    Re/Deinstalling impossibe

    Here's my problem: DVD version of CIV. Could install without any problems. Game runs fine (well, not great, since it's a 1.5GHz laptop - but it works without any real problems, just a bit slow on standard+ maps). No Gfx issues. But: I cannot patch. Regardless of the patch# or source, it's...

    German Ads???

    Notice I recently see lots of German banner ads, like Q-DSL, freenet or Jamba!. Just OOC, is everyone getting them, or does Ugo check for user locations now and displays localized ads?

    The "list" function

    IMHO the current list function is a bit limiting. Not the 'pure' list, that one is fine - but the numerical or alphabetic feature [ list=1] Yadda Xadda [ /list] gives: Yadda Xadda That doesn't seem very handy to me; IMHO [ list] [1] or [a] etc [2] [ /list] like in...

    "Boulevard of Broken Songs"

    I just stumbled over this great mash-up (scroll down a bit until you find Green Day)...and I always wondered why this song seemed so familar to my ears :lol:. http://www.partyben.com/downloads/ Curious if Oasis gets some $$$ as well. :crazyeye: That's really as bad as the 4 Non...

    WltKDs, again?

    Seems like the corruption wizards are no longer available... Question: How exactly does the WltKD work? (in c3c) Everything including Alexman's articles and the discussion there assumes WltkD would act like another CH (in other words, -10%, increase of OCN for that city), but affecting...

    The formerly blind, now only shortsighted Rodents - part 3.

    Ok, you wished for it, here it is: Demigod; very first start taken. And Germany it is. 70% water continents, mid-level everything, random Civs. AI opponents turned out as: Maya Japan Rome France Babylon Egypt Russia The Start And since there is one obvious Worker...

    What should I vote?

    Today, we have elections for the Ministerpräsident in North Rhine/ Westphalia, Germanies by far biggest state. Needless to say, this is a pretty crucial one, with NRW being the last Bundesland at all with a Red/Green Gov... Now, I really don't know who I should vote for. A situation...

    "Seven Holy Cities of Islam"?

    I'm just trying to get some info about Timbuktu, and in nearly every article in the net about this city, it gets attributed as being one of the "seven holy cities of Islam". Now, I remember when I visited Kairouan on a Tunesia trip some years ago, this city also referred to being one of those...

    On Holocaust denial...

    I just stumbled about the fact Holocaust denial is not illegal in GB, and David Irving was never convicted for his claims. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holocaust_denial ) As you can see, GB and the US are not in this list. A scandal...when will they ever learn from history...

    Music.txt files?

    In C3C, Firaxis introduced the music.txt files for their conquests; only the music files specified there will get played in that particular scenario (in WW2 Pacific, you start with the Modern music etc). Now, the unwanted sideeffect of that change is: If you include the conquests in the...

    Regent Strategy?

    (No Joke!) Seriously, I have problems to play mid-level games effectively. Had to learn the hard way by failing miserably in some CotMs... I never played C3C below Emperor, and I became too dependant on the AI for trading :mad:. But, on Regent the AI has no gp to offer. They don't research...

    Should Turkey be allowed to join the EU or not?

    Since I seem to be they only person on Earth who actually thinks this will help the EU immensely, I'd like to hear some discussion. First, what is the 'EU' supposed to be? In general, there are two possible concepts: 1) The United States of Europe This idea revolves around a...

    'Sid' title?

    As one of the few who never changed the 'title' or 'rank' below my user name, I wonder what you think about a rank above 'Deity'? Maybe with 2500 posts, or 5000? Sorry if that's been suggested for umpteenth times before, never saw a thread about it ;).

    What if the US goes against Iran?

    *Please abstain from any bashing here, neither on the "US Imperialists" or the "Euro Weasels" or "corrupted UN". I'd just like to hear your opinions in case of a not that unlikely What-if Scenario!* When I listen to the news, and remember what was said a year ago, I do not think it is so much...

    Fastest Wins?

    Is there a list of the fastest wins for all victory conditions somewhere? Obviously tiny Pangea conquest isn't that interesting, but 20k/100k/Diplo/Space is something I'd like to see.

    Muhammad's religion?

    This is something I try to find out since some time - what religion had the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)originally (like Jesus was a Jew)? All I could find was something like "The Arabs were mostly polytheists at that time", but nothing about Muhammad (PBUH) himself. Maybe I'm completely wrong...

    List of banned/allowed exploits for CotMs?

    Title says it all; all I can find is the GotM list. Any changes for c3c? Quite a number of loopholes where closed, but maybe new ones were found/banned...

    'Duel Masters' add

    This add prevents the page from loading for several minutes; there seems to be some applet running (that doesn't work with W98?). Also, I consider it highly annoying when right-clicking on the add doesn't give you infos, but sends you to the target side.
