Where the heck can I find info like the bonus a Spearman gets against calvalry in the Civilopedia? I just see the normal base strength but not the bonus that occur when fighting against a specific unit type.

Can my traders get captured/killed? I ask because mine disappeared and, unlike with settlers, I didn't see an option to "link" a protective escort unit to it. Am I missing something?

Just scored a victory yet it is not showing the the Hall of Fame. Why isn't it? How do I fix this? Did this occur because I was using a mod?

I am quite confused about something. My civilization currently has 7 fully developed gold mines (spread across 4 cities) that I am actively working. When I go to the trade screen to trade luxury resources I am only able to trade 4 of these 7 gold resources. Why? Can you only trade one of...

2K Greg (or anyone that knows), can the new G&K baroque "skin" be turned off in favor of the original art deco theme?

Firaxis was nice enough to provide hover tips indicating the happiness impacts of annexation vs puppeting vs. razing a city when first conquered. But if I puppet a city and then go to to the annexation screen on a later turn those hover tips no longer appear. Is there no way to see the...

New to SMAC. I've yet to find a way to view the full tech-tree in SMAC? At best I can just view one tech at a time and then click to link to subsequent techs. Is that the extent of the viewing options in-game? Is the only way to view the full tree via PDF's?

Heck yeah: http://www.gog.com/en/news/gog_com_s_catalog_gets_huge_with_addition_of_classic_ea_titles Let's just hope it includes Alien Crossfire. See post #4 in this thread for a link to buy the game.

Does EA own the publishing rights for SMAC/SMAX? If so does that mean that if good old games works out a deal with them to sell their back catalog (as was announced as a possibility this week) that we might actually see a nice DRM-free, fully functional Windows 7 release of this game? Or would...

Just ordered SMAC (with SMAX) from Amazon. The Sold Out Software distribution. I let the autorun installer run, click install, and then nothing happens. I've also tried directly running the setup.exe file from the CD (with administrator privileges) and nothing happens as well. Any tips?

Sorry for the stupid question. Experienced Civ IV player, but new to Civ V. I have a plantation built on a spice resource that is within my city's area of influence which I am led to believe from the hover info should create +5 happiness for my civilization. However, when I hover over the...

I want to learn how to design websites. I studied computer engineering for 4 years so I've coded in a variety of languages but I've never specifically done web design. Within the realm of web design I just don't know where to start. I guess my main questions are: 1. Do professional...

I noticed in the social policy tree two of the policy categories are "Liberty" and "Freedom". Can someone please explain to me the difference between these two terms? Firaxis, what is the point of having two category names with meanings that are so similar?

I'd love to get my hands on a download of Imperialism II. I am very willing to pay money for it but it does not seem to be offered on Steam, Direct2Drive, GamersGate, GoG.com or even for free on Abandonia. Does anyone know where I can obtain a legitimate, virus-free downloadable copy of this...

Multi-player newbie with a quick question: Is it possible to start a multi-player game using DirectIP and then later switch to using PBEM to complete that game? Just seems like PBEM would be super annoying in the early rounds when there isn't much action per turn so my thought was to start with...

I've played CivIV for quite some time now but still haven't played multiplayer. I am ready to start playing games with a friend of mine. I believe the best way to play a multiplayer game, in real-time, with someone I know is to use the DirectIP option. Can someone please explain to me what I...

I extend a desperate plea for help to my fellow civfanatics who like to analyze what others are doing wrong and teach poor souls like myself how to step up their Civ IV skills. In a nutshell, I've been playing Civ IV for over a year now. I've read a million strategy articles, I am...

I thought I heard somewhere that the GamePro issue with the Civ V preview wasn't going to be available on newsstands until March 9th. Yet someone has already posted details of the preview here in this forum. Is this issue of GamePro available already? If so where can a non-subscriber pick it...

On the iPhone CivRev is there a way, from within an active game, to view the civilization bonuses for both your own civilization and your opponents? It seems like the only place to see this is when you are choosing your leader/civ pre-game. Am I wrong?

Is Civ IV Complete fully compatible with Windows 7? I haven't seen this officially proclaimed anywhere. I have no problems running Civ IV Complete on my Vista machine but I just want to make sure it is compatible on Win 7 before pulling the trigger.
