Looks like I'm running in Administrator, but I'm not sure, because this is a Steam app. Once again, no biggie.

Pretty sure I'm running the correct 3.19-005 version (non-beta) - Just downloaded it form the HOF forum (http://hof.civfanatics.net/civ4/mod.php). I'm still convinced it's a Steam Issue.

EDIT: I should add I used the BUG not BUFFY mod i the past. I loaded BUFFY this time because it had a little more Win10 support. I see this image before I even get to the main Civ4 page. I haven't loaded BUFFY in 6 years, so I'm sure things changed. I did modify the CivIV.ini file to...

Major Tom - Thanks. I had forgotten about Locked Modified Assets. I flipped that flag, but the warning I'm getting is actually during the Civ4 load (the warning is a splash screen prior to even getting to the main Civ4 menu). I suspect this has something to do with a Steam setting or with...

Anyone know if there's a way to disable the popup HOF Mod Warning ("Submitted game will not be valid") for BUFFY-3.19.005? It's not something I care about - I'm probably getting it because I just bought a new laptop and installed from Steam into Win10. I'm willing to edit a file if someone can...

Just upgraded from a 2011 Win7 laptop to a modern Win10 laptop. I'd like to install Civ4+BTS+the BugMod. I have all the original install discs, but before I start a Bronze Age war with Sitting Bull, I'm looking for recommendations on best way to proceed. I started to install from CD, but...

I got 99 problems, but a nuke ain't one.

Cumulative (0.2+0.25+0.3) not compounded (1.2*1.25*1.3). Additionally, City Raider is subtracted from the defender. Example: City Raider 3 Sword has a +75%. City Garrison 1 Archer has +20% (ignoring all other bonuses) So the combat odds radio would be 6 / [3*(20%-75%)] = 4.44

I love that you have to defend the decision to build ironclads. Just shows you how useless they are in 99% of games. To answer your question though, the caravels have 3:6 strength against a privateer, which are pretty poor odds. A human player would say "ok, i'm gonna lose at a ratio of...

This was vanilla immortal BtS. I doubt Deity would be any different - Just bad code. Strangely, Booty had a second fleet of 30+ caravels in an open ocean port a few squares away. Bizarre behavior. I've seen the "many ships on an inland ocean" bug before, but to see so many ships in an open...

Boudica got out of control and I had to beat her down, but I couldn't figure out why she wouldn't capitulate (other than her vassal), then I came across this gem. Verlamion should be renamed Shackleton, because there are no less than 49 caravels trapped in the ice on this Pangaea map

I accidentally settled a Great General in a city (misclick). I went into World Builder, but I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to delete it. I ended up reloading, but I'd appreciate it if someone could tell me how to remove settled Great People from cities (if possible). Thanks in...

Figured as much. Immortal bonuses for the AI are pretty steep. Either way, I had Tokugawa at +30 Diplo which is a new record for me.

I recently found myself trying to win a culture game and needing to get Japan to friendly (Immortal Pangaea map). There was a massive ice sheet near Japan, so I started to create and gift cities. Out of shear curiosity, I ended up giving him 8 cities that had zero resources (pure ice)...

Good points. No tech is "useless" (except Divine Right), but many have a delayed benefit like fishing/sailing/religions. Follow-up questions that get more specific (I win on Immortal pretty regularly, so this is more refinement of skills rather than new skills). Is there an easy way to...
