Let's Play Civilization IV - Immortal U 1

Hello everyone! I have a halfway OK machine again so I figured I'd do my 3rd LP. This is the newly-released immortal university game (I now host the series). It's an open game so anybody who wants can play it. The save can be found here:

You commented that you build a Worker first usually. Is that really recommended? I build 2-3 Warriors (grow to size 3 minimum) before I go for a Worker. This also gives me some time to explore and get some techs before I make some major decisions.

[TheMelnTeam]

Worker first dominates most starts.

Can you just have ONE world wonder in this game? Like, i build the Stonehenge, but i want the Pyramids too, then i cant build the Pyramids? :O

[TheMelnTeam]

It is possible to build every world wonder in the game, even in one city (generally not at high levels though).

It is also frequently a bad idea.

[arno789]

Why is it a bad idea? O:

[TheMelnTeam]

You undercut expansion and military potentially.

[Babrook]

Like Chess, it's not for everyone.

You should do DEITY mode on Civilization 5 :O

i did on the demo..

AND AFTER 100 TURNS EVERYONE HAD 400 points

while i had 40 -.-

[TheInvisibleNinja2]

hey check his vid out ha i usualy hate spammers and never do it but its a really good 1! and if u could please tell me how to make it better?

[IronwillNeo]

I dont know why but I think thats what I call annoying . . . well, sometimes when I attack one, just that one + another civ declare war on me, sometimes it look like the entire world against me . . . yet, thats what make a tech rush worth, or else u would just crush one by one.

[IronwillNeo]

well . . . first thing I do is a seetler, then I make a warrior then another seetler . . . the same with new cities until I reach some 15 to 20 cities, then I focus more on making 2 combat units before making a seetler . . . when thats no more area to place new cities I check my neighbors armies and see how worth it is to conquer one of them, or else I rush tech to crush them later (where game tend to throw every civs armies on me when I do that, what become a all VS 1 -.- )

[Yous111111]

Mehh, boring builders game, no wars, only one land-neighbour, no barbs, no challange (not you fault, dont get me wrong) This might be interesting for people who want to get a general idea of and tipps for civ managment but not for those that look for immortal and beyond gameplay strats.

[Pastshelfdate]

I love the tool tips! LOL

Wow – did your worker move 2 tiles in 1 turn? My one unit trick in Civ 3 is to edit workers to move 2; I miss the Engineers of Civ 2. Does any version of Civ 4 allow editing of workers (without creating instability in the game)?

Oh, and what is "Regenerate," and how does it generate gold?

[BarringtonDailey]

Can you explain why the start sucks so much? You have river (commerce, later levy), cows (awesome food and hammers), and 2 wines (even more commerce), you also have flood plain.

It's a lot better than a lot of starts I'm used to, do you use "regenerate" a lot to get gold? Do you recommend this at higher levels?

@Grind3269

Not much of a point imo. Just to get aruond quicker and link resources and trade routes. You don't NEED to build roads everywhere.

In Civ3, though, it used to give the space an extra commerce, so idk
