This would be great, hope the script can be updated with this. Need coastal areas that are bigger than just one tile.

I've been play BE for about 7 hours, and have played CIV5 for about 150 hours and SMAC for probably the same. I'm playing on normal difficult, standard speed, medium graphics. vs CIV5: Negatives: -Units are very difficult to identify between - their logos look very similar, and are all...

I don't think you can move through city states cities, not sure about allies either. Better to have a water tile with a city nearby that controls the border. Land transport becomes a bit slower though. Also the resources aren't really allocated ideally - eg. No iron in the whole Middle...

Is it possible to put a Civ's capital or a city state to make the Suez canal and the Panama Canal?

A previous article had put it well - they shifted game mechanics to that of a board game, with artificial/arbitrary rules and concepts. By contrast, Civ 4 and previous were more of a 'Civilisation Simulator'. I think thats what we were looking for, with better graphics and hexagons. The content...

Can't imagine which kind of modder would be uploading and downloading 100mb's for their *own* mods... and be on dial-up.

Anywhere to download or watch the entire stream, HD?

Is this included in 2.8? Is it compatible with ROM features?

Does 2.7 -> 2.71 require the full 2xxmb download? Theres no patch to 2.71? Great mod btw ;-)

I still can't play the scenarios either - I thought this would have been fixed for the final release? CTD every time.

Does the 2.5 megapack include more content than the normal 2.4 install + 2.5 install?

Getting crashes quite often saying the game has run out of video memory - I have a 512mb 8800GT, 2gb Ram. Running 2.501. Assuming I can patch to 2.502 straight and not need to reinstall the whole mod and/or start a new game?

I keep on generating less money each turn than what it says I'm meant to be earning - in a late game, I have 3,500+ for the next turn, but my treasury only increases about 500 gold. I have lots of automated workers and automated building governors - do governors rush buildings?

Its on the trade route yield, not on the overall production of the city. I thought that too, but switch to slavery asap for the +1 food and +1 hammers on farms and mines.

By the time you reach the new world the barbarians are still very basic, lacking gunpowder technologies. Best of all they build all the infrastructure for you and you just need to take their cities! Its realistic after all - the new world was populated, the Aztecs, Indians et al were a...
