It is impossible to be a citizen if you don't make an effort to understand the most basic activities of your government. It is very difficult to thrive in an increasingly competitive world if you're a nation of doods.

Did you have to try several times to get it that close or did you just think if you didnt make it you would replay it ?

I actually would have enjoyed reading about a defeat in the face of imminent victory.

Haha I just figured Id blow some stuff up. I didnt realise that within 15 turns of declaring war I would be at risk of complete annihilation (they came in soo fast and soo hard and we had soo few defences). I was tossing up whether or not to restart should I have actually been wiped out. Luckily I didnt have to make that choice lol.

This whole thread has been pretty entertaining, and congratulations on creating a climactic end out of a space race victory. One question though, was Utrecht the capital? I remember in Civ2, if your capital was taken while your spaceship was out, it would return to earth. Is that no longer the case in Civ4?

Has anyone ever actually managed that? I swear, every time I try to do it I always either end up so far ahead in tech that I can get the Space Race condition before Cultural.

A cultural victory generally requires you to stop research after a certain point in the game and use your culture slider instead. Its risky because you tend to fall very far behind in military tech, leaving you open to attack.

Utrecth was not the capital. Ive never heard of the spaceship returning so im assuming not. If Utretch was the capital, the capital city would have just shifted to another city anyway.

Utrecht was our super awesome floodplains city.

In BtS (unlike original Civ4 and Warlords), your spaceship is lost if you lose the city that currently holds your Palace (i.e, your capital). That was cutting it close there!! Thank god the AI don't realize that and beeline for your cap!

Cultural Victory is when you dont have enough land to keep up in Tech / Domination / Space race, but you have a few strong cities. (science is global, culture is city-based)

Cultural is one of the fastest way of winning other than an Early AP win. I am an Emperor loser (wins about 20-30%, I never reload unless a unit control bug) and monarch winner (wins about 90%) and most of my wins from emperor are cultural, and most of them are in the 1700-1800s (normal difficulty has 500 turns in total, so 1800s is like under turn 270-about 320ish.), and plus I am not even very good at doing culture.

You want at least 6-9 cities to do culture( Well you want 6 cities to do pretty much anything), and about 2 religions 1 will probably be a bit slow. Your 3 legendary cities are going to be your cottages capital and 1 other good cottages city and your GP farm. Assuming you have 6 cities, I usually build 2 50% religion building in each of the cottage cities, and I build the hermitage building in the GP farm, and the cities will get other culture buildings like library theater etc. Get to liberalism asap pick nationalism. Revolt free speech and pacifism and caste, and no more research 100% culture slider, sell all your happiness resources for gold per turn and trade techs for gold to keep culture slider up. Your GP farm should pop about 10-12 GA before you win. All your other non legendary cities will be farming artists as well. When you have enough artist culture bomb them all and win ~1700, or maybe 1900s if you are new to culture on a slow map, or maybe you are one of those godly deity players that wins in ~1400s or lower lol, obviously on normal speed). Also keep in mind you want to get sisteen's chapel, and also drafting is made for weak culture players to defend war declarations.


edit: playing a succession culture game would not be very interesting to watch and report about. It be us pressing end turn from ~1000s to the turn we have enough artists to win lol.

Wow, that was pretty epic. I'm glad I read through all that. Makes me wish I had a Civ game to play.

Seems like Civ V will have better multiplayer options thro steam.

Anyone feels like grouping up and playing a 10 hour game when it launches ? =o

Thing is, steam frequently drops, loses connection, etc.. even when your internet connection is up. All the more reason why I wont be buying Civ5 because its ONLY going to be through steam.
