:crazyeye: If we follow your logic, nobody ever cheated a game with punkbuster. What make me laugh is first yous say: "there is no cheaters" then you say "There is a cheaters protection" If they made a cheat protection, thats probably because there is cheaters around no? I think I know you...

You can ping your home with the school computer and see if the latency is correct. I'd say that if you ping under 200ms, it could be playable but I'm not sure. I've never tested VNP tunel for games. I don't think you can play civ with a ping over 300, it is possible but it will lag. So if you...

You need to open a lot of ports for this game. I tried to open "some" but it didn't work. This will give you an idea: This is a ss of my routers settings. When I want to play civ, I need to load a premade config. Then when I've finish playing it, I reload the normal one. All this because...

Very common in mp. Most of the time, if they get axe and you don't, they attack. If they fail, they quit :lol:

You can use slavery if there is a lot of food and no hills. If it's too far,Build a cottage city between your capital and the "production city" I don't think 12 tiles is far. 2 or 3 hills is ok, to not say good. Sometimes you'll get just one or even none. You need to get used and adapt...

You can go in the option of you video card and change the graphic quality for FAST instead of good. I did this on a slow computer and it really help. BTS is lagging at late game on my 7950G7 with a core2duo. The micromanagement at some point get very slow. Sometimes take 1 sec to change...

I don't know when the vote come. Sometimes the vote was coming each 10 turn and one time it took more time than usely . But 50 turns without a vote is not normal at all. I've win a diplo victory without any vassal. We was playing a 5 players mp game. 3 played quited. The last guy on the server...

I need GP early in the game. I start making them as soon as I have my library. I never really made a gp farm. Because I do a rotation in my good city, one make scientific and the other prophet for example. To make a gp farm, it would require a good city that can have at least 3 specialist. A...

I have my doubt when you say cheating is only possible with custom map. It appear civ4 has a cheat protection. I tried myself to change the scroll speed in the files and I was tagged as MOD when joining a game. I don't know how well made is this anti-cheat, I don't know if it can be bypassed in...

Idiansmoke said this just after my post:

First 2 line for civ. thrid line, for both. 4 and 5 for both. 6 and 7 for other games. 8 for both. 9 for both. I hope it help. In a ladder like TWL or CPL, it is well known that EVERYBODY CHEAT. I'm not sure why this rule cannot be applied to civ4. In all these years, I've seen ladder...

Exactly what I think Wejer. It's why I prefer to stay out of ladder. In my years of experience in mp gaming,chatting and forum reading I cay this: Cheaters are weird people. Their fun do not end at cheating and winning a game. What they also like is pretending they are great and...

A picture walktrought. That's interesting.

Pretty smart indeed, I'm not at this level and never will.

I see, this make sense now.
