The rationale behind this mod is pretty convincing. :goodjob:

This looks great, will give it a try tonight.

Have you really never won a game? I have been playing Civ for years and only won a few games. As I got better and close to winning games I would ramp the difficulty up. Every time I beat the game I lose the desire to play it for weeks. When I lose :mad: I can't wait to start a new game.

To any Civ4 players who've played Freeciv, what's your opinion of it?

I highly recommend you check out the in-game mods browser if you haven't already. Here's what I'm using: Queen of the Iceni: adds Celtic Civ, but most important enables single unit graphics plus an option to remove unit icons. Economy mod: makes Tech's cost longer, units and buildings a...

Can someone please bring back the old resource icons? In Civ4 collecting all those blue hammers in your city felt GOOD. These strange orange circles just don't compare.

This link provides a reasonable explanation. IIRC, I remember reading that tessellation in Civ V is used in the leaderhead scenes. The leaderheads do look kinda last-gen on DX9 I have to admit. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-eTngR6M37Q

Good advice!
