    End of Dark Ages!!!

    I found this mod and played through with the HRE, and all went well. It looked just the kind of mod that could be replayed numerous times. I tried it with England (and later with France, Scotland and others) and have come across the same bug as people above. With England, Scotland, and France...

    Queen of the Iceni

    Unfortunately, my mod browser never downloads... just says 'error' and 'mouseover for details'. Mousing over produces no details. Any chance of getting it hosted for those of us with this problem? :)

    Enormous choice of buildings and units

    Let's be honest here - there really aren't many buildings, there are just a few archetypes with minor variations on the upkeep versus the output. I find the notion of specialising a city in Civ 5 to be a laugh compared to previous games in the series considering the blandness of tile yield now...

    Why does anyone care if CivIV is more complex than Civ V or visa-versa?

    2 days with the game here and it seems readily apparent that Civ 5 is barely even a skeleton of the depth of gameplay offered by Civ 4. Considering that the civ series has always maintained a huge fanbase precisely because of the depth of play and scale of the game, this seems to be a very poor...

    Civilization 5 and Steam(works)

    My opinion isn't reflected in a poll option. I will definitely buy the game - it's Civ, and I bought all the others and have always loved them. I am disappointed that steam is being used, and I am especially disappointed that steam pre-orders will receive an extra civ and...

    1300 AD on GEM

    Sorry I haven't played the mod yet. I've got it downloaded but no time to play. I just wanted to make a quick comment that there was no such thing as Thailand until 1939 -then it went back to Siam for another 10 years before finally becoming Thailand again in 1949. Given the time of the start...

    MTech: Expanding the Ages

    This is a really great idea. One question that springs to mind though: if you are going to go to all this work to put the tech tree in, wouldn't it be worth it to also adapt the tech tree to a more temporally suitable one? The tree could be expanded to follow the centuries of colonisation...

    The 3.13 Blues

    I had a UK version of BtS that got scratched up so I went to look for it in Bangkok, where I live, and could only find the Civilization 4: Complete edition. Looking at the "build" in game shows: Civ Version 313 Save Version 301 Build Version 3.0.0.1 Build: FINAL RELEASE When I go to the...

    Disabling the game start up movie?

    Having had loads of problems with FfH, I have narrowed it down to a single issue I think will solve everything. My only problem is the initial movie the mod tries to run when the game starts up. I get the binkw32.dll problem. Disabling all movies in options works round this error. The...

    Proper Installation

    Due to my UK version of BTS getting scratched, I had to buy Civilization IV Complete here in Thailand. The retail release is already 3.13 and no patches are available through the game update function. I installed the new FfH in: D:\Games\Civ4\Beyond the Sword\Mods D is my games drive...

    FfH2 0.31 Bug Thread

    Thanks for the suggestion jwin, but I think that's not going to help. As I said, I installed the game to a non-default directory. D:\Games\Civ4 My shortcut target is "D:\Games\Civ4\Beyond the Sword\Civ4BeyondSword.exe" And I put FfH into D:\Games\Civ4\Beyond the Sword\Mods...

    FfH2 0.31 Bug Thread

    From the Known Issues in the original post by Kael: "2. The mod loads okay, but when you go to start a game it crashes. You experience this error if you aren't running BtS patch 3.13." Due to my UK copy of BTS getting scratched, I had to buy Civilization IV complete here in Thailand. It...

    "No Leaderheads" Option to speed late-game diplomacy requests.

    While I have no such problems whatsoever, this could be a useful and easy to implement fix for people with lower end specs. It would go in the graphics options easily, where you select multiple troop units etc.

    Philosophical/Industrious

    You are still mistaken... we were clearly talking about whether Industrious was useful because you can get Stone/Marble. Anyone can go and verify that in seconds. My point prior to your off-the-cuff attack was that you can't be guaranteed to get stone and marble in the game, but choosing...

    Stupid mistakes you have made

    Both Representation and Religious civics after Shwedagon..... I've gone many turns thinking.... "there's something I've forgotten!" Other times I've gone for specific troop types before realising that I didn't hold the needed resource.... when you play a lot, games tend to blur together a...

    I am Ashamed.

    No one called you a cheater..... Is the OP cheating? Yes of course he is - intentionally manipulating elements outside of the game rules to detract from his enemies and boost his potential - of course that's cheating.... is that a value judgement? No it isn't! :goodjob: Do whatever...

    Philosophical/Industrious

    I'm sorry, but you clearly wanted to bait someone... You're claiming that I can't know if it is statistically overpowered (i.e. how often it happens through normal game mechanics) based on the fact that I am using the actual game mechanics to play it rather than stacking the cards in my...

    Silly behavoir from the AI

    Basically, you have chosen to not enter into diplomatic relations with these people and you have to pay the price. You can give the AI what they want when they demand and it will make them like you more and then not demand from you..... you can enter into fake wars with them - you declare but...
