You were replying to someone else, but I'd like to thank you for your reply also. Your reply gave me hope that it should work. I went back & reinstalled Orbis from scratch again with the file at the beginning of this thread & ran the patch and it works. Apparently before I had run the patch...

I have a similar problem Broktor. In my case I finished the first two scenarios, but the third one is still locked. Now, no matter what scenarios I try to pick, the Momus starting map comes up. I didn't try loading it through the World Builder as described by some, as I'm not sure how that works.

Darn. Sorry, no other suggestions from me.

Is he behind a router? if so: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=146735

I found this useful, worked for my Linksys BEFSR41. (easier than looking for the manual) Port Forwarding Civilization IV on the Linksys WRT54GP2 I was only able to enter the first 10 number ranges on the list. Apparently that's a limit on my router. Also helpful, enter: cmd on the Start|Run...

Perhaps try the latest patch 1.22 ? http://www.civ3.com/support.cfm

This is an old post, but a counterexample to this was demonstrated the other night. 3 of us tried to play Civ4 BTS, two of us behind routers. I just had to buy a new router, so no ports open. The other guy hasn't opened any ports. The player without a router hosted. One of us could join the...

I started a few MP games with a friend for the first time. (TCP-IP) We kept selecting the turn timer to be disabled, but it was still there! We had simultaneous moves selected, that may be the reason. Are we doing something wrong, or is that the way it is? With Civ4 we don't have this problem.

Thanks! I know I'm gonna get killed, but can't wait to start.

Thanks, I was wondering about that myself.

Thanks for everyone's posts. I usually don't do very well on the GOMs, but still trying to learn. Now trying to figure out the BtS changes/implications. People's clues I've read here have really helped. In this one the game crashed (as these GOMs often do for me) and I forgot to reload from the...

Maybe there was a road outside the controlled area, so he could move 2?

Oh, that sounds good! I never thought it would be so easy, as you seem to indicate. (I'm pretty noobish, even though i've been playing this game for a long time, still lots to learn) edited to add, i've learned much from reading post here, thanks everyone. I should read more but prefer...

Ouch. To anyone: Do all of these game's of the month not have tribal villages? Seems like last month's had 'em? Is there any way to know before you start exploring?

Wow. (0.75)^^9 pretty slim chance of happening. Enough to make me think "maybe" the odds aren't really 25%. in my case i noticed axemen with the melee promotion against axemen without it (75% or so i think), I've had bad luck, but I didn't lose 9 in a row. Editied to add: used calculator, not...
