In South Africa, the term "coloured" is usually used to refer to those of mixed race or the original Khoisan peoples. Officially, Indians were regarded as part of the "Asian" racial group under the Apartheid regime, though I don't think everybody used the same terms. Perhaps South Africa's...

I originally come from South Africa, and if you're ever in the country you might visit the Cape Town area - it's beautiful around there with the wineries, Stellenbosch, etc. Just be careful - crime's a big problem in SA.

Problem solved! It wasn't CvScreensInterface that was causing all the trouble. I recruited the help of 2K Technical Support and after a few days of correspondence, during which I sent them a DxDiag text file, they presented me with a solution: download Microsoft Visual C++ 2005, which I...

Strange that it got corrupted - took good care of the disc. Oh well, thanks again for the help.

Okay, here are the files. I don't have the "SynchLog" option (perhaps because we're using different versions?), but otherwise I followed your instructions to the letter. I think I might know what the problem is. After I'd won the conquest victory (following your instructions), it said it...

I've just started a new game and retired the next turn, and it's still not saving the replays properly. I don't understand.

I know this is a strange request, but can anyone post a link in this thread to the file of a saved game saved just before - preferably one turn before - the player wins that game? Then I could finish the game and see if my computer saves the replay file right this time. The file would have to be...

Okay, I'll reinstall now. Thanks very much for your patience, ori. BTW, by "BtS" do you mean Beyond the Sword? I don't have that installed anyway.

I only have the mods that come with the game (American Revolution, Desert War, Greek World, Tutorial), and I never use them. I do have the replay files in my Replays folder - they just don't show up in the Hall of Fame screen. If I double-click on one of the files, the game runs and takes me...

Yes, there is a folder My Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\Replays, and the files in it are not set to read-only. The Replays folder itself is set to read-only, but the strange thing is, even if I uncheck the read-only box, apply the changes and close the Properties window, when I...

I'm running the latest version of Civ4 (1.74) on my computer. Everything works fine, except that when I win a game, which I did just now, it doesn't record my victory on the Hall of Fame screen. I've even tried reloading my game one turn before I win and winning it again, and it still doesn't...

I agree with Mr. Reynolds about the multiplayer thing. It's cool if it's in, of course, but it doesn't really have a place in Civ. I've tried a bit of multiplayer in Civ3 PtW - alright, so it wasn't implemented as well in that expansion as it is in Civ4 - and it just didn't seem to fit. The...

Well, it certainly seems like ToT is more popular than MGE - at least, from this poll. I wonder why ToT received such relatively poor reviews compared to the other Civ2 titles. It could be that people expected more from the final stand-alone product bearing the Civ2 name. Can't say - still...

Nuts! I liked the movies and throne room and high council. Oh well, I guess it doesn't detract from the actual gameplay, but they were cool to look at. (I can be picky about my eyecandy.) Might get the game soon - keep putting it off.

But they're still present if you play the original version within ToT, I hope?

In Civ4 you can't improve your palace. :sad: Why, oh why? I tried Civ1 again the other day - surpasses everything else of its time.

I've only seriously played the original version. I've played MGE a few times, but it wasn't my copy. ToT should be interesting to try.

Wow! Nice layout. Could do with a few more articles, though. I'll see what I can do to help. (Perhaps my reply is too late?)

Somehow the ability to kill multiple units in a stack outside a city makes strategic sense to me. What I can't stand about Civ1 are the graphics - and I'm not usually that vain when it comes to computer games. But I still think that Civ2 is a vast improvement over Civ1. This is not...

Huh? *SvenSlayer kicks himself at once again having to reveal his ignorance.* (I prefer chocolate myself.) Edit: Oh wait! Do you mean the standard version of Civ2?
