You might notice getting all world wonders you attempt to build, or founding many religions despite not even trying, as indicators for this. At levels below that, numbers so strongly favor the Human, that you can more or less roll your face on your keyboard and still win. That's why I think any new player (as soon as you grasp controls and such) should begin on at least Noble difficulty. On higher levels, "skill" more or less consists of counter-acting a huge AI handicap by being, well, human-smart. On lower levels, Human is strongly favored, and on higher levels vice versa. That means, raw bonuses to production, gold, etc. The way difficulty levels work in Civ is partly just a crude numerical handicap. So here are some things I think new players might find useful to know about: Civ 4 has a steep learning curve, and at least for myself, the game was very confusing at first. You must have patch 1.Hi, I've been playing Civ for a long time and thought I'd share some tips and tricks for getting into the game easier. Oh, and if anyone was wondering where the mysterious Mark V Tank, Biplane and WWI Infantry came from, this is what they're for. zip file into Civ 4's \Mods\ folder or your \CustomAssets\Mods\ folder.īe wary, this is a big map with lots of units, so prepare for it to be a bit slow if you don't have a new computer. (The above taken from the included readme) Thanks to Chris Sulzbach for his Unit models, Dorian Newcomb for unit animation, Justin Thomas for unit icons, Nolan for her leader flags, Rhye for his unit flags, the guys here at Firaxis and Take 2 for testing and everyone out there for playing. ![]() I hope to be right there continuing to produce more cutting-edge content. The number of people who will work on WWI scenarios and scenarios in general will snowball in the coming years. There are always things a designer would like to do better (there's no such things as a perfect production, they say) but it's good to reach a point where you're glad to show people the final outcome and have them enjoy playing. I had been planning on making this scenario for quite some time and I'm pleased with the way it has turned out. This has been my largest project so far, and it's also the one I'm most proud of. And certainly, it's just plain fun for those who enjoy military history and strategy to see if they can do better than Hindenburg and Ludendorff, or to avoid the collapse Russia suffered. As a history student 19th century Europe has been my primary focus and WWI essentially marks the conclusion to this period. WWII aside, WWI is an interesting conflict on its own merits. With WWI the major nations are already fighting with the minor ones coming in later in a way that can be easily modelled. WWII requires the conquest of Poland, northern Europe, France, the Balkans, North Africa and great battles in the USSR and against Britain - getting everything to come together in a realistic and fun manner is difficult to choreograph. And the joining of the war by all belligerents is much simpler to model. Technology, while advancing steadily forward didn't make the massive leaps and bounds as in WWII. World War I on the other hand suffers from fewer of these issues - almost all of the major participants and the only major theater can be easily depicted on a single map, using special rules to account for the USA. ![]() I have no doubt such a number of great WWII scenarios with a grand scope will be made but the variety of nations, the specific events that took place and the incredibly wide variety of technology makes it a daunting foe. In the end I chose WWI because a few other guys were working on a WWII in North Africa scenario and trying to encompass an entire theater like Europe or the Pacific is an incredibly complex and time-consuming undertaking. Whenever you ask people what scenarios they want for Civ the top two most requested are always the same - the World Wars. Can you tip the scales and change the fate of the world?Īhhhh yes, the big one. This scenario begins in August of 1914 with the opening shots firing and the outcome of the struggle very much in doubt. The battles took place primarily in Europe, between the "Central Powers" of Germany and Austria-Hungary, later joined by the Ottoman Empire and Bulgaria, and the "Triple Entente" or "Allied Powers" of Russia, France, the United Kingdom and later Italy and the United States. Its effects would change the shape of the world forever, as old empires were destroyed and new ones arose. Millions of lives were lost and billions of dollars of damage was done during the four-year conflagration. At its time, World War I (1914-1918), or the Great War as it was then called, was the most destructive conflict the world had ever seen.
