Just upgraded from a 2011 Win7 laptop to a modern Win10 laptop. I'd like to install Civ4+BTS+the BugMod. I have all the original install discs, but before I start a Bronze Age war with Sitting Bull, I'm looking for recommendations on best way to proceed. I started to install from CD, but...

I accidentally settled a Great General in a city (misclick). I went into World Builder, but I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to delete it. I ended up reloading, but I'd appreciate it if someone could tell me how to remove settled Great People from cities (if possible). Thanks in...

I recently found myself trying to win a culture game and needing to get Japan to friendly (Immortal Pangaea map). There was a massive ice sheet near Japan, so I started to create and gift cities. Out of shear curiosity, I ended up giving him 8 cities that had zero resources (pure ice)...

Hey Folks -- I normally play standard_size/normal_speed/domination/conquest Immortal Pangaea maps, which means Tech Trading is important. In an attempt to improve my strategy, I'd like to learn a little more about tech trading limits. Basically, I'm a trading whore. Unless I'm avoiding a...

I having trouble spreading Sid's Sushi in BTS3.19. The Executives won't autospread, and when I try to manually do it, I can't. I'm not in Communism or Mercentalism. Restarting Civ didn't solve the problem. I've had this problem in previous games as well. I'm playing a fully patched game...

Hey Folks - I'm looking for some advice on how to leverage the Oracle on Immortal/Pangaea/StandardSpeed style maps (ps - I'm a warmonger). I rarely go for the Oracle because it takes me down a tech path I don't use (religion) while slowing early expansion, but every now and then, I have a...

So I'm playing DeGaul on an immortal standard size normal speed pangea map. I don't have stone, and I'm busy killing off Hannibal. At 700AD, I notice no one has built the Mids. So a few chops later in Carthage, and bingo. Ramesses was the only other industrious leader, but jeeze...

I looking for ideas on how to get to Astronomy fast by managing the Tech path and a few judicious bulbs. Assume an Immortal Standard Fractal Map Normal Speed (couple of continents). Assume Dutch (basically I want to rock some East Indiaman) Assume you don't get the Oracle Typically I'll...

So, after playing a OCC, I went back to a regular game. I'm playing along, thinking, wow, Joao is really Rex'ing with no pressure on the economy, and I haven't even mined those jungle gems, and the barbs are not putting any pressure on me, and why do I have to tech alphabet when I normally...

I play Immortal warmonger maps, but I thought I'd give a OCC shot for a change. My question is: How do you win, other than Diplomacy? I've read a few strategy guides in the War Academy, but at any reasonable difficulty, there is no way you'll win Space, Domination, or Conquest. Is there...

Every now and then I create a colony. I started keeping track, and 8 of the last 10 times, it's been America (all 3 leaders). This seems randomly implausible (I haven't tracked what other civs were present in my game, which I need to do, but I know in several cases, the USA wasn't present)...

I usually play Immortal Pangaea maps, but I've been experimenting with creating a colony on the archipelagos that you find offshore sometimes (mostly for fun, but also to deny the AI places where I can't nail them and keep barbs at bay). I have no trouble creating a colony - 2 cities on an...

Hey folks - I play BtS 3.19 on Immortal. Like everyone, I hate Barb Galleys and do my best to spawn bust, but when the AI leads a galley into my territory, I gotta throw down. I usually take the Drill 1 promotion, but I thought I'd pose that question to the experts. Assuming I only play...

I just upgraded my (new) Thinkpad T420 from 2GB-->8GB of RAM. The game ran well before the upgrade, but now it gets laggy after about 2minutes, and the CPU fan kicks into overdrive. If I minimize the game (eg: open Firefox), things return to normal, which makes me wonder if there is some...

Hey Folks - I'm looking for some laptop recommendations. My good laptop (Thinkpad T60p) is toast - literally. The fan broke and the video chip burned out. I haven't even looked at hardware in 4 years, so I don't know the current state. Anyway, I need to buy a new budget laptop (<$800...
