    What is this ViSa mod?

    Hi folks, I came to this forum to find out about this mod and I am very surprised that there's no introduction to this mod. There's plenty of great detail and enthusiasm for what looks like a well made mod (I glimpsed at some pics and threads here and there), but there's no "Welcome" or...

    No Tech Brokering is GREAT! No more tech spamming!!

    I am playing with no technology brokering... and I :love: it! This feature really tones down the furious AI haggling - which I always thought was flawed by it's intensity and the weird outcomes of techs appearing really early. With tech brokering switched "off", tech stealing through espionage...

    Concerning map scripts with BTS

    So for BTS map scripts: is there a post somewhere that shows sample pics of the new map scripts since vanilla? The reason I ask is to avoid the cumbersome exercise of starting several new games and opening the worldbuilder to view each one. (I don't know worldbuilder very well, except for...

    Monuments/Stonehenge: stronger culture strategies now?

    Hi folks, I have always been annoyed that Monuments/Stonehenge "expired" with Calendar, especially when I needed to make plantations to deal with :health: and :) issues - but now there's been a serious change to the culture wars in the early game: Monuments/Stonehenge "expire" with Astronomy...

    The no-BTS North American support group

    Well, for the time being, it looks like the whole world got BTS before we did. I'm really surprised this happened for an American designed product... :crazyeye: :crazyeye: :crazyeye: All this time we've been :drool: for BTS. Then :hmm: as everyone but the biggest market gets it! I'm sure...

    Choose your top 10 civs!

    Let's focus on what we like for a change! :) Out of all 34 civs from Vanilla, Warlords and BTS, what are your Top 10 civs you like whether you have throughly played them or not? Do not account for leaders (i.e. ignore traits), try look at this at the level of the civilizations themselves...

    Only 3 trait combos left - for next expansion?

    Well, so now we have the "dirt" on the new civ leaders in BTS. With 11 civ traits there are 55 combinations; of those 55 fifty-two are assigned now. Thus the remaining trait combos are: i) Charismatic + Creative ii) Industrious + Philosophical iii) Organized + Protective This leads me to...

    My 1st game crash - details posted. Help?

    Input from ya'll experts most welcome! ;) :D I play vanilla and warlord Civ4 with full graphics features, because everything has worked in the first vanilla games I played with maps smaller than standard. (And no big problems with Warlords - yet.) Today I was playing a standard sized...

    The new non-UUs, what is still to come?

    If I understand correctly there are 25 new units coming to the core game (scenerios often have new stuff by default that often is not seen in the main game). If we account for 10 of the 25 as the Unique Units for the 10 new civs, it is reasonable to expect 15 generic units leftover - and of...

    Unassigned Trait combos - a list for reference!

    Hello, here's a list of the trait combinations that remain unassigned, for everyone's quick reference :), since May 25, 2007. Looking over this list, and thinking about what is probable, does it help predict which new civ leader will get which combination? And for that matter, does it influence...

    How do Difficulty Levels affect the non-warmonger's game?

    I remember in Civ 3 that as difficulty level increased, the builder player had to become more and more of a total war monger; such that high difficulty levels just spoiled the builder's game... War, war, and more war, and nothing else. A constant state of war is not much fun for me! So for...

    If I want porn ads I'll go elsewhere!

    To Civfanatics Admin: I borrow the following quote from a thread on swearing: Ainwood Now I have ammunition... I post to protest the girlie ads from UGO. I come here to see things related to civ and I expect the ads to be the kind appropriate to a variable age and gender audience...

    Best leader for victory type?

    So, given there are 6 ways to win, and up to 36 leaders if one includes the Warlords expansion, what are the optimal leaders to achieve the win of choice? Let me rephrase that; what leader(s) do you think are optimal to win a: 1) Time Victory (most game points at 2050 A.D.)? 2) Conquest...

    Getting started on unit creation...

    Hello, I recently downloaded Python and Blender, as well as Firaxian info on unit creation. I know that I still need 3DMax 7.0, I want to save that for the final steps on getting a unit ready for the game. My initial challenge is "where do I start" in order to master the modelling. I am keen to...

    Intel graphics display and Civ4: does it work 4 U?

    Hey folks, I am potentially one of the unlucky ones stuck with a laptop equipped with an Intel Extreme Graphics 82852/82855 GM/GME Graphics Controller (April 2003). I say "potential" because I am reading conflicting information in posts here (and links to sites) regarding whether or not we folks...
