Is there any way to not move past an era? So like, you could be in medievel forever.

Medieval II: Total war from SEGA. ;)

Maybe there's a mod for certain areas in that forum, I don't imagine that you could make Civ IV stay in one era during a normal game and if you stopped researching I figure you wouldn't last too long.

So really I don't know, but if you're looking for a mod maybe there's one?

Or you could always play AOE II. However I'm sure there's is a mod somewhere. Just look!

+1 I loved that game! Then 3 came out and killed the series.

Easy! Just turn your science slider to 0% and and destroy all of your cottages and fire all your scientists and artists and spies. Don't build Universities, libaries monasteries and the University of Sankore. Don't trade or steal techs. Ignore Goody Huts. :)



Well that won't keep you from advancing but you will progress very very slowly. ;)

You could always do some editing to set some well chosen techs to be very expensive, thus not allowing research to go beyond that point. I think there's some mod doing this as well but I don't remember the name.

There are mods out there that disable techs for all players. If you want to play an entire game with axeman, now you can. There's probably more, but here are a few:

Once you find technologies to fit the era, you can go to Assets\XML\Technologies\CIV4TechInfos.xml and change <bDisable>0</bDisable> to <bDisable>1</bDisable>.

You should backup the file first, though.

This change means that one nation will get any new technologies.
