I have noticed something weird and annoying when playing the HOF mod. Whenever I restart, I have to reselect things like raging barbs, lock assets, choose religions and so on. On the Warlords mod, I did not have this.

Any way to stop this? I have not always had this problem, just recently.

Thanks.

Thanks.It sounds like your Civ4.ini file isn't being updated. Are you using Vista?

I have this 'problem' on XP Home too (BTS resets, Warlords doesn't). Don't remember if it worked properly before I noticed it.

How are you launching BTS and the HOF Mod?

You might try to manually set the options in the civ4.ini file.

Sorry for the late response...stag party weekend in Rio de Janeiro...:D

I am using XP. I generally load up the game and then the mod.

I don't know why it is loosing the options. I was wondering if it was a Vista thing but I guess not. I generally start Civ4 with a shortcut that starts the Mod but I wouldn't expect that to make a difference. (I have never been comfortable with double-clicking a save.)

I guess the question is: what is different? Has it always been that way or did something on your system change?

I was wondreing if it had to do with actually finishing a game reather than simply returning to the main menu when I got sick of regenerating the map or changed my mind about conditions.

I was playing the other day and when I left a game, it was storing my choices about choose religions, OCC, blah blah, yadda yadda. So, it seems to come and go.

I will keep my eye out for possible casues. Thanks.
