Hi there, I am curious about when the team plans to make modifications to the WoC Mod to restore balance to the game. I am now using the 5th Modpacks set and the cumulative impact of the new wonders, resources and buildings has been transformative in gameplay terms. The impact of all of...

From the map-makers point of view the choices are not easy as Civ affords a limited number of terrain types which must be used to represent all the diverse features of Earth. If CIV 4 included weather or temperature zones then it would be possible to differentiate terrain in terms of crop yield...

LoneWolf, I recall reading previously a post by Kai that said that the distribution of mountains and tundra was linked to the relative elevation of the terrain. There are vast areas of Tundra in GEM. There are also many mountains. Whilst the distribution of these terrain features is...

Hi Guys, Quick question is it true that CIV 4 does not support 64bit or dual core processors? Over in the GEM forum I have been told that CIV is limited to 32bit and 1 core. So that while it runs under a 64 bit environment it does not benefit from the extra system resources. Further what...

Sorry my mistake that link ( http://www.ntcore.com/exsuite.php ) was not dead at all. It transpired that I can only access it via a proxy server. For some reason known only to themselves the Chinese government seem to have blocked this site. Life behind the Great Firewall of China is often...

Adhesive86, I would love to try that solution but the link that is provided in Slyflyer's post seems to be dead. I will try it again later. I take your point about the difficulty of winning a domination victory on GEM or larger maps. I can see why this may bother some players. That it...

Such a rapid response. Thanks. I use XP anyway becuase vista is such a resource hog. I suppose the only thing to be done is to pester Firaxis to release such a 64bit patch. Probably futile but worth trying. Imperium30

Bastian-Bux Well I think i may have got your news just in time. Does this mean that if I were to upgrade my processor from my current E8200 dual core to something that has more power and more cores then I am not going to see any performance gain? That's just so infuriating. Is there...

I have to agree with Jabarto. BTS runs fine for me under a 64 bit environment. In fact I upgraded to 64bit XP pro just for CIV so that I could use more than 3GB of RAM. It may not run much faster than it did on XP 32 but it's surely not slower. So could you explain further what these...

Hi there, I wonder if Genghis Kai or one of the other modders would care to comment on the viability of a map larger than the current GEM. Don't get me wrong I really like GEM and I have played all my best games on it. However even on GEM Europe is crowded and lot of compromises have had...

RockinRoger, Thanks for the swift reply on Tin. I would just like to add that I love all your new resources (except maybe cloth). However they do tend to make the city screen a little cramped and disorganized looking. This is particularly true of the luxury resources colum which generates...

Hi Guys, Is there a great people mod currently available in WoC format? I do have one called "Extended Great people" which features great doctors and diplomats but it does not seem to be compatible with WoC. I wonder does anyone have such a Mod in the pipeline? Thanks in advance...

Johny, I am in no way anxious to rush to judgement on your mod and I applaud your efforts in revamping the religious aspect of the game. However from what I have read from your postings there will be at least 94 religions in the game - with up to 194 possible. I understand that some are...

Hi Guys, I read above about the grand plans for a religious mod that enables 100 or more faiths with cults, schisms etc. It all sounds wonderful. However when you stop and think about it and imagine your normal sized map with say 80 cities on it then it should be apparent that the result is...
