I have been getting this error ever since I installed Brave New World: It always happens right before a leaderhead loads, but not consistently. I have tried setting my video options for leaderheads to minimum, but this does not seem to work. If I am correct, at the minimum video option, the...

The Zulu have been confirmed, as I am sure many of you already know. Leader: Shaka Zulu Unique Ability: Melee units cost 50% less maintenance; all units receive 25% more experience Unique Unit (Impi): Replaces pikeman, strike twice when attacking: first at range, then at melee. Unique Building...

I just bought the Civilization IV Complete Edition through Steam. I downloaded all the material that comes with it (Civilization IV, Warlords, Beyond the Sword, and Colonization) on my Windows 7 PC. I tried to start up Warlords and got an error saying "Failed to find Steam". This only happened...

Just a few thoughts on the subject: Songhai: The Songhai's Unique Unit lacks the penalty for attacking cities from the Knights they replace. Although they are now cheaper, the fact that cities are much stronger and armies need siege units to soften them up means that the Mandekalu Cavalry have...

About a year ago, snarzberry posted a strategy for civs with Knight-replacements that involved rushing to Chivalry and getting a ton of Knight units before turn 90. I have found it really useful for early warmongering and Wainy has even made an LP based on it. But, with changes to technology...

I would go with Norway. It is a pretty country naturally and they have good desserts. :goodjob:

The largest secularist gathering in human history, the Reason Rally aims to celebrate atheist/agnostic pride. Speakers include Richard Dawkins (Author of The Selfish Gene, The Blind Watchmaker, The God Delusion, The Greatest Show on Earth, and more; Founder of the Richard Dawkins Foundation for...

This is assuming we are on Prince without any serious "cooking". I have only ever been able to win in around the 1900s. What is a standard time for a cultural victory with these conditions?

This had been an argument in one of the main game's thread, and I wanted to continue the discussion here. So, what are your opinions on this? I know the Catholic Church suppressed a lot of scientists during the Renaissance. But Islam actually supported science in the Middle Ages.

Just out of curiosity, what political ideologies do my fellow civvers follow? Liberal, conservative, or independent?

What will the new CS state types (religious and mercantile) do? Also, which City-States would you like to see in each category? I think this makes sense: Mercantile: -Zurich -Antwerp (confirmed) -Bactria -Hong Kong -Macau -Dubai Religious: -Vatican City -Jerusalem -Qufu -Lhasa (already in as...

I want to make a trait for a Morocco civilization that would give +4 science in the capital for each trade route. How would I do this using LUA?

This might be a bit tricky. I want a Great Merchant Replacement to have this ability: When it performs a trade mission in a maritime CS, you should be able to add 1 population point in a city of your choice (a list of cities should pop up and you should be prompted to choose one).

I think an "Isolated Island Start Map Option" would be a great new map option. It allows players to play in a way that they won't get bothered in the early game (which many find annoying) but can still expand if they want to. What do you guys think?

Which civs is best for ICS and why? Here is my opinion: India: Best ICS civ in the long run -After 6 population points, the 50% :c5unhappy: from population outweighs the 200% :c5unhappy: from number of cities. -The Mughal fort has good synergy with Professional Army France: -The UA allows for...

Just out of curiosity, what faith do you fellow civers follow?

Could some of the higher-level players give me some tips on how to attempt this? Basically what I want to do is achieve a cultural victory by puppeting tons of cities. I plan to play on Prince and win as early as possible. I would assume Songhai France (maybe Rome and Egypt too) would be the...

I suspect China will be the largest economy by 2050. U.s. is 2nd and India is 3rd. But after that? What are your thoughts.

I find that Civilization V can be quite an educational game:goodjob: For example, I learned that: 1) It is impossible to cross mountains. (Aspeners won't be happy) 2) Culture is measured in points that increase with things such as opera houses and broadcast towers. 3) These culture points...
