Hello new members!
As I remember that a thread like this helped me a lot when I stepped into the civ 3 mtdg, I've decided to start one up here. If you've got any questions, you can ask them here, and the rest of the team will try to help you get involved in the team.

And I'd like to welcome our first new member Ball Lightning

Which four threads would you recommend reading to get a feel for the game, the team, and other stuff.

What is the best unit???

hello,i have playedciv-3 and 4. just joined fanatics

New to fanatic and posting so I hope I am doing this right. I had IV for a while and finally did and update to 1.74.000. However the download did not complete and now I cannot find and get rid of it to revert to original version. Does anyone know where the download goes so I can remove it? I tried the windows search tool and cannot find it. I try to remove the entire game using add/remove program but I get the following error statement:

Error Code: -5004 : 0x80041f42

What does this mean and what can I do?

Hi, I'm new to Fanatics and new the Civ IV...played Civ II years ago and pretty much mastered it at the highest levels. Civ IV is so much more advanced and I will have to get ued to it...I am hopeful.

Here's my question, I noticed there is an Inflation cost when I look at the Finacial Advisor...it was pretty high. Is there a way to control or eliminate it.

Also, noticed on the Current Score List some icon next to each civ...what are they and what do they mean.game score box.

If anyone help I'd be greatful.

Hello all,
I am new to this forum and to Civ 5, at the age of 73 my wife fails to understand why I play the game but I learned long ago not to try to expalin to the ladies such matters. Anyway, take care all.
