Thank you Tommynt and Ellestar for yours contributions ...
I beat the challenge that tommynt proposed me yesterday, was very funny and not so infuriating so the game that i played before. ;D I think that i will try Deity dificult.
I know that the best way to train to MP Ladder, it´s play MP ladders, but at this moment i have a restricted net conection, and i cant access to the Lobby ...
I think that I will try it Ellestar´s propose too, in SP..
Play without raging barbs is a relief!! (i still have nightmares defending vs 20 archers and 15 warriors before 2500 BC)
Greetings ;D

Here's a question I haven't been able to figure out the answer to:
When playing SP, I see the message come up that "So-and-so is the first to circumnavigate the globe". What does one get for this feat? I'm guessing maybe a Great Person but I'm not sure.
Anyone know?
YOU GET +1 MOVEMENT FOR ALL SHIPS

Hi people ... I was reading a lot of posts, questions, tactics the last month .. I readed too, that MP skills are usefull in SP games, but i have found a big challenge here... I would like begin to play MP games, but i think that i would not remain to much . So i proposed myself , play a specifical SP (high dificult) balanced game to training my skill. I can beat Inmortal dificult if i play with the knowed SP Tricks, but I proposed myself play without that MP unuseful tricks, but i cant. xP I have gotten many ideas from Ladder players forums, and i would like to know, how can beat IA without take advantage tricks of SP game. ;D Ok, my question? Can it beat IA SP games like Human MP games? That its my configuration IA SP Game ... (only for training): Type :Balanced Size: Standard Dificult: Inmortal 7 Players Random players chose (me too) Ragings Barbs (to training early choke) IA Agressive (to training Ladder Games) Random personalities Im only get survive, but i cant beat vs 7 ... Playing like they are human mp gamers... Someone can to prove it? Thank you ... (forgive you my poor english) ^_^ ;D I would say the best training for MP game would be these settings: Player vs 2 or 3 AI opponents Always war No barbs Noble dificulty Aggess random personalities If you want a larger game, take a few AI on your team and for every one you do, add 1.5 to 2 to the opposing AI team.

first strike is a free round of combat. if u win it u score damahge to ur opponent. if u lose it u receive no damage. as the cavs have the same power, i gues it's 50-50 whether u lose this round. it would be intersting to know the % chance of victory when a firststrike cav hits a vanilla cav

lol
nah. surely. u must be the most unlucky guy, if they are attacking u and winning. if they are fortified on forested, hilltops and u r attacking them, it's a little more plausible.

I will try this challenge too. But after i beat in inmortal the Ellestar - Tommynt challenge, i m finding a lot of problems with the Deity dificult. God!! Motherfuc ... The AI, they growth very very fast, i can to bear her unit´s hordes, but i can growth so fast ... And more the AI win too many combats with 80% - 90% ratio. Bloody hell!!! Its already enough dificult, to bear vs AI early bonus, no more tricks ..... Ok my question: im sorry i m annoy .... Fuc.. AI Ok .... finally: my doubt The AI combine Horse´s Archers with Swordsmans ... and vs this i combine Elefhant with axemans (everyones correctly promotions) .... Why the clashes arent favourable to me?? ... I explain this : I cant to do that my axeman (con 35% promotions vs melee) fight vs the Swordman, and my elefhant fight with the horse´s archer ... What happend here? I had problems too, with my axeman - spears vs AI horse´archer vs archer ... Always it s assign me the worst clash (less ratio) ... No more today ... the last ... Always war is a very dificult to hunter work ... i can to do pillage too long ... Wawww my english is each day worst, someone prefer Deutsch or Spanish ^_^ Greetings

And you're attacker here.

Hi people ... Whats up? Definitely, i cant beat any challenge in Deity ... My got its madness!!! i think that Inmortal is my limit, and so, its really really hard to beat; but Deity?? Wtf!! .... Its impossible for me. I have tried a lot of ways to early (that was very educational ), defend with rights and exact units, win very high combat ratio, correct promotions, growth early .... Pick resources early, bronze, horses, .... Good timing .... Early dagger, scouting, kill scoutin, hidden, choke, .... Everything!! But definitely ... Its impossible for me beat Deity ... and i play with small map, fuc .... If i need about 30 turns to arrive IA zone, its impossible to make dagger, or choke or , steal workers ... She not need it, has everything worked and 4 cities (BLooodyy Hell !! ) In this time a still walking with my 2º settler ... Ok , only wrote a cuople linies to show my frustration .. Ok, i remained in Inmortal .. I will try more diferents and randoms play and settings. Thank you to C4P community, I had improved very much... I hope find funny moment this summer in Civ4 Ladders games and the Lobby ... (i know much better civ4 now, but i continue thinking that my ass will be kicked to the most of the C4P players, but my ass is very stubborn ;D) ... See you PD: Deity IA is a "Mitosis" virus from the Hell

Who can tell me exactly how line of sight works. Or point me in the direction of a forum that does.
E.g. I only just found out that a unit on a hill with a forest next to it will not see beyone that forest tile.
Also i don't get what you see beyone cultural boundaries. Sometimes you see 2 squares, sometimes one. Do you just see those squares over which you have some cultural influence?
etc etc
Thx

I was wondering what the command is to move all units of the same type in a stack, ie cavs.

I don't know exact rules but you may just check your saves and look how sight is calculated in a different situations. IMHO it's the easiest way.

Yep. But I am lazy and I was hoping someone else would do the work for me. But thank you Ellestar the point about water is interesting, I though I'd noticed this. so when u have a boat it is as though it is on a hill. I guess the thing I want to know most is at what point someone can see ur stack outside his borders.
