Been playing Civ 4 for quite sometime, and only recently have I noticed that on the city screen, you can select a specialist, and set it "up" or "down". The thing is, I have no idea what the setting means. Is that for automated populations, i.e. I let the city do as it pleases, but if I...

I was reading through the CivCon '09 thread and thought it would be fantastic to attend. Problem is, I'm in Shanghai, China. A bit far for my budget. So why not find out who's in Shanghai or surrounding cities? There's 4 of us right now playing a PBEM, 3 based in Shanghai, 1 in Suzhou...

A few of us want to start a game, and I've offered to set the whole thing up. What we want to do is start out with about 3 or 4 cities and some units, so that we don't have to waste time in the initial 1-city phase. I have their email & smtp, so I can set that up. But how would I set up...

I know you can play a different folder & such, but I have two questions to add. One: If I were to drop music into one of the folders for the particular time, Renaissance or Modern or whatever, would that automatically queue? Or is there an xml file somewhere that handles all that? Worse...

What's the press coverage in the rest of the world like? Here, it's been nonstop since May 12th. Both CCTV-9 and the new Shanghai English Channel, ICS, has been pumping Earthquake news originally (good) but has now started playing musical "rescue" clips & scenes of the damage, orphans...

Since I'm not sure if this is a bug or not, I'll just post it here. Mods, do what you will if this isn't the right place. Playing the Earth map, I'd started with Germany, with Russia to my right, and the Vikings to the north. I'd already spread the empire out, taking over France & Spain, as...

I just posted something on the "Civ4Lerts" forum about it not working on vanilla, and then I discovered that neither did "Better AI". When I was just about to give up, I decided to try something. I auto-load The Lopez's Great Options Mod, because think it's simply a fantastic mod. I decided...

(4/4) Ideas I came up with in the last two days of gaming. Again... still playing the TETurkhan mod, I hit the Foreign Affairs screen. The advisor tells me a bit about the other civs and I'm staring at 6 heads, smiling or snarling. However, there are 31 civs in this world, and to have a...

(3/4) Ideas I came up with in the last two days of gaming. At the quickest level, I can get new techs at 4 turns/tech. When I get a new tech, I slide my Science bar over all the way till it gets to 4/tech, we'll say 90%. After the next round, I can cut back on science spending to 80% and...

(2/4) Ideas I came up with in the last two days of gaming. Currently, I'm poised to take all of China AND Japan. My units are bearing down on them, and within the next five turns, both should be eliminated. But, the two countries have now declared war on two others, one rather large civ...

(1/4) Ideas I came up with in the last two days of gaming. A few times now, I've seen a civ or two just wandering their ships into my oceans. In my particular game, turns take a lot of time, and I don't tend to take notes or write things down to remind me. By the time my turn is up, I've...

Having trouble downloading anything off of CivFanatics. The download starts at 6 K or something, and just drops to damn near zero, then the connection gives up. I'm using ADSL, so this shouldn't be a problem. Would this have something to do with my location? I've read here about some decent...

So we have a "Golden Age!" That's cool, especially since most of your productivity is up, and you get your advances faster. That's all well and good. But when it's over, that's it. Nothing else to look forward to. But I say, let's have a Renaissance. Similar to Golden Age, but not for...

What I did was to take the TETurkhan scenarios and change a few things around. I renamed some civs, and renamed a few other things in order to fit the concept of my storyline. Kara is loosely based on a Fantasy world. Right now, it's at the ver 0.1 stage, but I just wanted to get it out...
