I don't normally get involved in the online yak-a-yak, but my experience with CIV-5 is making me angry enough to add to the confusion. Background: I am an ol' guy (63 ans is just a blink away) and I only have experience with CIV-4. I got hooked 2 years ago after playing a computer magazine...

Leif- I have the basic store bought version. Haven't patched anything. Where do I find that info??Assumed Steam did that as it keeps trying to sell me some other drivel I am not interested in. Thought that was why I can't play the game without them. Kid- Thanks I will try loading save into my...

Have not had problems with TSG1 &2. i download TSG3 and try to start and Windows Vista 64 asks what program to use. No selection available it will recognize. On line browse has same result. Is this some d@!m Steam issue or what. This whole CIV 5 experience is becoming quite a hassle. How do I...

Not a criticism, just another game us mortals are not up to. Happy went easy, then no chance with mansa even with 12 swords and Art. No fun when no hope. Will keep trying with next, but no submits for last two games means depression

Ahh! survival :king: = Fun :D I'll have to try that next time:lol:

Not fun. Sal settled copper before I could get settler out! Settled west and decided to culture squeeze copper city. No other choice. Sal declared before I could get copper and Ceasar's Praets declared and dogpiled from the west. Doomed at 900AD. (Just a comment: this was the shortest and most...

Premise: I am way over my head at Diety. Observation: I am alone and scared to death that I am about to be vaporized! Resolve: Build until the Huns make me bleed. Plan of Action: Build Cities until the Huns make me bleed. Alone and building I have ignored Wonders but built scientists-galore...

First attempt at diplomacy and since I was hopelessly deadlocked at 2050 I woefully retired. Actually the last hundred turns were very boring -trying to increase modifiers (unsuccessfully) and hitting enter a lot. I think I need to spam cities a lot faster than I did and I certainly need to...

Tile NW-N looks to be coastal on East side so settling NW should maximise usable sea tiles and minimize useless ocean tiles to East. Also more hills possible north. triremes will be a must after determining island size. Will rethink if warrior South finds more resource.

Flailed away from the Gitgo. Lost A religious defeat to Peter in 1685AD. Problems started when a miss-step from my first settler ended in a Barb lunch. I never could regain any momentum and ended with 7 cities. Peter was friendly but 3 times my score at the end. Only good thing (I think for me)...

Enjoyed the game although I really had no plan. I kept building stuff then changing my mind and killing everyone off. Late 16 hundreds for domination. One of these days i am going to concentrate, and focus, and count, and plan, and strategize, and work on diplomacy, and ....naaaah these thoughts...

Late to start this event. Results similar to most. Settled on Copper and successfully kept Barbs from pillaging anything- but not able to grow fast enough as all the settler spamming AI were one step ahead of me. 1AD 3 cities, low man on the totem pole (score), and looking for someone to get...

As this was my first immortal game attempt, glad it was considered "easy" by you pros. Still learning game mechanics so enjoyed stretching my abilities. I did have an unexpected domination win in 1601AD and had I been paying any attention that could have been a couple centuries earlier. After a...

Noob Hear, Second time writing this as I hit something to make it vanish before posting. Will try again, Swede's comments are very entertaining and show a level of calm and assurance I don't yet possess' At 60+ and fairly new to CIV I have been following the "Geezers" in the SGOTMs and find...

His compass got wet during his morning swim. I told him to take the workboat or at least follow the shoreline NW. :)

Torn between 2 openings. 1. warrior 1ne, settler 1se and settle on plains hill for production boost. I also don't like present location because not on ocean (I don't think) so end up with useless sea tiles. 2. warrior 1w to look for seafood, settler 1 n or 1nw depending on warrior result. I...

Thanks AlanH. Methos and Denniz helped me sort out that I was not getting a good 3.17.001 download from CivFanatics but when I downloaded it from a link provided by Methos everything worked as advertised and I am now ready to get clobbered in my first immortal game.:D

Was out for a couple hours and just finished re downloading....and...:dance: Up and running!! No errors with asset checker and successfully loaded3.17.001 from BTS Advanced menu. Methos and Denniz thankyou for your help and patience. Don't know why the CivFanatics downloads didn't take but the...

Methos- I am using Vista (SP-1) on an HP Laptop. Have had no problrms with any of the other mods for BTS, Warlords or Vanilla until 1.17.001 thanks for trying to help figure this out.

Sent asset traker file. If I Uninstall and reinstall BTS are there any Hidden or registry parts to delete in addition to the uninstall? I may try that as a last resort. I hate to as Mod 3-13 works as advertized just not 1.17.001
