Oh for crying out loud, I had other things to do than learning modding just to implement the Apocalypse victory condition. There's no way we'll be seeing it in vanilla, yet someone has to make it.

Vanilla, as the basic ice cream flavor, is common slang for ordinary or default. While you should always make backups before messing with the game files, in these days you can always reinstall them from the disc. This was a far more severe thing back in my early days, when "disc" meant "floppy"...

For background, I am a moderately creative person with no knowledge of Civ IV "under the hood." Is it possible to have the Apollo Project's name depend on the civilization which creates it? As a name, 'Apollo' is neat but awfully generic, and the game's too US-centric (Hollywood, Rushmore...

I'm Christian and wouldn't really care if the Church of the Nativity did have the Vatican, but neither of them is half as important to us. Anyway, you mentioned the Civilopedia - is there a problem with that as well, or just with the image? I'm involved in a translation project and could fix the...

- I'm pretty much stuck on the Gandhi/Saladin line. - My playstyle's similarily inflexible. I go for the spaceship if I get half a chance. - I love to build and stick to Organized Religion. - I beeline for Plastics and go apewire if someone beats me to the Three Gorges Dam. I've gone to war over...

Ecological consequences. The Arctic is starting to break up. Estimates say that rain forests have only decades left and that oceanic fish populations may collapse to practically nothing by 2050. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is now twice the size of Texas. In Civilization, pollution...

City screens can also be opened by double-clicking the cities. Each uni tof population can work one square in a city's vicinity, generating food, production and/or commerce. Cottages only grow when their squares are worked. Worked squares can also be identified on the main map (though it's...

Stupid question, since the obvious escapes many: Is your camp adjancent to a water square?

Like "Baba Yetu" fit the main game, this one seems to suit the expansion very well... but does anyone have any idea what the lyrics are, or what they're in? The mp3 sounds vaguely Arabic or possibly Germanic. And is it a "real" piece of music, or just a "generally ethnic" one made for this...

Better yet, it also has Famine, Pestilence and War. They're not as impressive as they should, though.

I'm impressed and somewhat scared. Multiple resources don't have any other benefit than trade, though, except boosting the squares that they're on. At least they can work as backups in case of war.

You know, when an American talks on about how great the country's freedoms are, onlookers from a number of countries tend to go along the lines of "...yes? We've got those here, and of course they're marvellous, but... what's with the fixation?" That's my impression, at least.

So, are the first-level abilities of caster units supposed to automatically bring the second-level ones at upgrade? Considering that I've got alltypes of mana in my continents/medium/prince game, that could be very interesting indeed... as an offside, death mana could use a warning sign.

There's a flying cow in The Journeyman Project, just for the record.

Status update: Work is proceeding at a steady pace. As is visible on the project's home page, over half of the Civilopedia text is now in Finnish, which amounts to roughly 2/3 of the entries. At the same time the main game's translation has been refined, the diplomacy texts have been redone and...
