For some reason my save files that I try loading cause the game to crash. It's not every save file, but around 1200 or so on an epic speed game, using the 2nd largest map size (using the over-ride), when I go to load games I saved, it crashes. It does this on any computer that I have bat 2.1 on.

I'm playing on Emperor or Immortal, I forget which, I don't have the game open right now. Ragnar declares on me for the 18th time. I have about 20 nukes waiting for the city in which he's stashed 100+ units. I decimate them, nothing left in that city. At the time he was 34% stronger than me...

I love using the planet generator found here, but after the latest patch I can't seem to get it working right. It still shows up from the list of custom map options, but all the options are stripped away, all I can do is select things like continent size, and temperature, and all the basic...

I'm trying to show someone how to play Civ IV, but I can't find the tutorial for the life of me...did they get rid of it with the latest patch?? Can someone tell me how to get to it from the main menu, because it seems to have disappeared on me...

I remember reading somewhere on the strategy forums a while ago that some people were saying it's better to put your markets/wallstreet/etc. in a GP farm (on account of being able to have a ton of merchants) than it was to put them in commerce cities with cottages (since most of that commerce...

I've had these 3 installed, along with blue-marble, for a long time. I just decided to check for updates on all of them. What's the process for installing the latest version of all of them? Is there a certain order I must go in?

I'm on an uber-huge map right now with 18 civs, marathon speed, my neighbors to the south-west are the celts, due west the greeks, to the north the English, and to the east an ocean, and the Khmer, but they don't really figure into this. I'm using the BAT mod so I can see my opponents...

I'm using the Batmod, and playing as the Carthos. For some reason every city I build it wants to name Carthage. Does anyone have the full city name list for the Carthaginians??

OK, so I'm in the classical era, and there's this song I like from it. But when I go into my 'classical' folder in the vanilla civ soundtrack directory...there's only 4 files, ancientsoundtrack1, ancientsoundtrack2, ancientsoundtrack3, and ancientsoundtrack4. None of them are it. what gives?

OK, so I have a stack of units in worldbuilder, if I want to delete just the 4th or 5th one down the list without touching the others, how the heck do I do it??

What are some of the better articles on how to use this? Would I basically just build the globe theater in a city with a rapid population growth rate and just keep whipping military units out of it??

ok, so I opened up global defines in note pad, reduced global warming from 20 to 0....and I'm still getting it in a game I had going before reducing it to 0....does it not take effect until the next new game I start??

Remember in the good old days of Civ I when if you captured someone's capital city there was a chance their empire would split in two via a civil war? I really wish they had brought that back in this game....or maybe if enough of your cities were in civil disorder mode for long enough they'd...

What exactly causes global warming? I thought it was from nuclear fallout, but I've cleaned up every tile that had it on the map I'm now playing on and it still strikes 4 or 5 times per game... If I edit it down to 0 in the global defines XML file will that ruin the game I'm currently playing?

Can someone point me to an article or thread that explains how to use the national park effectively? I've never built it, but apparently almost everyone else uses the thing..

OK, I'll be playing along and then all of a sudden notification will pop up that my 'peace treaty' with a civ. has just expired....the problem is I haven't been at war with them EVER. This happens sporadically throughout the game, and it's pissing me off. Right now I can't declare war on...

OK so I founded mining Inc. so that I could boost my production...but now every city I spread it to gets the production bonus BUT it costs about 30 gold per turn per city to have it!! How is this beneficial at all? If I spread it to more than 15 or 20 cities I'll be at 0% science! Is there any...

I'm kind of curious as to whether or not any one uses this promotion? I've never really seen it mentioned here, but I like using it on units like machine gunners. Anyone else use this promotion ever?

So I'm the leader now....and I'm sitting around waiting for the screen to pop up with the list of resolutions like it does for the U.N....I'm waiting...and waiting...and waiting...and nothing happens!! How do I get that screen to come up??

This forum needs a glossary lol...what do those terms mean??
