I am 61 years old, had a bad accident about 13 years ago, had my left wrist totally fused and my spine L-4 & L-5 had to be trimmed up from the violent collision. I can play games with just my right hand. I would LOVE to be able to purchase the game Circle Tower Defense for offline play. Is this...

I got for Christmas, really enjoyable! Few changes but overall still great game! I am just getting into modding and maps are still great! I love being able to pick data set to add to a normal map or scenario. Like 35 or so different Civs!! Gramps!

Has anyone played this yet? I am a big time fan of the series, still make scenarios and play AOE II: The Conquerors expansion pack. Curious if anyone has tried this? https://store.steampowered.com/app/813780/Age_of_Empires_II_Definitive_Edition/

I was wondering, I havent played the original Guild Wars in years, could I reinstall and then simply start over? 2) Would I need to continue where I left off? 3) Was the "World" we played in part of the game or was it an online game only (I havenet played in a long time but wanted to give it a...

I had to install CTP on an older machine, does anyone remember the settings for increasing amount of goods found? I am talking say 7-9 per city radius, had it working fine then laptop dies so restarting tweaking files. This is for strictly scenario making for my pleasure. I run MP and do...

Ok, here is what I ended up doing: 1) Hit the "Tilde" button (opening chat window) 2) then type in game.toggledebugmode 3) hit the "Tilde" button again (closing chat window) 4) hit Shift + T and there she be...the cheat menu.... moving along..just wanted to share... Regards Grandpa Troll

I am doing a personal game scenario, not for MP. I am tweaking various aspects. I wanted to be able to add computer gold. So i tried the "chipotle" deal but when I hit the tilde and the window pops up and hit CTRL + 4 i get an message command not found any suggestions? Thanks Gramps

I am not a "Modder" per se, however make my own maps from those available and "tweak" them. I enjoy maps with lots of rivers and no mountains since they are fairly useless to me. Is it possible to make a map without Mountains? (as in change a line in a file somewhere?) Currently I have to...

I check CFC three times a day hoping beyond hope another hardcore CTP'er may still be around! Alas like me fading away into the sunset!!! But still hoping someone may be out there with some input! Maybe that someone sees and dusts off their memory bank and culls out some previous experience to...

I play offline and single player, HOWEVER it is easy to be able to say start MODERN and exclude units or wonders I do not want by using the exclude tab versus going in and altering each individual file entry. I play on maps that are 220 X 220 and pick 9 civs and exclude settlers, allowing the...

I ahve been modding this game since shortly after it came out. I play strictly single player now. What I would like is a game with massive amounts of rivers and long rivers at that. Does anyone know which file and what parameters to alter? I have altered Const.txt under the following...

I was wondering if you could turn off Global Warming so tiles dont change when this happens? In CIV II if you had pollution but then you could clean it up which I really liked. Any suggestions, as always this is strictly for old Grandpa Tolls enjoyment and not for public maps. Thanks again...

Thanks! Very simple!!!! Regards Bruce

I went back playing CIV II:TOT and am using I believe the Gigamap with 7 Civilizations. I am very far from my neighborhood of cities, I pop a Hut and its a city...not a settler. My question is how do I disband the city? If I am able does it turn into settler or does the disbanded city just...
