Let's play Civilization IV - 1

[run4life2]

How did you not get a black map?

[Seamy18]

I have civilization 4 complete, but I suck at it... Great fun though!

[Slipknotter8]

Anyone can tell me how do I use the helicopter?? I click on the enemy city to attack it with the helicopter, but nothing happens.

[TheMelnTeam]

@Slipknotter8 Gunships can't enter enemy cities, they can only kill units. They're the only unit I know of with that rule set.

[Slipknotter8]

@TheMelnTeam Oh, I see. Thank you!

[FarmerAwonderfulLife]

uh.because iam downloading this right now with torrent?

when you get civilization 4 you need to downloae expansion ? or its just in 1 pack?

if i download deluxe edition of the game does it have all the expansion of civilization 4?

[FarmerAwonderfulLife]

uh. hello is this civillization 4 : colonization?

[bfmvshinigami]

@FarmerAwonderfulLife No, this one is Civilization 4: Beyond the Sword.

[peacefulwar2]

@bfmvshinigami

Actually, he is playing Civilization 4:Warlords

[TheMelnTeam]

@peacefulwar2 Actually, it really is Beyond the Sword...

[thechaze098]

what is that? ftw so bad dam!

[NukeCorruption]

civ4 is the best multiplayer civilization i've ever played. civ2 is the best civilization of all series

[XeeGen]

As someone who has only played 1 complete game on settler this is very depressing xD

[Damon1j]

so slverys good is what he is saying

[GlaciousWeegeeus]

Love all the new map settings on civ 4, and i got a oasis next to a river at the south pole on a tundra hill next to my capital on fantasy setting.

O_o

[MetalGearRexPilot]

@GlaciousWeegeeus My friend had an aqueduct that went down a mountain through the ocean and into the town.

[ttquick69]

ive actually been friends with montezuma before

[streaklyern]

So civ 4 is the same fail as 3 and civ 5 is worse yet? how come they failed even harder every time when Alpha Centauri was perfect and came before civ 3, even SMAC's expansion sucked, who was it that made SMAC glorious only to be fired? if i had a team I'd definitly hire that guy.

[TheWriter0]

@streaklyern Just because you only played SMAC without expansion as a kid doesn't mean all games made after it fail.

[xXVGsUrViVaLXx]

HI

[wlrus1]

wow first ever youtube video 281,483 views

[zex95966]

I played settler level and lost... where is my achievement?

[jefferson1232757]

@zex95966 here it is (punch in the face)

[pkketchup]

how do u get this patch? pleaseee help me

[newyears912]

How i play: Sweet and helpful always giving in to demands, for the whole game.

...until i get ICBMs

[MasterProductions753]

I love to conquer the bitchy Isabella. She always says I am a "weak" civilization but I end up kicking her ass. Lol. I wish they put Hitler in this game

[DNOMYTE]

@MasterProductions753 I don't think Germany would ever want to be represented by him again. In fact they wish that period of time never happened. I don't think Hitler will ever be in a Civ Game.

[Shemy96]

congrats on getting oer 200k on your first vid

[Thomasmelo97PT]

On my cities i grab the soldier or make one...explore a little with him and then make a city out of him make another soldier on the capital and grow until ready to grow again : /

[djfinex]

It looks so primitive compared to CiV

[flameblader95]

Civ 1 FTW

[Rweston726]

Really, you hate Montezuma? I love him in one of my games. Hes one of my best ally's, were gifting each other technology to defeat Ramses. Hes very annoying!!! Everyone hates him, Gilgamesh will attack him from time to time but Saladin dislikes me. Im always sending spys to perform counter espionage. Wang Kon wont do anything. Montezuma is just owning Egypt. :D

[starcraftman1000]

@Rweston726 sort of how mine is going but randomly the greece ppl attacked montezuma and i say icbms flying all over

[TableTennis1231]

@Rweston726 Just wondering, what's your thoughts on Civ V? the other Civ games seem much more complex, spies and espionage?

[Rweston726]

@TableTennis1231 Its fantastic, Haha. what do You think of it?

[TableTennis1231]

@Rweston726 Well as far as i know its awesome, but i feel as if the game developers need to add to the game, maybe make it as complex as the other Civs, but i think Civ 5 (judging from what i've heard) has a better combat system than the other Civilization games.

[Rweston726]

@TableTennis1231 I agree. I would like them to add that combat system to Civ IV. Would be so much better!

[TableTennis1231]

@Rweston726 Yeah, i heard you can force religion and stuff on people. I wanna make the world Jewish as Germany... using Hitler >:D.

[ramsayjc01]

i love playing this game when i make teams. i make 3 teams with 4 people in each one its so fun

[GFedFan]

I can't hear you unless my volume is all the way up :(

If I were listening to anything else my ears might explode.

[rwarzor]

Montezuma: Let us slaughter 50,000 slaves in celebration

50 years later

Montezuma adopts slavery!

[SupposedToBeComedy]

i just watched a civ 5 let's play and it was awesome, and i heard that civ 4 fans didn't like civ 5 becouse it changed the game or something, so i am watching this to understand what was changed

[1TKDMom3]

lol the world builder is fun to use

[GeistvonWut]

After using enough ICBMs, there should be random Super Mutant spawns

[jalford312]

@GeistvonWut Super Mutants werent created throught radiation

[GeistvonWut]

@jalford312 Radiation was used. They needed massive amounts of it, too. Don't you remember the part in Fallout 3 where the super mutants were making more in Vault 87?

[jalford312]

@GeistvonWut That was F.E.V (Forced Evolutionary Virus)

[GeistvonWut]

@jalford312 Wooow... Nerd! :D

[jalford312]

@GeistvonWut I am not a nerd for knowing that but you're a newb for not knowing that if you have played Fallout 3 its common knowledge

[GeistvonWut]

@jalford312 There's also the fact that none of the characters really went into detail on what the FEV was... The only time I actually remember someone saying anything about it was when the Enclave leader gave you an altered version of it.

[jalford312]

@GeistvonWut Well there are terminals and such in Valut 87 if I remember right if not thre some where in the Captial Wasteland

[jalford312]

@GeistvonWut Super Mutants werent created through radiation

[VlaunBurtlecraft]

@GeistvonWut war... war never changes :P

[GeistvonWut]

@VlaunBurtlecraft LOL

[wiccanXexodus]

@GeistvonWut "your city was invaded by super mutants" WTF?? lol

[GeistvonWut]

@wiccanXexodus XD I'd be like "What the hell..." *world editor mode, spawn about 180 ICBMs, and launch them all similtaneously at the Super Mutants* "I had to make sure they were dead"

[Victorious12000]

@GeistvonWut super mutants? whats that? or is it just a joke? i just started playing a week ago...

[GeistvonWut]

@Victorious12000 It's a Fallout reference. Fallout is a series based in a post-apocalyptic world after a nuclear holocaust. And there are mutants known as super mutants, three times the size of a normal person.

[supatroopamariofail]

I like ciz 5 as an easier game, that and you can stack units and make armies. But civ 4 is my favorite cause of the music and the overall gameplay. Challenging but, fun. Well not challenging is you use world builder. Another thing I like about 5 is nukes destroy whole cities. That's always fun. Just makes you wonder where would the world be now of average people could take over and be the presidents or kings or queens.

[muhammad152]

wtf i dont get it and i realy wana play this.....

[TheEnlightenedOne69]

I love your voice something about it is really funny

[DontEscrowTaxes]

Just got a rando Monarch conquest win w/ Mansa the other day. It's easy to forget how OP the Ottomans really can be. Janissaries & Trebs = win

[umpisuoli87]

hmmm.. I would play totally differently, I would play with marathon time speed, terra map, and i would choose all civs randomly, at least enemies, there is no fun when you know what enemies you have.

Then also I would have founded a next city one tile to the right then you did, on the hill, better to defence. but i guess you founded it there because horses..

but monarch, it would be totally too hard for me. I still play warlord - noble difficult levels for myself.

[mssmjscss]

@umpisuoli87 Well, I'd play either Quot Capita (Mod) or Revolution DCM (Mod). The rest is often planned randomly, or randomly planned--either way, I enjoy it.

[chaospanda1234]

i remember the first time i played this game i was almost completely owned by isabella, shes mean :(

[stormlefty4life]

@chaospanda1234 I remember my first beer :P

[ChiaroscuroxX]

and I really enjoy civ 5.

[ChiaroscuroxX]

i don't know why but I have normal civ 4 and I have never really enjoyed it.

[TheErnani3]

i have a problem

when i build a city i have to wait 20 turns for me next settler

[CelomanZ]

ottoman empire = best empire of its time

[wowathena]

<3 bella,lizzy and katty, they look great :)

[MustNotRead]

when civ 2 came out, everyone said civ 1 was the best civ. when civ 3 came out, everyone said civ 2 was the best version. etc, etc.

[Pastshelfdate]

I don’t mind the partial screen, as a while back I noticed the button that allows the YouTube screen to go full-screen. I like your explanations. Thanks for opting to be instructive.

City on the isthmus: that’s great, as it’s effectively a canal between seas.

Thanks for the tip of checking Alexander for copper.

[phelan84]

one of my favourite games but it wont work anymore, this comes up when i try and install it again;

feature: Defaultfeature

componet: Civ4Componet

[phelan84]

@phelan84 may i say any help is appericated thanks

[210skillz]

@phelan84 reinstall it

[01NiCk01]

wow 207k views, that's awesome!

[Maetel22]

i play on noble just fine, but when i try prince i get slaughtered, why is this?

[KataLondon007]

noob why you say civ IV

[Zillygf]

@KataLondon007 What?

[BGDboy90]

ahahaha yeah everyone love Montezuma! Nice vid

[Murilo15]

is it possible to play it like Age of Empires, or is it always with this same view?

[itarethetroll]

@Murilo15 Do you mean an isometric view?

[Murilo15]

@itarethetroll nevermind man, bought it and saw that the units aren't really that big comparing to the sorroundings.... i mean now that i'm used to it

[Ryomha11251]

"Diplomatic and other things"

 Other things..... :O

[oddlyoko2000]

damm, you made a movie O.O

[OBSysteme]

I miss the abstract gloominess of Civ1.... these latest releases are too cartoony for me.... time to crack-up the old 486 for a game of the real deal :P

[Redtrooper2]

This game looks so much different than Alpha Centauri

[AVGNFAN917]

whats better civ 4 or civ 5?

[ElegyForTheMasses]

@AVGNFAN917 Civ 5 is a little better than 4, but Civ III is better than both, and Call to Power is the best ever

[Dkmasteris]

this looks a lot different than civ V

[DavidBizkit]

i have the game and i dont even know how to play it xD

[starfleetbrat]

I've never played before and watched this to try and get a feel for the game and how to play, but you didn't explain what you were doing, so I felt totally lost. :(

[Sucmiphatwang]

Thank you for posting your video and for your time ... Good job btw

[techguyr2]

Does Civ4 have a Cheat mode like Civ2 did ?

[IceCoolG4mes]

@techguyr2 during a game of civ4 if you cliked pause you see the worldbuilder. so give youself nukes in the ainchent era

[cheese89145]

I remember that ONE FUCKING TIME that a damn barbarian with a SWORD fucking killed my TANK ARMY!

[alanciux]

@cheese89145 LOL!

[MrSomebody54]

all right man!!

[everlife199]

I. ****ING. LOVE . THIS GAME. (except for the stupid barbarians)

[Doppe1ganger]

No raging barbarians makes me :(

they can get so epic.

[sawio5]

you didn't explain anything now did you

[micro657]

28 People missed the "Like" button :-)

[Fry123459]

@micro657

THE OTHER TWO MEANT IT

[Anymoredayz]

I play with the Greeks and have the largest empire and already conquered Japan and the Aztecs.

[mrxpibb]

It's so true. Montezuma can go to hell.

[Bhhsboy1]

civ 3 FTW

[Citylife10]

@Bhhsboy1 Yeah, but Catherine in Civ IV and V FTW.

[moebley12]

@Bhhsboy1 civ 3 FTW = For The Win?

[nguyenkhan202]

Isn't it obvious? The reason you doing this because you want to brag about your first new YOUtube video :P

[66jesko]

i played civ when i was high it was so intense

[blackpheonix200]

Thanks a lot mate :) really enjoyed this video.....helped me understand TBS (turn based strategy hehe) and im thinking of buying civ 4 and then maybe civ 5 hehe give me a responce and tell me a little bit in your opinon if its wort starting to play this game mate :)

[Finshade]

@blackpheonix200 Buy Civ 4. With Rise of Mankind: A New Dawn-mod it should be better than Civ 5.

[halflifeproductionz]

civilization is such a fucking BORING game!!

[Drathiron]

You didn't choose Montezuma as your enemy! Now i'm sad....

[ANCHORSaweighMYboys]

i always build a city across narrow straights, and put a fort in the middle. you have an army that can go ether way. and a choke point if your getting pushed off the maps.

[Itrytotestify]

Bad luck with your starting positions.

[tragamm]

u still play civ4

[adamrules01]

is this the newest one??? 

[lordyoshi01]

@adamrules01 So far, but Civ V is coming out on the 21st this month

[afghanowitos]

@adamrules01 nope the newest one is civilization 5

[zacharyberne]

@adamrules01 In the glorious words of the Engineer, 'Nope.'

Civilazation V(Five/5) comes out Tuesday September 21st. I pre ordered at gamestop and got the Cradle of Civilazation: Mediterrainian Map Pack.

Now that I think about it, I should've gotten the Cradle of Civilazation: Asian Map Pack which I could've got from pre ordering from Amazon.Com.

[AlaskaAce1996]

This is a great LP. I'm a new player and I always get destroyed whenever I go to war because I wait until I have Paratroopers and Navy Seals before building up my military.

[srry4beatinu]

good video. i never knew that isabella was a bitch.... lol, sarcasim

[raaspider]

the game is good but i feel it's impossible to win a domination victory and much less a conquest victory, playing legit i only win a point victory at 2050AD, building up an army and having it cross enemy borders and then finally attack a city takes too long and for some reason my tanks get killed of by enemy calvary no kidding, so i just avoid war and build pretty cities lol

[debakis]

How does the hammer bonus work?

[ragheneration]

whare du get the patch from?

[OMGitsFMA6666]

How did you get those icons to show up so you can see the copper?

[stupidnabgaywhoreass]

@OMGitsFMA6666

i think the option to enable them appears when you zoom out enough,

Icons will appear above the minimap and one of them lets you enable the resource icons.

[boapu]

How did your make your warriors move not on end turn and stuff my move one step then I click end turn and its slower how did you make?

[elpaisitadeoro]

I can't beat the PC even on a Settler difficulty mode.. I have read tons of guides, I actually do well and can double the PC's score but after a whie the cities become unhappy, unproductive and when it comes to war I cannot win. Sucks :(

Been watching your videos in addition to many others and i try to play similarly.. I still dont understand religions and GPP etc..need to practice more

Thanks for the vids

[boapu]

Which isn your favorite civilization and leader?Which do you play most often and you think is best to play woith?

[TheMelnTeam]

@aseglkj

My rookie videos had pretty bad quality, yes. More recent ones have a viable HD option.

[mechan9]

@TheMelnTeam Don't listen to him. I suck at Civ, always have, and I find these "let's play" videos of yours to be immensely helpful. Unfortunately I didn't find them soon enough as Civ V is due out next month!

[Thekeyisme63]

@TheMelnTeam What victories do you usually win? I know it depends, but lately I've been winning the domination victory.

[sekailover]

@TheMelnTeam are there ages in this game too like Empire Earth

[ericdisney1]

@TheMelnTeam WHAT COMPUTER SPECS DO YOU HAVE TO BE ABLE TO RUN THIS GAME SMOOTHLY?

[rade374]

iiuuuuuuuuuuuu

[PacoStaFe]

@aseglkj

hahahaha thats hilarious

[PilaAssassina]

@aseglkj Thats kinda hot

[nofollow]

@aseglkj

better than vuvuzela. lol

[Left4Epic]

@aseglkj Fap Fap Fap

[hobbes71002]

@aseglkj

You say that like it's a bad thing...

[Wubzy100]

penis is my passtime

[riznich]

this game is so good

[Anel972]

it was a great first vidio subed

[KingoftheFreaks]

In Civ IV Montezuma is hated while in Civ III Shaka is the hated leader.

[architecturalmind]

are the maps real world maps or made up ones? thanks

[stroypa]

@architecturalmind same here with me (just got civ4) i'm ok but still don't have a great understanding of the game cos it is sooo complicated, or maybe that's just me. so far i'v won a space race victory n a couple of time victories. but i suck quite bad at war especially later on in the game. anybaody have any tips?

[artydean2]

@stroypa also try to build a good navel fleet in water and spread to the islands :)

[stroypa]

@artydean2 thanks, can u also invade coastal towns with naval units or can u only do that with land based units?

[artydean2]

@stroypa well you can but its easyier to attack from land :)

[artydean2]

@architecturalmind look for the oil and coal and uranium later on and youll have an advbantage no one will attack you

[insaneweasel1]

I just got civ4, and it turns out I'm really good, even though I never played it before.

I just finished a game on settler, and I won a time victory, and the game said that I displayed the leadership abilities of Dan Quayle!

That must mean I'm aweseome at this game! He was one of the best VP's ever. His brain was as large as a potatoe :P

Anyway, I don't know if there is much I can improve on, but if you have tips, please respond or PM.

[artydean2]

@insaneweasel1 well thats because setteler is like piss its too easy bump it up 2 levels

[vssia]

Wow... I thought Civ. Rev. was the shit... now I feel left out. ;(

[Chrono331]

what software did you use to tape the game play

[TheMelnTeam]

@Chrono331

For my first couple video series, I used camstudio. After that I'm using the higher quality xfire to record.

[brickct123]

@TheMelnTeam I have always wondered. Why do people try to deal with the shithole that is fraps?

[minato12100]

@TheMelnTeam hey i got question i recently installed civilization 4 and the buildings take like 60 turns to build is that normal??

[MidgardEagle]

@Chrono331 FRAPS will cover your basic needs.

[Freedomman51]

you are pretty good i think i do

[YaYzIwInZ]

Montezuma ALWAYS declares war on me even if he is thousands of miles away.

[teethpuller200]

this should b ez its only monarch lol

[tagorsims]

have u got all them ido i found warlods hard to play it

[plasticnapoleon22]

how do you make it in the higher difficulty levels? i can do noble, but when i tried prince i got thrashed, floundering down at the bottom of the scores

[spideymanxiii]

@plasticnapoleon22 pfft that's nothing, I get my ass handed to me on noble. I FAIL :-/

[MrChezzys]

Thank you for posting this LP man

[pooluke41]

Eh, I hate Tribal Villages and Love Events...

[MegaLocken]

mehmet for win

[jackskellingtonsora]

Oh, so I am an extreme newcomer, so I'm having a lot of trouble with this game. I just would like to know, what are the different things that a worker can build and what do they do?

[Marco6543]

I get this and  expansions for 10 dolars at steam

[perra503]

@Marco6543 i got the civ 4 and all the expansions for 10 bucks

[doolittlesy1]

i gotta admit i prefer civilization 3 but this is still one of my favorite games ever its just so in depth

[JRCNhLproductions]

Can you put countries where you want in civ4?
