How to start Civilization IV?

Civilization IV was produced by Ferrahi Company, released by 2K GAMES Company, and the strategy and chess game represented by Beijing Zhongdian Boya Company in Chinese were released on June 25th, 2005. It continues the classic of the previous work and has a lot of innovative ways of playing. The following is the related content I brought about on how to play the opening of Civilization IV, hoping to help you.

First of all, let's abandon the old ideas left in Civilization 3, that is, "short-distance city joint venture" and "immigrant fast break". In Civilization IV, the most important thing is not the number of cities, but the quality of cities-the first few cities are particularly important. If there are not three units of resources near a city, or there is not enough food and working space for 10- 12 people, it should not be included in the first few cities.

At first, you have an immigrant and a soldier or boy scout.

Observe the nearby resources, and move in the direction of strategic resources if there are strategic resources in the field of vision; If you can see the sea, move to the seaside or two squares away from the coastline. Try to avoid rainforests and deserts. Rainforests can be cut down in the future, and deserts are useless. Nathan, the more discerning Lin Yue is, the better. In the future, it can be cut down and replaced with a lot of productivity, which is very important in the early stage.

Then, send the only combat unit out to explore the road.

It should be noted that forests, rainforests and mountains and rivers will consume all mobility (unless they have mountain warfare II or forest warfare II) and should be implemented in the last step. Tip for AI: You can have a combat unit wait next to resources near the enemy's border. After their first worker ant arrived, they immediately declared war, hijacked and fled, and it was difficult for AI to catch up. In the early days, one more worker was a great asset. Of course, this trick is ineffective in war ...)

Due to the ever-changing situation in the game, CIV4 also has many different openings. To be on the safe side, the opening I recommend is the opening of double warriors-workers-immigrants. The basic idea of this openness is to save three people and two combat units before further construction, and use these constructions to speed up the construction of colonists, while avoiding all the possibility of being washed away by barbarians/other players, which is basically applicable to most situations. Indeed, if workers or colonists come out first, the efficiency will be high, but at the cost of taking great risks-it will be fatal in multiplayer games that can't S/L.

If we want to be more cautious, we can consider taking the lead in developing bow and arrow technology and turning the initial combination into soldier-archer-worker-immigrant.

In this way, immigrants can safely reach the first settlement. Use workers to develop nearby resources and develop needed technologies. The following options can be considered in the early stage of science and technology: polytheism or meditation (limited to occult civilization or the beginning of stones/marble nearby); Science and technology needed for resource recovery; Domesticate animals; Bow and arrow; Masonry works; Pottery; Smelting copper; Smelting iron (multiplayer players can skip smelting iron and other people's inventions to grab iron).

When you get the first colonist, immediately observe the situation around you.

You can't have all the strategic resources, so consider them in the following order: stone >; Marble > horse > ivory >: iron >: copper. If there are other civilizations nearby, we can consider building the city further away to close its development direction. Second-and third-tier cities are very important, and they are the basis for developing the self-defense forces in the game. They must be built in places with sufficient food supply and resources. When we have a population of about six, we can start to make miracles (if it is not the leader of Cre, Stonehedge is an important miracle, so we must seize it), and we will enter the growth period.
