    Is it currently possible to play DoC in Linux?

    Hi to all! I used to hang around here in the 1.15 era. Last weekend there was a Civ VI free-to-play weekend. I tried out VI and it just made me nostalgic for [civ4]+DoC... :lol: It's great to see the mod is alive and well. Many thanks to Leoreth for your ongoing and generous development...

    What is the correct encoding for Python files?

    What is the correct encoding for Python files in BTS/RFC please? I'm trying to edit the RFCEMaps.py file in RFC Europe. I get error messages that I suspect are caused by an incorrect language encoding.

    Why is the Greek debt crisis seen as a Euro problem?

    This is a question that's been bothering me for a few weeks. It is, as Paul Krugman would say, wonkish. Why is the Greek debt crisis seen as a Euro problem? That is: why is Greek debt more important for the Euro than British or Icelandic debt? If Greece defaults on its debt, that's bad...

    Removing Possible Battery Acid

    My DVD remote control has stopped working, and the battery compartment has a white powdery substance in it. Although it's possible a room-mate has dropped it in the flour or something, I assume this is battery acid or a by-product. What's the best way to remove it without damaging the remote...

    Simple formatting problem in Python pathnames

    I think I have made a formatting mistake in Python, probably missing out a quotation mark or a slash. But I don't know what I'm doing, so I've included some context. (Backstory: I am trying to make the EusebiusWorldReligions-Revival mod work on Civ 4 Complete-Warlords. Python fails to...

    How can I temporarily disable Civ?

    I enjoy playing Civ IV.... on my day off. The problem is how to stop playing it from Sunday to Monday. :rolleyes: At the moment, I play Warlords, and it's a simple matter of giving the CD to my flatmate, who hides it in his room. However, at some point I'd like to gain access to the...

    Help with in-game screenshots on the forum

    I've taken some screenshots using the CIV in-game capture facility. I've attached them into a Stories & Tales thread here. However, they seem much smaller than other's people's screenshots in Stories & Tales. The main images are about the same size as the thumbnails. I think the pictures...
