I completely agree with you, specially regarding the Romans. In my opinion, they are by far the best civilization if you're not planning a blitz win but a high-score game. I usually tend to follow three rules (as I explained in another post): 1) Develop Feudalism ASAP. Cataphracts are BY FAR...

Too zoomed in? Perhaps I didn't understand the context, but you can decide the level of zooming the same way most iPhone apps do: slide two fingers apart, and it'll zoom in; the opposite movement will zoom out. Personally, I'm a great lover of CivRev for iPhone. And I've played every single...

In my gaame, the pollution bug only started around Future Tech 120' on Emperor, so I think it must be a combination of population AND tech. I've played games with a higher population and no bug, and since you say in your experience Future Tech 64 triggered it in your case, I think that would be...

I was definitively in the high numbers of future tech, so it would make sense... Thanks a lot for your answer!

I've been playing the Romans on Emperor level and expanded very aggressively over a customized earth with big continental plates. Now I dominate 4/5 of the landmass, I signed peace treaties with all other civilizations (4 remaining) and I'm concentrating on building the biggest empire I've ever...

Thanks a lot for your explanations, Dack! The rectangle I'm talking about is the one placed just above the lefthand slider. There's obviously a small problem when running your programme under my system, since instead of displaying a number ("16" in the screenshot you provided), it remains all...

Hi Dack, I'm trying to place some special resources next to my enemies, but I can't understand how the Special Resources & Huts menu works. The two scrolls on the left side of the screen don't provide extra information when using them (they don't actually scroll down anything); and just...

I seem to remeber a similar thing happening to me quite a few years ago, and yes, I won through conquest. But such a bug takes all the fun out of the game, at least for me, since I plan beforehand the way I intend to win (if I manage, which most of the times I don't, because I try to use weird...

Sorry for answering in Spanish, I assumed the person who posted wasn't that good with English or else he would have done it in that language. A good translation of my answer would be: If you're using DOSBOX (which I assume you do), once you execute the program press Ctrl+F12 five or six times...

Si juegas con DOSBOX (que supongo que sí), al ejecutarlo presiona seis o siete veces Ctrl+F12. Eso hará que la velocidad de ejecución sea mucho más rápida, puede que incluso demasiado (los menús desplegables a veces son un visto y no visto, como si dieras dos veces con el ratón en vez de una)...

Much appreciated, Mize; and same so, excuse me if I insulted you. :)

I personally think that the appeal of Civ1 relies on the many ways it allows you to play. After ages of being a fan, I can still get to decide "This time I'll act differently", and be amazed at the incredibly diverse outcomes. There is only one game that I still play and which is comparable in...

No, Civ1 is still not freeware. Yet there are many places that actually offer it for free as abandonware, and get away with it. I guess no-one seems to think the Civ1 sales will influence their accounts anymore, so they don't chase those sites (they're wrong, if I hadn't bought the game years...

The easiest way is when the game asks you the graphics mode, the sound card, and whether you want to use keyboard/mouse. In the blue table above, the first line actually displays the version. No need for complicated procedures, at least in my version (474.03) :). Maybe other versions don't...

My apologies again, Mize, and I mean it. For whatever reason, I don't have access to threads that old. I only can go back to 4 pages, and 15 minutes is time enough to go through every thread. I read with great interest the ones you quoted, and they indeed answer my question. I don't intent to be...
