    I've been playing a lot of multiplayer, and decided I didn't want to be one of those guys who plays the same civ every time, and who has some sort of precise script I follow every time I play. So what I decided to do was to play every civ in multiplayer and to go through them all...

    Recipe for city conquest

    What oxonian said is correct. To elaborate on that point, If the enemy has 10 units defending the city, then its worth while for me to send in 4 catapults in direct attact to their deaths before I launch the final assault. What will happen is each cat will cause minor to light damage to all...

    Fluff, i'm at work, so i have not been able to explore resolving this further, but have you tried copying the file :Civ4/HUD/city_titlearrows.tga into the directory mentioned in the error report? I'm leaning towards this being an issue of directx getting corrupted. I can think of no other...
