I wonder which game speed he is playing on, normal, quick or Epic? It goes pretty slow with the development, in Civ3 terms.

What I find really cool is that while loading a new game, the old theme from Civilization (1) is played.
Didn't get much further so far, but it seems the graphics do get in the way as I have feared (when zooming out you can't differentiate which unit belongs to whom, animations get in the way of moving units). |

The impression I'm getting from Sullla's walkthrough and Sirian/Sullla's Cuban isolationist SG is religion is the early research path. The new "growth is power" seems to be religion.

i'm pretty sure it's very flexible. I did just fine ignoring religon altogether at noble and emphasizing commerce and research, though not as well as them, but they have head start I have a feeling noble is too low, but I'll stick it out till the game is done as there's a ton of new concepts to learn/forget/etc

Correct, it is because the host he used simply couldn't handle the insane amount of traffic his website generated. A case of the walkthrough just being too popular, I suppose.

Yeah, it got up to 100 GB of traffic, and when he switched to a new host, that got 20 GBs in 12 hours!
Glad I read it when I did... |
