The main problem in this game is that the random map script is only 'fair' and fun about half the time. All too often, you start off in a position that make victory either a foregone conclusion or a very slim possibility. This problem to me seems to be compounded at the higher difficulties. So in my ongoing efforts to relearn Civ4 BTS, I've been generating a few Noble Standard Size, Epic speed random-script maps with everyone in Old World and Pangaea, Fractal and Archipel turned off as options. Finally got one that strikes a nice balance: not super easy, not impossible. I know some of you are too good for such easy difficulties but you can just piss off if that it the case!  This one is Napoleon. About the only weird setting is that razing cities is turned off and Barbs on raging. I might had already founded Paris in the 4000 BC save . . . if so sorry.

I was minded to compare this site to a sort-of-private Facebook, but, on reflection, that's not right . . . Nope. Here is a forum to exchange views and discuss topics and maybe have some literary fun; post some interesting pics (not Megabits of family krap); flag up some internet sites of Interest; pass on the occasional joke. To me, (struggling for analogy here) it's bit more like a quiet and cosy pub with locals you know and the occasional visitor from "outside"; thick stone walls and a cellar full of well-kept ale. Facebook, on the other hand, is some awful massive city-centre club that serves Fosters lager. And, you know what? I am not unhappy with that analogy. I prefer the pub.
