    sometimes I like to play against the hot leaders.

    I pretend to take them over and make them part of my harem.

    yeah.

    Civ II was my favorite because I found a guide online that taught me how to make one city a science behemoth.

    I was able to play as far as king with this strategy. I thought I was pretty badass.

    I bought Civ III and Civ IV, but even combined I never played them as much as Civ II.

    My favourite part about Civ4 is that it takes some time for new cities to actually turn a profit, so city spamming doesn't work. Good city placement is more important than working every tile on the map.

    It is a very hard to notice tutorial, but one day I realized there is no way you are supposed to know how this game works by reading the civpedia as you play.

    then bam tutorial

    Play through the tutorial, dudes. It'll make a lot of things make sense.

    And maybe read some strategy articles here: http://www.civfanatics.com/civ4/strategy

    Actually, I don't remember much about the tutorial. I'll go play it right now!



    edit: Er, where IS the tutorial? Do you have to start Civ4 Vanilla to play the tutorial?

    I updated Beyond the Sword to the latest patch, but it doesn't look like Civ4 vanilla was updated.
    Which means I still need the disc to start it.
    The disc that is packed in some box with the rest of my stuff for when I'm moving tomorrow.

    Ok I'm downloading the latest patch for vanilla now.

    Rane: I think you have to start vanilla civ4, and then poke around in the menu a bit. Under advanced, maybe?

    Say, does the latest vanilla patch remove the cd check, or is that just for BtS?

    It might be a scenario, or god what was it.

    Theres a way to start a regular game and you can opt to play a "Learn as you play" type of game, something like that.

    Not a custom game, something go figure it out.

    hmmm i vaguely recall playing the tutorial maybe

    but they just did real barebones basics

    they didn't explain how to properly operate cities or whatever

    How to operate a city:

    If people are not starving or living in filth or mad about overpopulation: build things

    If people are living in filth: harbors, get more farms and that good shit.

    If people are bitching of overpopulation: It is crucial you are running a police state, atleast I think it is police state.

    When they get angry all you have to do is:

    Open the city management screen

    There is a button around the bottom right corner

    it says DRAFT

    Click that button

    Done.

    Adopt slavery and work people to death to finish buildings faster

    Just don't do it too often, let them finish being angry about it before you do it again

    This works well with cities with a lot of food, and you should have a granary too so you can regrow faster
