    [C3C] Does Civ3 utilize modern GPUs at all?

    I'm curious, my GPU is busted and if I play a game for too long I get a crash, this depends on the load on the GPU. Civ6 I crash in like 30 minutes, Civ5 I usually get 2-3 hours, with Civ3 I tested it and left if running for a full 24 hours and it never crashed. So does Civ3 actually touch...

    Crashes to Tan Screen during Turns (necessitates a PC reboot)

    So I'm having this issue where every few turns my game will hard lock my PC to a tan screen after which I need to reboot the PC to fix. Checked integrity of files, all good, only mod is YNaEMP, game is on a TSL Earth with 21 civs. Happens in both DX11 and DX12. Drivers are up to date. Specs...

    So I finished my first Civ6 game and... I don't enjoy it as much as Civ5.

    I just want some validation that I'm not alone here. With COVID I've had time to dig into my backlog and I had Civ6 (and all of the expansions and DLC) waiting so I figured I'd give it a shot. Played a basic large game on a random world on Prince and... I didn't enjoy it. I figured I should...

    How well could I run the game on my build?

    So I've got a FX-8370 (stock speed, but with a Wraith Cooler so OCing is possible), an RX 480 with 8GB of RAM, 8GB of DDR3 RAM, on Windows 7, with a 1080p monitor. How well can I run the game?

    Crisis of the Third Century?

    I'm looking for a mod or mods that can be used to make a Crisis of the Third Century mod. Basically I need a really detailed huge map of Europe with most of the Middle East as well as civs that can be used for the Gallic Empire, Germanic Tribes, Sassanid Persians, and Palmyrene Empire. Does...

    Australia and YNAEMP help.

    Australia isn't showing up as a selectable civ for me when using TSL YNAEMP. The only other mods I have active are YNAEMP 43 civs, YNAEMP leader screen fix, pontoon bridges, faster aircraft animation, faster border expansion, quick turns, Argentina, Boer, Chile, Confederate States, Vietnam, and...

    Games larger than 22 civs.

    Seeing the AI games has got me curious, what resources would you need to run a game with more than 22 civs? I normally play Giant TSL Earth with 22 civs and 30 city states. I have an AMD Phenom II x4 965 BE at 3.4ghz, a 6870 1gb, and 8gb of RAM. I have my PC hooked up to my TV so I only run...

    World Congress question.

    For the first time due to not starting near any city states at all I have not been made the host of the World Congress. My question is, what happens when the host civilization is wiped out? Does the host revert to the civ with the next highest amount of votes? Or does it go to a vote for a...

    Will Beyond Earth use the same engine at Civ5?

    Looking at the screenshots, I'd say yes. My hardware is pushing low-end at this point (Phenom II x4 965BE and 6870 1gb) and I'd rather not have to upgrade to play this at max or near-max settings.

    1632 - Ring of Fire?

    I've recently gotten into the Ring of Fire (1632) series of books and I was wondering if anyone has made any mods/scenarios/maps based on the series? I realize that the series started in 2000, but it is still ongoing.

    The Return of Colonies

    For anyone who has played Civilization 3 with the expansions will most likely remember colonies. I don't know if they were in 4, I never really played it. You'd send a worker out to a resource that was outside of your cultural boundaries and consume him to build a colony, that when connected...

    Texture Streaming Issue

    Since the last patch sometimes the map textures won't stream properly so the map will appear grey, then quickly fill in, but when I move to a different part of the map it reverts. It is basically like the game isn't keeping the terrain textures active so it has to reload them every time the...

    How do you turn off Religion?

    I noticed that in the advanced options you can turn off Espionage and that some scenarios, like Fall of Rome, have Religion turned off. However I do not see an option to turn off Religion in the advanced settings. Is there a way to turn this off, and if not is there a mod for the sole purpose...

    Let us stop at a certain technological period.

    Since we can choose what period to start in I would like the ability to choose what period we end in. Sure it would turn off some victory conditions like Science, (potentially) Culture, and (potentially) Diplomatic, but I would love to play a game that ended technologically in the Middle Ages so...

    I know that you can start in a certain era but can you make it stop at one?

    I know that you can select which era you want your game to start in, but is there any way, mod or otherwise that has it so technology ends at a chosen era? I know that this would turn off a few victory conditions. but I'd like to play some games where the Classical or Renaissance eras were the...

    So does it seem that Civ3 players love Civ5 and Civ4 players hate it?

    Maybe it is just me but I've been noticing that players who loved Civ3 and disliked Civ4 also end up loving Civ5.

    Waiting for Complete?

    Normally when I buy Civ games I wait for the Complete Edition to come out. However with V's DLC model and the first (of two I'm guessing) Expansion Pack only comes out next month I don't think a Complete Edition will be out for over another year. I can't check Steam right now, and I'd rather...

    Will I be able to run Civ V on Max settings with this PC?

    Would you recommend Civ5 to someone who loved Civ3 but hated Civ4?

    I'll be getting a new computer that should be able to run Civ5 at max soon and I am wondering if from the perspective of someone who loved Civ3 but hated Civ4 if Civilization V is better than Civ4?

    We Stopped Dreaming - Something of magnitudes more importance than Kony2012

    CbIZU8cQWXc NASA is ridiculously underfunded and under-popularized in modern society. We as a culture have lost the desire to explore and further our knowledge, something that can only lead to our end.
