Cyrus, you'll improve And by the way, you may want to play different civs, not just Rome and Russia. The more civs you play the better you'll become. You'll learn the advantages of the different traits, etc.

Strangely enough, if you have Warlords, Russia has all six traits locked up between the three leaders... most of the other civs with more than one leader share a trait between them.

If I could ask one more question, how do I take a screenshot?

[snoopy369]

Prtscr button. If you have screenshots enabled (in the .ini file) it will save a screenshot to the directory (in /my games/civ4/screenshots or /warlords/screenshots directory), and it will also copy the screenshot to the clipboard (for use in say the gimp or photoshop).

[Cyrus The Mike]

how do I enable the screenshot in the .ini file? and whats the Prtscr button?

[Cyrus The Mike]

oh wait, found that button. but what do I have to do to
#1 get into the .ini file
#2 change the file?

[Solver]

Find the AllowScreenshots line in the INI file. It should say

AllowScreenShots = 1

IIRC, that's actually the default, too.

[Cyrus The Mike]

so all i need to do to take a screen shot is to press the Prt Scr button? then what? how do I extract the image?

It'll be saved in your My Documents\My Games\Civilization IV\Screenshots folder.

Does it need to be resized before it can be uploaded?

I do images via paint - and they do need to be resized if you do it this way (prntscrn - then paste into paint).

Cyrus the Mike - the advice from Solver and PinchaK is sound. 6 workers at this stage is way too few.

Also I almost always go for one of the earlyish religions - the impact is excellent.

What kind of victory where you aiming for with this game? I find it advisable to have some idea from the beginning what style of victory I am after - and tailor my approach towards that.

[Cyrus The Mike]

thanks for the help. I can now upload screenshots when I need to.

and if you want to know, Nugog, only 2 of the workers were Russian. (and if you don't know waht that means think about it, I concored Arabia.)

[Nugog]

So you only built 2 workers ?

[Cyrus The Mike]

I took everyones advice and look...

[Cyrus The Mike]

sorry, I had to cut out that I won space race.

Nice!
