REX - An Essay

I wrote an essay on REX like I promised. It took a while to post it because I wrote it, then went on vacation then forgot about it. I'm going to let you guys pick over it, and if you find anything wrong, then I can revise it. It would then be nice if a moderator could make an essay section and put essays like this and Catt's Fundamentals of Mobiliz...

Most annoying civs to play against...
Visit/Download NOW
For me, it's those bloody Zulus... I'm playing a regent/continents/standard game, with 6 civs on my continent. English were at the top, I was below, Greece was below me, and Zulus and Romans at the bottom (Iriquois were to the left, at about the level of Greece, on a peninsula). Well, I took some early offensive action against England and took/raze...

Appropriate City Placement
by King of Rasslin
Visit/Download NOW
I see a lot of people placing their cities Civ 2 style. They want to use all 20 squares surrounding the city, including the one the city is placed on. I see many great games play this way, but those are exceptions. What is important now is that corruption will eat away at the power of those super cities as they are farther away. And this perfect pl...

10 steps for a successful builder strategy
by Hurricane
Visit/Download NOW
A builder strategy is, in fact, still possible under v1.17, but only on the lower difficulty levels (all except Emperor and Deity). I have used it successfully in two games, one on Regent and one on Monarch.
A successful builder strategy depends on having lots of cash for rush building (I never pop rush). How do you accumulate lots of cash when ...

Triple Threat - The Joys of Being a Bloodthirsty Barbarian
by Velociryx

Decided I’d take a bit to write about one of the civs that is, in my opinion, among the MOST fun to play.
The Aztecs.
Man…those guys are just insane.
A solid set of abilities…Militaristic and Religious, and a UU that never goes out of style.
You just can’t get any better than that.
So…what’s the big deal, you might ask? With a fast-...

The Care, Feeding, and Death of Neighboring Civs

I stand accused of being a psychotic warmonger. Well, while that part is true, heh heh, there is a method to my madness.
(This might ramble a bit...)
Before I started participating here, I lurked for a while, and was of course most impressed with Vel's Strategy threads.
As I've been experimenting with various aspects of the game, mostly ea...

Ultimate Power
by Arrian
Visit/Download NOW
For a while now, I have been seeking what I've termed the "Game of Ultimate Power." I have been seeking it on Monarch level (and will continue to seek it elsewhere), Standard Maps, Continents, 8 civs. I began this thread to discuss the game which I decided finally fit my definition of "Ultimate Power."
First, allow me to explain what I mean by...

Size DOES Matter!
by Velociryx
Visit/Download NOW
Probably one of the coolest things about writing strategy notes is coming up with eye-catching titles for them here on the forums....:D
Anyway, I'm in the thick of a mini-tourney game that illustrates a couple of key points about 4x games in general, and I thought I'd jot them down so I can keep them from rattling around in my head so much!
