Also, make plenty of marketplaces (more so than libraries, unless you need the culture), and also make open borders with at least a few AIs (more trade from trade routes this way).Ĥ.
20% of 1400 is more than 60% of 300, remember, and even if you're producing 'less' (20% of 800), the hammers make up for it. A winning Civ4 player will have a 20% tech rate at some point.
If you're keeping your tech rate above 60% the whole game, then a) is your problem. Most general mistakes are the following:ī) Not enough workers / worker improved plotsĬ) Not enough focus on commerce (particularly Currency)ģ. It's pretty easy to tell what you're doing right/wrong from thatĢ. Start a thread about a game you are playing, put screenshots and/or savegames in the thread every 50 turns or so. Or maybe one of you had a similar experience and can tell me how you got better? Any help would be appreciated.ġ. I was hoping some of you veterans of these boards could direct me to a general "I suck" type thread or guide that I can read through and hopefully I'll pick up on something that I've been doing wrong. I think I'm missing something basic here. Often I will do my first global map trade only to learn that one of the AI's has an impossible lead by territory and city count and I'll just throw in the towel. And if I try to do a slow steady expansion I end up boxed out by the other AI's early on so I'm hopelessly behind by the late game. I don't understand how the AI can get so many cities built and still stay up on tech and have a strong military - it seems whenever I try to make a lot (or conquer a lot) of cities I end up broke and with my science slider at 50% (or worse) to stay in the black. It doesn't seem to matter how fast or slow I expand, most of the AI's are well ahead of me by city count, score, military strength, and tech by 1200AD. On CIV III (which I played a lot) I could usually count on a win on Emperor and I have won on Deity before. I typically plat at Noble - I have attempted many games on Prince and constantly get trounced. I'll play for a while, get tromped by the AI and not understand what I did wrong - then get frustrated and stop playing for a few months. I have been playing it on and off since it came out - including the Warlords and BTS expansions and my game just doesn't seem to be improving. My name is fluffy_bunny and I suck at CIV IV
