Civ4

Use a laptop rather than the MacLab (the computers keep crashing during play).
 * TIPS:**

Sometimes it dosen't even start on the MacLab computers.

Use the same disc every time you play. Ask your teacher to take note of what number you have (and put it back in the right cover).

Use the same computer every time you play. Otherwise you can't find your saved game.

Use headphones from home if you want any sound.

Open it through Applications or the spotlight search (don't just open the disc).

Drag the Civ IV icon onto the desktop before opening.

Run through the tutorial first.

If you don't have a mouse remember that 'right click' is clicking whilst holding control or click with 2 fingers.

If your character (the settler) goes invisible click the little map icon on the bottom right task bar (it's the third from the left).

You can use the arrow keys to move around.

To zoom you can use the magnifying glass icon or use two fingers up (to zoom in) or down (to zoom out) on the touch pad.

Don't declare war until your military appears to be larger than your opponent.

To see how many soldiers/people on a block scroll over it and it will have a list of what they have there and if they have any upgrades.
