Civilization IV Victory: Conquest

[INEEDZALL]

Was that a Hitler statue they took down?

[mrshorty13579]

@INEEDZALL LOL... no it looked like a statue of Stalin..but It could be made up too though

[Kemonokami]

VICTORY IS OURS...

...As soon as we figure out what the little horsey does.

[karke3221]

we nuked the city but somehow some russians killed stalin. WTF?!?

[IToe4Kids]

They should make an fps out of this ending, it'd Civillion times better than Call of Duty or Battlefield. :)

[OsamaBinLooney]

this song plays in my head when i play chess

but then my opponents ask me to stop making the explosion sound effects when i take pieces

[NiGHTSRealaJackleFan]

1: Start new game with no other civilizations

2: Wait 3-10 turns later

3: ???

4: Profit

[A1an232]

eso del ajedrez se lo copiaron a Age of Empire II

[Banzay27]

They're tearing down the statue of what you would immediately see as a representation of a military dictator, a tyrant, but the winners are the ones nuking a city. Typical.

[laalalolspop]

[ 0:10 ] How come no Civilization Hater flagged this video because of the similarities of this scene and 9/11? Oh yeah, because there are NO civ haters at all :D

[IcyBlade3003]

@laalalolspop

1. You can't flag it for that

2. Its a missile, not a plane

3. Just because something hits a big buildning, doesn't mean it looks like 9/11

[djouvlav]

I'VE WON ONE OF THESE ON EMPEROR!!(with the world builder...)

[TheSonny99]

I chose to force everyone to become my vassal and I won this

[newyears912]

@TheSonny99 Haha me too, i felt like a GOD

[Glass11]

at 0:18 it should have been a spearman kill the tank instead.

[TheGod0071]

i have won like 10 times a conquest victory and i will show u how.

1st, when u "spawn" in the beginning, 4000 BC, go to main menu

2nd, go to world builder.

3d, create modern armors or any tipe of units everywhere.

4th. find other civilizations.

5th declare war on them an crush them with tanks

6th delete the tanks and enjoy peace.

but beware of barbarian tribes that will attack u after that

[cake89]

this is a copy of the age of empires 2 intro, and it's not done as well either

[Srythian]

@cake89 Wuhhh...medieval vs. modern, intro vs. victory video, aside from the chess metaphor (and frankly, it's quite stupid to think that AOE2 was the first game or that their designers were the first people to figure out that there was a metaphor between chess and war), they're nothing alike.

[Pepihoh]

reminds me of the Age of empires II intro...

[tristan602843]

i got counqest victory with the incas at about 2780 B.C. !!!!!!!!!!

[nikikddd]

Anyone else hate when someone builds the U.N. then quickly gets ICBMs banned

[SirLadette]

Civilization 4, brought to you by Michael Bay.

[codebreaker1983]

@SirLadette Michael Bay:NEXT WERE GONNA HAVE FULLY LOADED SEMI OIL TANKER BURST THROUGH BUILDING IN FLAMES LIKES BURGGHHH KERCHUNK!!!!!

[logicpwnsemotion]

My first victory :D

[fishontuesday]

My civ4 disc 1 is broken the disc is completely clean theres this 1 little but deep scratch... It's the only fault u can see on the disc and it renders my game unusable... :( I tried that stupid torrent shit and it's fucking impossible to understand how to make that shit work!

[halranger]

@fishontuesday lol

[GeneralSturnn]

I've never been able to win this victory, I usually play on continents and while I own my continent by the time we reach Modern age, I can never conquer the other continent, mostly because I cannot move my vast legions at once.

[DoomSprite236]

0:15 never in my life have I seen a pawn take a knight

[TheVoiceOfReason93]

Utter Pwnage! 

[Dragan572]

That was one hell of a chess game

[BigWilki123321]

I also forgot to mention I owned most of south america and most of australia.

[BigWilki123321]

I still dont understand why they didnt include UN resolutions in Civ 5, in Civ 4 you could build nukes before anyone else and then get them banned if you were clever enough, so no one else could build them (kinda like whats happened in real life). Plus the AI capitulates far too easily, I capitulated the whole of europe and half of asia, aswell as most of africa, while being England. China always wins the game on the harder levels, they vassal/capitulate everyone, and russia is always aggressive

[Valstion]

Stalin fall down :D

[Treknobabble]

My preferred method of winning

[helpermethod]

It is impossible to achieve this type of victory, because you will win a domination victory before.

[chankljp]

@helpermethod

It is possible to get if you:

(1) Turn domination victory off.

(2) Defeat your enemies fast enough before most of the world is settled.

[LinkMarioSamus]

@chankljp 3) Raze your opponents' cities instead of capturing them.

4) Force everyone to capitulate to you.

[RixPixable]

@chankljp Incorrect. It is possible to get if you:

(1) Play as the Byzantines.

(2) Play as the Byzantines.

[dragonmekill]

@chankljp Or just blow up cities instead of taking them...

[apocalypse105]

@chankljp

Or burn donw all the cities

[DeliciousPoop]

@chankljp 3. raise cities instead of capturing them as you destroy civilizations

[DeliciousPoop]

@DeliciousPoop *raze

[MichelangeBro]

@chankljp Or, if you raze the majority of the cities you capture.

[samuelwiranto]

@helpermethod

Well,I also heard that you can achieve this victory by having all other civilization as your vassal.Well, i guess this way is easier than taking all of their city.

[Adnan1176]

@helpermethod it is possible if you just raze the cities of your enemies instead of installing a new governor. I have been playing civ 4 for 3 years =)

[avw94]

@helpermethod You can also capitulate every A.I.

[asomeman1223]

@helpermethod

Hey i have one question....how do you combine units in the game?I have 3 of the same type of units and im trying to combine them

[vitorfray]

@helpermethod It ain`t hard at all! Just make sure u have more advanced military techs, build offensive troops in every single city, then raze every enemy city! (instead of capturing them!)

Mt tactics, I usually build an heroic epic and west point in my most productive city, and start building tons of tanks in it.

When great generals are born, i get them to join the city. Last time I played, this city of mine produced one modern armor every 1.5 turns, they came out with 27 points of xp each!

[Srythian]

@helpermethod You also could do nothing but raze.

[malinmuzheng]

@helpermethod

A third way to get conquest victory is to raze every city that you've conquered and leave the world unsettled.

[PModlin]

@helpermethod

(Alternately, get Warlords, make a 2-player or 2-team game, and make the other a Vassel State.)

[noradosmith]

@helpermethod

i just achived it because the last state to become my vassal was quite large

[apocalypse105]

@helpermethod

Burn donw cities so its no territory

[WoldulphiusXXIV]

@helpermethod I just did it

:D

[mrlol0123456789]

@helpermethod I did it in my first game. The tutorial...

[thatsgerman1]

@helpermethod if you just capture the capitals, isnt that domination as well?

[samuelwiranto]

Attack now!

[Fail] Uggh....

'Load saved game'

Now Attack!

[Fail again] God damm it....

'Load saved game'

Now !!Attack them or you're fired!

[Win] YEAH FINALLY!!!!

Thumbs up if you also do this

[0Jass]

@samuelwiranto haha lool used to tbh

[ubentu]

@samuelwiranto No way.

I take losses. I love being defeated.. It makes it actually feel like war.. Not a track meet.

[endorphinvidmaker]

Lol i wonder what happens if a bishop attacks a knight....oh god

[Stargate404]

well after all that hard work that cutscene was. . . it just was . . . so. . . SHITTY!

[Scythemeup]

didn't white take black's queen?

[samuelwiranto]

You need luck to get this victory.The last time I played this game ,my gunship was destroyed by knight, the combat odd system never failed to surprise me.

[MEonly123654]

@samuelwiranto same actually my Chopper got killed by a Swordsman omg!

[fodzorz]

at first i thought you only needed the % population OR the land area, so i started nuking everyone to get the population %, all I can say is that it didn't go well.

[Jmerino7]

When i first got this cutscene, I was doing this MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA­AHHA, bow down bitches.

[xycaptivation]

It was the rook taking the bishop which probably put the king into checkmate.

[TheSpurs825]

is that guy lelouch vi britannia or something

[cdmaster35]

chess its some serious shit

[Samsasrenjet]

I remember beating my enemy with tribal units, and this cinematic showed. So unfitting :p

[khen4815162342]

reminds me of age of empires 2 intro

[olstar18]

@khen4815162342 I wouldn't really compare the two. Aoe2 intro had a lot more emotion to it and personaly I loved watching it.

[RebornMaster3691]

is beyond the sword the best expansion from all civ 4 exp?

[xXKyledkXx]

@RebornMaster3691 YES, and the only one you need, just get civ4 and BTS and your set for life, it beats civ3 and civ5.

[DaxterD1]

I felt so... evil when I first won this XD

[MrRileyI777]

@DaxterD1  Me too. ^_^

[timlightning]

stolen from age of empire 2

[juhotheonehanded]

i always win with domination,conquest or time victory.only space race victory is what i dont have.

[penguindiverz]

@juhotheonehanded diplomatic? that one is a bitch to get

[juhotheonehanded]

@penguindiverz i know but i want every type of victories

[XxRokusasuxX]

Conquest... How fun... The only way I won, that or domination...  >:)

[dreadfulpizza12]

@XxRokusasuxX same here

[Arandelix]

0:25 This dictator looks like Vladimir Lenin.

[Neon1691]

so they are trying to say that blacks will always win... I can live with that :)

[zionravescene]

Chess: Serious Business.

[ghazalyman]

is this meant to represent the Iraq war because that statue getting pulled down reminds me of Saddam Hussein's statue in Baghdad getting pulled down.

[ghazalyman]

is this meant to represent the iraq war because that statue getting pulled down reminds me of Saddam Hussein's statue in Baghdad getting pulled down.

[Pikazilla]

Isn't this what we did to Iraq

or is it a message about the future?

[Dilz424]

VICOTRAH TO TEH GRETUST NATSHUN OF TEHM ALLZ!

[EverithingNormalhere]

YEAH!! WOOO!!!

[Dkmasteris]

i can't imagine me winning in other means than conquest

[Crawlingify]

@Dkmasteris than you`re completly different than me...i always win by space race and Time :/

At overruning the world i`m a complete noob ;/

[Rider339]

@Crawlingify Same with me although it's mainly by time. I once got conquest victory in civ 3 by making the map smaller and only having like 3 or 4 races. I'm gonna try a similar sort of thing in civ 4 and see if that works.

[Kriegsmarine0]

You've seen it here folks a Rook attacking a Bishop translates to a Nuke

[GFedFan]

@Kriegsmarine0 That was a king.

[Kriegsmarine0]

@GFedFan

0:18 is a rook moving straight ahead to attack a bishop. I play chess mate...

[Bunnokazooie]

@Kriegsmarine0 I think that was the queen

[Kriegsmarine0]

@Bunnokazooie

Are you fucking retarded or just making retarded jokes

[PyroDesu]

@Kriegsmarine0 I do believe that was the king piece, the camera angle making it look like a bishop.

[Kriegsmarine0]

@PyroDesu

if it were a king piece the game would've ended right there, but there's one move left after that one resulting in checkmate.

sorry if I sounded douchey

[PyroDesu]

@Kriegsmarine0 The other move you think there was isn't there. There are 2 "Battle movies" for the king peice, a nuke and the statue toppling.

[Kriegsmarine0]

@PyroDesu

look at the differences in body for the king and bishop, now look at the end move of the game and the nuke move.

Now going off real chess normally you don't have another move after checkmate.

[PyroDesu]

@Kriegsmarine0 There was no difference as far as I could see between the piece that was taken by the rook (nuke move) and the king. as for the "end move of the game", it doesn't show a move, only the king piece falling. Now, it COULD have been the rook taking a bishop, causing checkmate, but there was not another move after the nuke move. Either way, the nuke move resulted in the checkmate, not another move after that.

[Sybbyl1]

@Kriegsmarine0 Actually, that is a Castle attacking the Bishop

[Kriegsmarine0]

@Sybbyl1

Chess 101:

Castle=Rook

Horse=Knight

pointy thing with the cross on it=Bishop

it's not that hard

[Scythemeup]

@Kriegsmarine0 the pointy thing with a cross is the king

[Indeciferable]

@Sybbyl1 You sir, are an idiot.

[Sybbyl1]

@Indeciferable Yes, perhaps I was incorrect in not knowing what Rook meant, I thought Rook meant Pawn, so yes, I was wrong? But your comment leads me to beleive you have a very low tolerance level, so hey? does the fact i was wrong about the tiniest thing really matter? Think about that ;)

[FriarLawrence3]

@chankljp

True, but the civilization games aren't exactly meant to be uber realistic. I mean, You can build the pyramids in London! Besides, whats the alternative? Either having excruciatingly long games, or having it so the computer could wipe you out in one turn, with no prior warning as you don't have time to react to an attack.

[EilLie94]

so copyed Age Of Empires2

[SegadorSevero]

@EilLie94 hahaha, yeah. I didnt realise that, the aoe2 intro is exactly the same style as this.

[Idiotsbrother]

Its offical

Chess will ruin the world

[Hodak55]

@Idiotsbrother :D

[kahetel13]

@chankljp gosh i just read that whole comment of yours on the math for the game its quite retarded but, its much like the budget planning and rate of improvements in NY so nope i wont buy because ill shoot my computer if it puts me thru the same thing i put up with in real life:)

[HowlingWolf518]

Ten bucks says somebody cries "Reverse-racist!"

[superstition2]

Oh, wow. Vaporizing cities is so much fun! I have no morality whatsoever!

[trivipesnipe]

@superstition2 Pussy. It's a game.

[YouCantQuitWoW]

@chankljp then play on marathon lol its like one year at a time

[munggipossu]

i liked these videos more than fucking pictures in civ 5

[ImpossibleWays]

0:09 I feel sorry for these people.

[deektedrgg]

@chankljp Civilisation isn't meant to be serious you know...

[Foolfyer]

reminds me of age of empires 2

[Bren4Blox]

@Jakezing

Not really. You can have a war that will take 4,000 Years If you do it well

[hateifly]

i really wish that they would have shown short clips of destruction in the game during war, like for ex., when invading an ancient city with archers,caravels,swordsmen,cat­apults, ex, cant we see the battle being fought? like in the movie at the beggining of the game? or in a ww2 style bombing, cant we see some footage of that? or the nuclear explosion? can we see the seabattles? the game would have been a whole more epic that way, and maybe more indepth and realistic.

[ekszentrik]

@chankljp

And what ridiculous amount of turns exactly should researching a single technology then take if a turn should equal to a week? You are looking for a (WWII) war simulator; try Hearts if Iron.

[stonewindimmortal]

@ekszentrik Hearts of Iron 3 is horrible

[ekszentrik]

@stonewindimmortal

If you think this then play Hearts of Iron 2.

[isaiah123112]

0:22 srsley again bush?

[cliffhanger11414]

Checkmate bitch!

[exsodea]

to those guys playing chess its a all out war well mean while thats happening on a nother planet lol

[FlamingSwordPro]

This chess game in the trailer is stolen from Age Of Empires 2 Trailer!

[ralverdo]

Statue of Stain or Hitler at 0:25

[iOnlySignIn]

@chankljp There are various WW2 mods where each turn is a week/fortnight. I am very surprised that you haven't heard of them. The entire Civ series is famous for its extensive mods, official and fan made. IMO it's the best part of the game.

[Nikifuj908]

The Hsung-Nu are not barbarians! What the help!?

[Denito525]

@chankljp It wasn't much of a counterattack, it was more like they took out the attackers, and then Nuked their city.

[ScaredPiglet]

@chankljp  It's actually 1 day for units and between 1 to 50 years time for each turn. It is quite retarded. Play a real strategy game like Kharkov: Disaster on the Donets. Civ IV just makes your brain die.

[ScaredPiglet]

That was rather cliche and dull. How do you losers feel seeing this rubbish after you wasted 100+ hours finishing a boring game of Civ IV?

[LuisRC91]

@chankljp i know what you mean, if you ever played on Quick, supposedly it takes 35 years for a troop to be ready :/ so annoying

[moksheebs]

@MASergeant13 yep... at least there's no defeat scene (i've checked mine) where a dying soldier blames us for his inability to stop a phalanx with tanks...

"It's your fault...you let us"--AH SHADDUP!!

[Scythemeup]

u could use world builder

[MetalChanel5of10]

@chankljp

All civilization types of games have just the year by year turn or sometimes more to pass per turn...While in series/franchises of Space Empires you got like one turn is 0.1 year so its great and realistic especialy in Space Empires V(5)...

Also it got complicated technology tree but it lacks of balance :P

[crwnv]

to anyone who would bother to read this and answer - how do you beat the CPU's beyond monarch?? i win 3/5 games at this level, but i really need to put all i've got into it, and i can't touch them beyond this... they simply have too many things going for them... anyone, how do you do ti??

[redadamxp]

in 0:25 the are destroying the statue of Lenin! :'(

[caseyboy97]

@redadamxp looks like hitler to me

[moksheebs]

@redadamxp THAT'S NOT LENIN?! that's just a typical enemy leader...

[redadamxp]

I know he isn't Lenin, But his arms and hat are like Lenin's arm, and hat...

[moksheebs]

@redadamxp LOL my friend also got Lenin's arm and hat... does that mean he's Lenin?

[teslagod2003]

@Jakezing you'll be doing alot of sieging if a city is well garrisoned and fortified.a fortified infantry could beat a modern tank.specially when it's on a hill,or worse a city on a hill.here comes your numbers,coz you'll have to endure your loses and just kill off the fortified infantries.you may wanna pillage,but if your thinking of it,why not just nuke it,it's faster and more devastating...

[teslagod2003]

@Jakezing well,i think there's no way you can pull off a bliztkrieg in civ4.you'll muchly want numbers on your side,that is tech with numbers,not just simply numbers alone or high tech alone....

to achieve this,you probably want to be either expansive or aggressive,i muchly like being aggressive...

and also wanting to have more wonders than your rivals,having an industrious leader helps you alot on wonders...

wonders are huge key for achieving victory...

[estranhopolis]

I love Civ 4, this game is epic, and this is the coolest "movie" at all :P

[SondaroSasuke]

Anyone else remembered the Age of Empires II intro??

[epicfail290]

I WANT TO LEARN HOW TO USE PYTHON FOR CIV 4 PROGRAMMING.I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO FOR MONTHS.LEARN AT LEAST.I DONT KNOW ANY PROGRAMMIN LANGUAGE BUT I AM WILLING TO LEARN.CAN SOMEONE HELP ME?

[hablamaniac]

I can never seem to get this one. Whenever I attack an opponent, I take over his city. I always get Domination

And yeah, I know, I can turn that off in custom game. Don't know why I haven't tried that

[Agent1W]

@chankljp Check this...old ass Musketeers can damage MODERN ARMOR. Or how Barbarians can actually kill modern Infantry.

The combat mechanics were by far the most ridiculous!

[teslagod2003]

@Agent1W that's why you cant really simply rely on higher tech,you need numbers,too...

i had 1 some times that my modern tank were humiliated by a less teched army,such as a cav or spearmen,but i dont really like attcaking with just 1 tank,i mostly bring about 10 or more tanks to attack a city,in some cases,i'm grouping about 20 or 30 tanks for an attack...

but dont just rely on numbers,also rely on the balance of your army,you may have a 100 tanks but 10 artillery can hammer them to weakness

[Agent1W]

@teslagod2003 You'd probably have spearmen in the tens of thousands to overcome a modern armor tank division, because some spearmen would overspill and get on top of the tank cabin and kill the crew.

Which is unrealistic because nobody was really able to field that many at once.

[teslagod2003]

@Agent1W well that tank i lost was when i sent 1 tank to take out a city on a hill with just 3 spearmen garrisoned on it,i killed the 1st and the 2nd,then i'm planning to kill the last on the next turn,but on the next turn,the 3rd spearman killed my tank,when i tried to kill him.really frustrating,so i sent a horde of 10 tanks,2 mobile artillery,6 mech infantry and 4 chopper.i sometimes overreact when i get frustrated,which makes me send more than i should,even makes me use more than 1 ICBM...

[Agent1W]

@teslagod2003 It's worth overreacting because it is bullshit! The 'Guerrilla' unit is the weakest unit that should ever come close to damaging units like that.

[teslagod2003]

@Agent1W there's no guerilla unit,it's a promotion or rank of a unit.you may wanna look at ww2,when the mighty british and allied troops had alot of problem fighting at the jungle.even the most advanced tank would have a real problem assauting a gurrillas at the jungle or at the mountains/hills.even you try with air assaults,you wont hit them directly.

you should also check on vietnam war,US has a real problem fighting the viet-congs,until they were forced to pull out of vietnam by US congress.

[Agent1W]

@teslagod2003 Sorry, I was thinking of Civ 3 there(that game has the most ridiculous combat system).

The right weapons and tactics would make a lot of sense in actually defeating modern units. Not spears, axes, swords, or even the early firearms.

[teslagod2003]

@Agent1W well,it's still possible though,in mountains/hills/jungles/forest­s,primitive weapons are still dangerous.specially on those places.close combat will be more likely and with better cover for those who knows how to position theirselves and their traps well.

[Agent1W]

@teslagod2003 Well, hell! We got flame throwers! Like how flame throwers were used in both World Wars to kill those entrenched in cover and for psychological effect.

A barbarian's animal skins and uber strong fighting spirit is certain to fail!Smoke 'em out!

[teslagod2003]

@Agent1W flamethrowers?are there any flamethrower in civ?if you'll be as heartless as using the flamethrowers,then it's no diffirent in using nukes to annihilate a well fortified and defended position.

as well as in reality,flamethrower is ok for the trenches,but using it to burn down trees have a very negative response on many sectors.flamethrowers were not really used to burn fdown trees,they were sent to burn the foritification,not the trees.

thus,it's still very hard to assault guerrillas.

[teslagod2003]

@Agent1W give me 1 real situation when an army indeed burned(or bombed) alot of trees,to eliminate the cover and protection?

you're just being childish not to know for a certain fact that guerrillas are really hard to fight,you'll need special training to combat them,not just the flamethower thing.even today,guerrilas tend to take cover from jungles/forests/mountains/hill­s,knowing no army will indeed be heartless enough to burn down so many trees...

[Agent1W]

@teslagod2003 I thought you were talking about the archaic units.

The real situation of defoliating and burning down trees was Vietnam, of course. Napalm, Agent Orange, w/e such. Doing what it took to flush out the hiding guerrillas. But like I originally said, the guerrilla from Civ 3 should be the only unit capable of damaging modern units.

[GhostInTheShell29]

@teslagod2003 A major issue in Afghanistan is insurgents hiding in marijuana fields. Since marijuana absorbs.. or is it reflects IR light really well.. either way our technology has a hard time seeing through it. And we've tried burning it... but then theres other issues...

Also as agent said Vietnam. WWII, Korean war. really going back to ancient times, removing trees was a good defensive strategy for castles and ect.

[sirrington]

I think they have copied Age of Empires 2 or 1

[Kamil55459]

@sirrington in AOE2 or 1 they didn't have nukes or tanks...but still in the AOE2 intro they are playing chess then you see people doing something on each turn

[djtrain0495]

Wow, who lets their Knight be captured by a Pawn?

[myaw3somerand0mness]

@ LordYoshi01 I know right.

[defend4ever]

Is there any way to stop global warming in this game?

[QcnARF]

@defend4ever

If you don't build coal plants or launch nuclear missiles, global warming is rarely an issue.

[defend4ever]

@QcnARF Coals plants too ermm....I still get global warming even though i dont lauch those useless weapons..

[teslagod2003]

@defend4ever i sometimes love launching those nukes,ICBMs,bwahahaha...

there are times i dont care if what the other civs thinks,i just care about what my civ can and would do,i like being aggressive,as it can get you many city as well as resources,and fear for other civs.i sometimes bully the weak by asking them to give some or all of their golds,and they cant do anything,coz they fear me,hehehe...

there's also 1 time,i nuked every city of that civ that pissed me,coz he dont fear me,lol...

[lordyoshi01]

I can't help but remember my first victory when watching this, when I was laughing as I was using tanks and battleships while my enemies were using cannons and musketmen.

[Soalric]

I need help. I am trying to spread a religion to a rival city, but it says "cannot spread non-state religion to this city. It IS my state religion though, and I founded it! Why won't it spread?
