    Civilization 4: Modern Warfare

    Couldn't resist the CoD reference, sorry. I guess instead of CoDMW it would be C4MW or even C4BTSMW, but all three are lame, so let's just stick with Modern Warfare. I was tempted to add a "2" at the end since BTS changed a lot of strategies, but whatever. Ahem. So, modern warfare. Let's...

    Adding a poll to the front page of the site

    This may have already been suggested, but I surfed through the first few pages of the forum and didn't see much. The subject line is pretty straightforward. The poll could be changed weekly or whatever with access to previous poll questions asked. A user would have to be logged in to answer a...

    Genghis Khan - Beating Emperor

    Hey! I'm trying to get back into the flow of things for this game recently, and I can finally win consistently at Monarch again. I've been pushing it up to Emperor for the past few games and have found myself kind of unprepared for the increased Barbarians and the necessity for better...

    Supreme Court rules California must reduce state prison overpopulation

    From The Economist: http://www.economist.com/node/18744637?story_id=18744637 Edit: replaced the BBC link with the more informative Economist article. Has the Supreme Court overstretched its authority? What do you make of Justice Scalia and Justice Kennedy's opinions? What are possible...

    Just got a spyware alert...

    AVG just threw this up as I was surfing OT: It took care of the threat, but just drawing attention to it. Hopefully it's nothing.

    Experimenting with Java Sockets

    Hey guys, Much as the title states, I'm working on a really really lame java chat client, which for now operates solely within the context of a console or command line. And before anyone says anything, it has to be written in Java, so please don't suggest writing the program in another...

    Always War Strategy

    Any tips? I'm playing an Emperor/Marathon OCC-AW as Charlemagne. I landed a coastal capital with Copper, Corn, Gold, Fish, and Clams, so not bad. Lots of hills and forests and on a stub of land. Lack of natural chokepoint is a pain, but whatever. When should I go on the offense? Should I? Or...

    Debug DLL Help

    Soooo....got my normal DLL compiling and experience a crash or two, and set my build to Debug. Didn't work. I searched the forums, found a post about Debug DLLs with VS9/VSC++ 2008 and Vista, and used the attached Makefile. Tried again. Still doesn't work. Any ideas what the deal is...

    Beard or Mustache?

    If you could have only one, and not the other on your face, which one would you pick. Pics are appreciated, though please use bearded ladies sparingly in the interest of preserving my stomach contents within my digestive cavity. :D

    Teenagers, Sexuality, and the Role of Parents

    A somewhat broad topic, but one I find myself increasingly interested in, due in part to my own interactions with my parents and sister (and friends). Note that I am speaking from a largely male perspective, given my lack of female friends that I could hold an honest and open discussion of this...

    YAGAL (Yet Another Gripe About Language)

    So. Non-English languages. This is a pretty specific though on current forum policy on this matter, so I chose to disregard the current thread on forum rules. Sorry if that's a problem. My main rant is this: Why do we have to translate in Squonk's Francithreadi? The obvious answer is...

    Mounted Units Help?

    What are good promotion lines for Mounted Units? I've noticed I barely use them (excl. the occasional Chariot/Immortal/War Chariot/Keshik rush), so tips about that would also be cool. In the mid-game, one can access most mounted units: primarily, the Horse Archer/Keshik/Numidian Cavalry...

    Tips for Obscure units?

    We all know how to use our Praetorians and our Axemen, our Riflemen and our Grenadiers, our Cavalry and our Cuirassiers. Trebuchets and Catapults are oft-discussed, Artillery is self-explanatory, and Galleons? A cinch! But what about those weird units, the ones you think you'll never use in...

    Gameplay or Realism? Which do you prefer (and why?)

    A lot of the debate on this forum stems from this argument. Much more 'detailed', complex systems (ranging from accurate cities to militaries, better terrain to real victories) tend to heavily favor realism. I.e, there would be more elevations and terrain types, a spearman could never defeat a...

    Which is worse or less of a religion?

    Poll is coming up, but the two options are Wicca or Scientology.

    Obama's Healthcare Speech to Congress

    It's begun (at least the pre-commentary). Post your thoughts about it here. It's being telecast on most major networks, and I'll try digging up a link or two. :) Edit: try here

    CTD error, probably due to SDK

    So my DLL was created to introduce Offensive Pacts to the game. I basically cloned all of the Def. Pact functions, added the necessary tags to Civ4TechInfos.xml and Civ4LeaderheadInfos.xml, and the game text to the various text files. So, I first loaded up the various XML stuff, got that...

    SDK Mod CTD problems

    Hey guys! So, I finished compiling a DLL, copied it over to my mod's folder, and slapped it into my mod's Asset folder. I copied over the CvGameCoreDLL folder from my thumb drive to my mod folder, then fired up the mod. Okay, it loaded fine, entered main menu fine, etc. I hit Play Now...

    Bulbing, Settling, Building an Academy? What to do with a Great Scientist

    In a recent game, I popped a GS in an isolated start. My tech path would have allowed him to bulb Philosophy early (~250 BC). My capital was churning out roughly 70 BPT at 100% research. What should I have done with him? I was considering bulbing him, but I already had a religion...
