pretty cool. This is a "real earth" map so the peninsula on which Orleans is located is actually Denmark. Note the aqueduct spanning the Baltic over to Sweden.

I understand there is a bridge from Copenhagen over to Malmo, Sweden is there not? Maybe it's a tunnel...

Hide out

Bolan Longpants — Mon, 24 Sep 2007 05:21:17 GMT

In the current GOTM I stumbled upon a barb city in the 15th century. I guess it will take marines to take the city.

Hit point oddity

Nuclearcow — Wed, 29 Aug 2007 11:04:07 GMT

Good thing that archer still had 0.0 out of 3 hit points left, otherwise he might have died. :ermm:

On the Water part II

Nuclearcow — Thu, 23 Aug 2007 14:19:54 GMT

Graphical anomalies are amusing.

On the water

TORARADICAL — Wed, 04 Jul 2007 23:45:26 GMT

I captured this barb archer who I found standing on the sea.

My first score as Augustus Caesar!

ddmagnan — Thu, 22 Mar 2007 10:54:54 GMT

I have achieved Hammurabari and Abraham Lincoln a few times in the past, but for some reason I could never get the highest rank in Civ4. It has now come as a Space Race victory in the year 1569, Marathon game speed, Noble difficulty, Large map, 10 civs (9+me). I was playing as Deganawida of the Iroquois, from the Civ4 Gold mod. Usually I play Prince difficulty now days, but I wanted to try this mod which added a ton of civs and decided to play on Noble. On my desktop I also usually play on huge maps, with 18 civs, but unfortunately my laptop can't handle that. This combination of factors seems to have been what I needed to achieve that elusive rank!:D

The first attachment is the Rank screen. For some reason the leader head is messed up. Probably my poor laptop ran out of video memory. So I have attached a second screen shot showing Deganawida for those who are curious.

As you can see the mod makers mix bits and pieces of other leader heads to make all the leader heads of the new civs. There are a few missing pieces like the eyelids of Deganawida here. However overall it is a good mod. It adds something like 40+ civs to the game.

Can Barbs build Wonders?

GKhan — Wed, 18 Jan 2006 23:21:09 GMT

Barbs built it. It can happen.

It's not only hints you get in the loading screens

A city protected by neutral culture borders

mik1984 — Tue, 26 Sep 2006 06:08:26 GMT

If I will capture it, my units will get trapped inside. If I will raze it, my units will get thrown away to territories of tertiary importance to the south. I can't sign open borders, because the guy doesn't like me.

Shadow soldiers!

mik1984 — Wed, 20 Sep 2006 12:49:46 GMT

see I would also like to point out that me, mao, and genghis were the allies and tokugawa and caeser were axis we had 3 world wars and us(allies) and caeser had a conflict I called "the rome assault" if I had not payed tokugawa to stay out of the war it would have been WW4!!!

-intresting fact japan was an axis force in WWII

My Graphic Deficits

Locus Coeruleus — Sat, 08 Apr 2006 10:46:14 GMT

[URL=http://imageshack.us][IMG]http://img81.imageshack.us/img81/8678/messytext7vg.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

I got the game a couple of months ago, as I posted in another thread, and fearing the worst, that I would not be able to play the game at all, well I was wrong there but the image posted above seems to be about the only problems I've experienced. I can live with it. The blue "text" shows up as it is for all cities. This means that while scrolling over cities of my empire will reveal the name, I'm pretty much in the dark for AI cities, well, except for the capitals....
I'm pretty certain it has to do with my Graphics Card, which is a 64mb nVidia GeForce 2. It will be awhile before I could fathom shelling out 50 or more dollars for a new video card, and I'm not even sure which kind of graphics card I would need to get, but I am able to complete games and I do most like the game.

Cheers!

Odd Start

isufan2006 — Sat, 24 Dec 2005 21:57:58 GMT

Well I just found this an odd way to start. The part of my civ that wanted to settle down decided they liked the south side of strait. The group that wished to beat things with clubs decided they liked the north. Hopefully there is a conection between the two bits of land so that my warriors don't get abandoned on some deserted island.

The smallist Ocean I have ever seen

GKhan — Wed, 18 Jan 2006 23:18:32 GMT

So this has to be one of the smallist oceans anyone has seen. Notice the single Ocean square in the middle.

What's wrong with this picture?

Clay — Thu, 03 Nov 2005 21:49:58 GMT

About the 3rd time this happened I managed to get a screen shot. For those complaining about the graphics being a bit off...here you go :w00t:

My new Jesus Cavalry unit comes to the rescue:P

Flying Camera

Padapolis — Tue, 20 Dec 2005 14:47:11 GMT

I've recently learned of the flying camera mode and I thought I would share.

I had to add...
; Allow Camera Flying
AllowFlying = 1
... to my civilizationiv.ini file under [config].

Then in the game you press ctrl-f; then using the mouse, arrow keys, and mouse wheel you are off and flying around your world.

Here is a screenshot of my first flight:
