I've had a bit of time to play lately. I've just advanced to "Warlord" difficulty, and am fighting my way through "Noble" difficulty slowly (I've never been a good player, though I love it. I'm a Wonder junkie.) Louis XIV of America is a great combo, Industrious, Creative, and Navy Seals. Does anyone else play this game? |

Yeah, Civ4 is awesome, and Beyond the Sword is an excellent expansion pack. I'm not that good, but I still love playing it. |

Life is all about perspective... It all depends on where you stand, who you stand next to, and whether or not that plump fellow in the front row is blocking your view. | |

Well, I just increased the game to "Marathon" speed, and at that speed, I'm wondering why I ever thought "Noble" hard. |

How long do things take in Marathon? I've never played on slow speeds. |

To play a full marathon game is long. A regular civ4:bts game is 500 turns. At the 500 turn mark in marathon, I had just researched "construction", and that was completely out-teching all other civs at noble. I was doing so well I just quit that game because a victory was certain unless I did something absolutely dumb. Also, the balance is not done proper, taking the game length in ratio to normal, there is about a 50% production bonus. I've heard "epic" is the best balanced, though I haven't tried it myself. Edit: Does anyone want to play-by-email? Edited by Bigfoot, Thu Nov 26, 2009 4:47 am.

Sounds like great idea. You might want to create a new topic for E-mail games, though. But still, I'm interested. |

Sure I'll get a different topic up sometime. What difficulty and map settings does everyone play at? |

I usually play on the continents map. I don't know about the others, though. |

I've been playing on Hemispheres lately, a bunch of continents and a bunch of islands. Epic speed is definitely the best, the most "Civ" like. Very well balanced. My regular difficulty is now "Prince", I'm getting a lot better. |
