I've been playing games in this series since the begining. For Civs 1-3, I could start new worlds constantly and not get bored. Sure, I'd take breaks from Civ to play other things, but I always came back within a month or two. With Civ IV, this hasn't been the case. I played it a lot at...

This was why I came to the forum tonight. I was pissed when I saw this garbage was back. Are we sure they're basing it on their needs this time, and not the size of your empire like in Civ III? This should be a check-able option to turn on or off.

There are problems w/ the game? Really? The 5,000 other threads that make a "we're just beta testers that paid for the right" complaint hadn't made that clear. Thanks for clearing it up, man. I see the light now.

I was having a similar problem, except mine was crashing the entire system. I updated the drivers for my video card, and the problem was gone.

That would make a bit more sense. :)

Welcome to Civ games. :)

I disagree. The horse archers are supposed to be quick attack units, like all cavlary, and are basically a replacement to the horsemen of old Civs. Archer units are primarily defensive in Civ IV. If they were treated as archer units they would recieve a defensive bonus and be able to get the...

From the READ ME: Advanced users can change various Civilization IV settings and options by editing your INI file. To locate the INI files, navigate to "My Documents", "My Games", "Sid Meier’s Civilization IV" and open the “CivilizationIV.ini” file. This file is a standard text files that can...

I'm personally very insulted that Fraxis put Oxford in the game over my school!! It's a well known fact Missouri State University (est. 1905) is the greatest center of research and education in the world. Oxford?! I bet they don't even have a good basketball team! What kinda school is that?!

America is in the game b/c we're AWESOME. No other reason needed. :D

No, it's not enough. I'm running 512 as well, and I can't get huge games to run pretty much at all. Huge save games take at least 10 minutes to load, and 4 or 5 minutes between turns only 30 turns into the game. On a large, like everyone else, once most of the map is revealed, every action...

A few things: 1. This game was beta tested. There are beta testers that are reading these forums, including the founder of this forum. It's impossible for them to test the game on every possible system configuration. However, I am as stumped as everyone else how that ATI thing got by. 2...

I had Judiaism as my state religion the other day and was trying my hardest to keep Christanity from spreading in my cities because my neighbors to the south (The Arabs) had founded it. If that wasn't strange enough, I felt really odd when I caught myself mumbling something about wanting to...

Thanks guys! It super great.

My only real complaint so far is the load times for new and saved games. I'm running a fairly respectable system, and I've had to wait almost 10 minutes for a huge world save game to load. I don't like that at all.
