civ. post

My attempt at success this week was marked with, yet again, more failure. However, I learned more about the civ. 4 game, and developed a few strategy that have made success seem closer than ever before.

I began my civilization accordingly, building units and warriors, and focusing on getting my barraks arranged in order to ensure firm defense.Whilst building my defense, a little blurb popped up about religion. I than decided to switch my strategy from pure defense, to a more culturally centered attempt. I built my original city around my culture and religion. This city would later come to be dedicated my "holy city".

My workers and settlers were of importance to me this attempt. I made my worker, after doing many other tasks, go out and build some fields and pastures near my original city. This helped its growth emensely, and I move some settler to another region within my state to build another city.

I forgot to mention that I was playing as England during this attempt. At one point in time, a scout from neighboring Egypt stopped by my area, wherein I was brought into contact with Victoria. Here she offered me peace, and there was no other option but to accept.

I had two cities at this point. However, I have so much trouble being consistent with: A)keeping my citizens happy. B)having enough money to finance certain things, like building barracks and other things. C) Organizing my defense- which ties into having enough money.

My civ. was rather successful this time, however I could not "win" because I ran out of money. Maybe next time my attempt will result in success.
