I have a very weird issue here. My friend cannot login to her hotmail.co.uk email account: there's no message about the password or username being wrong, it just comes up with a page saying the inbox is unavailable. In Chrome, it says: This webpage is not available...

So one of my PCs won't boot. The system drive is a Kingston SSD that is viewable in BIOS and the advanced startup menu, but I can see that it's not being recogised during the boot process. In fact, none of the boot drive options are being used - it's jumping to some fictional PATA HD-DVD optical...

Alright, I have a tricky one. I have 2 pcs networked together via a gigabit switch, the gigabit switch is then plugged into a cable modem (router). The modem router was replaced by the cable company today, promising a doubling of my internet speed. Yay, I thought. But only one of the PCs is...

I'm having some difficulty reconciling a logically consistent position on the issue of abortion. Let me explain... One possible argument in favour of abortion is that the foetus is not sentient. But I'm not sure that statement is morally defensible. We don't consider infants to be sentient...

First, some context http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2013/jan/18/james-bond-police-licence-break-hearts In the UK several police officers, whilst undercover in the environmental protest movement, entered into long term sexual and romantic relationships with activists. In some instances...

This is weird, I've never come across this before: Curiously, it only affects cities that I've conquered. Cities that I've built are fine. It's not a game-breaking bug, but it does mean that I can't set build queues for those cities. Has anyone else come across this?

For a while now, I've thought that some of the leaderheads in AND have better equivalents in the CFC database. So I replaced some of them. Unfortunately, some of the leaderheads could not be replaced via a module, so I've had to overwrite the original leaderheads art defines file. But a backup...

Being somewhat unhappy with the way that unit promotions interact, I've decided to share my own modification. All new promotions come with button art. Download Link (93.4 KB) Installing will overwrite your original unit promotions file. Sorry, couldn't do this with a module. A backup is...

I'm running into difficulty compiling the DLL for Caveman 2 Cosmos. I edited the MakefilePaths file to point to my installations of the Visual Studio 2003 toolkit, windows SDK, my steam installation of Beyond the Sword and finally my installation of Tortoise SVN. But when I attempt to compile...

I followed this tutorial for compiling the DLL and successfully compiled a regular (un-modded) DLL from the BTS source code. So far so good. But when I attempt to compile an AND dll as a test, I get the following error log (as attached in zip file). My procedure was thus: Put BtS 3.19 source...

Since this mod includes the Assimilation sdk component, whereby captured cities retain the ability to build the UU and UB of the original civ, I've always thought it strange that the city artwork instantly changes to the new civ. But somone has just released a mod that makes captured cities...

There are various events in BTS whereby a horde of barbarians invade. The trouble is, the horde is a bit of a damp squib. I'd like to drastically increase the number of units spawned, but restrict the event so that it only appears on the borders of a civ with a score greater than a certain...

I've just seen this topic discussed on the BBC and I was curious what CFC-ers thought. Some salient points: Natural Law The basic premise is that government is only legal when it has the consent of the people (e.g. via elections). Furthermore, allegiance is not required in the face of tyranny...

I've noticed that Caveman2Cosmos runs very slowly on my system, which had no trouble with A New Dawn at all. Stuttering is so severe that terrain animated graphics (such as waves) is extremely slow and choppy and moving the mouse around the map is very cumbersome. I've also noticed that when I...

When I try to extract the 7z file to my Steam install, I get the following errors: ! C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\sid meier's civilization iv beyond the sword\Beyond the Sword\Mods\Caveman2Cosmos.7z: Cannot open...

It's always annoyed me that military units are referred to in the singular, especially later in the game when one imagines that each unit is comprised of hundreds if not thousands of men. For example: "Your Axeman has defeated a Barbarian Archer" to me would sound better as: "Your Axemen...

Does anyone know if it's possible to get Colonization units into Civ4? I heard that the NiSkinPartition in NiSkinInstance causes problems, but deleting those nodes doesn't seem to help. Does anyone have any knowledge on this? Specifically, I'm looking to take the standard american Cannon unit...

It is my belief that so much money is tied up in the US defence industry - both in terms of public spending and the profits that contractors expect to make - that the so-called 'military-industrial complex' has overriding political power. The US government finds it difficult to challenge...

This has been a long-standing gripe with me: that the AI cannot handle raging barbarians game option. Granted, they're tough enough for the player but even on Deity where the AI get lots of bonuses, they still can't handle the barbs. This weakness also makes the Great Wall a must-build wonder...

Beyond The Sword keeps telling me that my PC does not meet minimum spec (I do not get this message when playing vanilla). I believe that my system specs far exceed BtS requirements: Core i7 980X 6GB DDR3 Dominator RAM Steam/game installed on an SSD (also the OS/boot drive) GPU is a Sapphire...
