Civilization 4 Planning Thread

Clay; Will and I have decided to spare the people of Earth the fury of our iron fists and not conquer it (for now). Instead, we are going to play Civilization 4 by email and conquer an imaginary Earth instead. Woe to the imaginary people who stand in the path of our imaginary rise to imaginary power. Woe. Woe to their imaginary children and their imaginary livestock.

Anyhow.

Here’s what I suggest for game settings, Will:

  • Map type: Continents
  • Map size: Small (I think a bigger map would be a bigger game than we could play in a year)
  • Climate: Temperate
  • Sealevel: Medium
  • Starting Era: Ancient
  • Speed: I could go with either Epic or Normal for this. I’m leaning towards Normal, because Epic is a loooong game. Marathon is even more ridiculous.
  • Number of AI players: I think either 5 or 6 would be good.
  • Win by: Conquest, domination, cultural (I would take out Space Race and Diplomatic victories)
  • Additional options: I’d like Random AI Personalities

Whaddya think, Will? Respond with a comment in this post.

  1. Those parameters are fine. I’m having a problem with the graphics though. Nothing is detailed with graphic features. People are just shapes, no clothing, hair, etc…just shapes…gotta figure this out cuz it’s really pissing me off.

  4. Civilization is the greatest strategy game series ever. It is to nerds what vodka is to the Russians, what efficiency is to the Germans, and what eating microwaved testicles is to Jeffrey Dahmer: life itself.

  5. Clay, Fernando, I’ve gone through my settings a billion times. I’m starting to thing that it’s a hardware issue as to why features aren’t coming through in game play. I see the figures of people, but no facial features, colors or anything. I can still play the game to all of it’s functional aspects, but as of yet I’m annoyed with it because of the graphics issues.

  11. Nothing seems to be easier than seeing someone whom you can help but not helping.
    I suggest we start giving it a try. Give love to the ones that need it.
    God will appreciate it.

  13. Hi!

    I’m looking for a LDS online dating site. I haven’t been able to find many. I’ve found some christian dating sites,
    but I was wondering if there were any sites that were geared towards Later Day Saints religion. It’s hard to
    find a lot of other LDS online daters wanting to chat – at least, I haven’t been able to. Does anyone know of any?

    Like I said, I’ve tried some christian ones, but not really what I’m looking for. I really hope they’re out there!

    If not a dating site, perhaps any type of chat or group related to LDS.

    thanks!
