I have to agree with the UI complaints. Civ V's UI is pretty close to unusable :(. Regarding the UI, one of my biggest gripes (besides the fact that you had to switch between two modes to change production and add items to the production queue) was the fact that there wasn't any way to move a...

Wow, great changes! I just have a question: Dale posted a while back a list of changes 'he submitted'. Does that mean that the mods that weren't made in-house by Firaxis are also being patched by this patch?

I have a couple of comments/suggestions. - There is an exploit with starbases where you can start building one next to another faction's starbase, and when your base completes its cultural boundary pushes the other faction's starbase culture away. You can use this to 'steal' resources or deny...

They changed it in BTS. You now get Great Spy instead of engineer, which is less useful overall, but you can take the spy, infiltrate a nearby neighbor, and steal a bunch of early techs. So it might actually be more useful.

Roads don't generate commerce. However, you can 'connect' a road to a river as part of a trading network, if I remember correctly. So you could have a road leading from one city to the river, and it would be able to trade with any cities along that river. Maybe that's why?

The Great Wall prevents barbarians from entering your land borders on the continent on which it's built. So, basically: - If you have finished the Wall, and there are barbarian land units outside your cultural boundaries (NOT the physical wall graphic), they will never enter your territory. -...

Hmm, thanks for the patch heads-up. I'm looking at the Microsoft article right now, and it describes EXACTLY the problem I'm getting: I wonder why they haven't been put on Windows Update yet, though? Grrr...

If you're new to Civ 4, you may want to try a leader who has the 'Financial' trait, or if you want to kill people and get used to the combat system, you can try playing as the Romans.

There's a Save Converter program on the website here (http://forums.civfanatics.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=2544), which allows you to alter various parameters of save files. It doesn't work with BtS, and I'm not sure if it allows you to change game speed, but it's worth a try.

So, we should kick the people who like Civ 4 out of the Civ 4 forum because they like Civ 4....what?

That's true, the global warming model is seriously flawed from a gameplay perspective. If even one of your nuclear plants melts down or one of your nuclear bombs explodes, you can look forwards to watching your productive land tiles irreversibly become desert for the rest of the game.

Just like Japan, Russia, France, and the Roman Empire never did. Oh, wait... All icing on the cake after what the country had to go through at the hands of the Europeans and the Japanese. How many civilians died as a result of Unit 731's biological warfare experiments alone? While the Allies...

Thank you, TheAmerican, for elucidating to us all exactly why America's world opinion is at an all-time low.

I note in the changelog that you can no longer build forts in foreign territory. Does this also apply to civs you are at war with?

Do you have 3.03? The Civilopedia problem is global, not just limited to this scenario.

Do you know if they actually worked on them at all? Judging from the 'near to release date' comment, it seems like they had spent time...which is a pity, because Defense is a pretty weak scenario :(.

Would it be a balance-breaker if they could carry and launch Paratroopers? Of course, realistically speaking, the transport planes that carry the Paratroopers are probably as big as, if not bigger than WW2 bombers (I'm not too clear on the subject), so it would be a long shot.

He's pretty much got it. A lot of people in the West take what they see on the news and their knee-jerk reaction to the word 'Communist' and paint this picture of an Orwellian dystopia filled with faceless labor slaves working away under nonstop government propaganda, a picture which deviates...

The AI automation features are definitely buggy. I've had workers build forts and destroy my improvements even when I was certain that I had not clicked any of the automation buttons or checked 'worker starts automated'.

The easiest thing to do is to build cottages. Lots of them, as early as possible. As they become worked, and you move up the tech tree, they will generate the gold needed to offset your increasing expenses.
