Posting this in case it's of help to someone else. Had a very odd crash, only over the last few days, after a Windows 10 update and an NVIDIA driver update. I run multiple screens: Civ on one screen (full screen) and browsers, guides, Discord (for multiplayer) on the other. When clicking...

Yesterday, as I walking into a garage in our apartment complex, I saw my mother walking towards me. She said hello and I replied, but I was quite shocked - as my mother had died in 2009. Then I realized it was actually a neighbor, half her age, who was walking towards me. And though only her...

Proposal: Let’s have an achievement challenge event – “ACE” – say once a week. Although similar in some ways to the Gauntlet and Game of the Month challenges that already exist for other games, in this case we would be completing additional Steam-like achievements but without any Steam...

The civ/leader-specific Steam achievements vary from the trivial (e.g. All Roads Lead to Rome - Build a road with a Roman Legion) to the tedious (e.g. Ruler of the Seas - As Elizabeth, sink and destroy 357 enemy naval units, across any number of playthroughs). Some are easy, some are harder...

Happy Halloween! Anyone noticed how the "razing" icon :c5razing: looks like a pumpkin? Anyway, every year I read a lot of... er... "unsubstantiated material" (= misinformation, assumptions or just plain lies) on the so-called history of Halloween, and I'm reminded of this quiz, composed at...

A month ago I played the HOF Gauntlet #1 (Arabia/Prince/Standard/Continents) for a cultural victory. Part way through I found I got kind of bored and, as a result, distracted, and won with turns in the 300s rather than in the 200s that I'd done previously. Since then I’ve played at higher...

When it is a Great General's turn to move, white wavy "build road" recommendations appear on nearby hexes. Presumably the recommendation system is looking for a non-combat unit rather than specifically a worker. No such action option occurs alongside his move. Coincident with this, a city...

Hi guys. It's a long time since I've posted here, though I'm glad to see the archives still include my name. I just thought I would share with my old friends a discovery that I've made. It may be old news to you, in which case please forgive the intrusion and just ignore this thread. On the...

TAKE THIS QUIZ FIRST AND FIND OUT. Then vote above and post your result if you want to. I'm a dragon and my 'Q' score is 8. Dragon types are charismatic leaders. They exude confidence and optimism and thrive on competition. They are progressive and expansive, socially oriented, and eager...

I'm just starting a band and I'll need a name for it. Maybe you guys can help me think of one. These are the rules: 1. It must be original. 2. It must be easy to spell right just from hearing it. 3. It mustn't be too long. 4. If you check the name on a search engine now, the name must get...

Let's have a Civ 1 quiz. Here are the rules: * First of all you have to answer the current question correctly before anyone else does. Wait for the question setter to confirm you're right. * If you manage that, you win the right to post your own question. * All questions must be Civ 1...

Just 13 nights to go before Halloween so it seems a good time to post a poll about it. Around this time of year, my American wife starts getting withdrawal symptons because in England, where we live, Halloween is a much more low-key event than in the US. To compensate a little, she runs a...

The Civ1 Forum rules are the same as for the other forums. You can read these here. However you should make especial note of this rule: What does this mean in the Civ1 Forum? It means you must not post links to sites where you think Civ1 can be downloaded. CivFanatics takes the view that...

Take a look at this! :eek:

There have been many acts of humble heroism since the morning of the 11th of September 2001. Most of these will go unsung, but these heros and their deeds are not diminished just because their names are not on the lips of a world's public. There are those who have lived and those who have...
