Hi mastrude, Bear in mind that it's been the better part of a decade since release, so folks are not as active around these parts as they used to be. :) You might want to try posting in the Fall From Heaven 2 bug thread. It's possible folks there might still be around and able to help you...

It does. Thanks! :)

I should have mentioned I play multiplayer exclusively (with tech trading off), not single player. In multiplayer Monasteries are usually a very good investment in your high science cities. :)

Being able to build multiple different Monasteries, though, often is worth it - at least in your highest science cities. For me this is usually at least my capital, with Bureaucracy and an Academy. I'll often find all the cities in my empire to which different religions have spread, and build...

I've seen the AI build Privateers on Noble, so I'm pretty sure it's not difficulty specific. They never build them in significant numbers though, so you only ever see individual roamers as opposed to stacks of AI Privateers. :) In multiplayer games between human players, Privateers are...

As of a week or two ago, certain Gamespy servers relevant to Direct IP and Pitboss were shut down, which has resulted in players bouncing off each other when trying to connect simultaneously to a Direct IP or Pitboss game. One of the forum members at Realms Beyond has worked out a fix for the...

It sounds like you may have tried to install an earlier patch while you had a later one already installed. Probably the best solution is to uninstall and reinstall. Remember if your version of Civ4 was purchased after 2006-2007, you probably already have the latest patch included by default in...

One of the forum members at Realms Beyond has worked out a fix for the problem of 2+ players connecting to a Direct IP or Pitboss game simultaneously without requiring a VPN. All you need to do is to configure the "hosts" file on your system to redirect connection attempts to the Gamespy natneg...

So this is why I haven't been getting PM or staff notifications since January. I thought I had my filters set up wrong or something - but apparently not. This is a pretty big issue for a forum to have for half a year...

With Scout + Warrior you still have the issue that if two or more players want to explore with both units (which is a reasonable decision), you can still end up with one player being eliminated or severely set back early on. I'd recommend everyone starting with Scouts, but it's up to you. :)...

Copy your "normal" Fall From Heaven shortcut. Rename the new version "EitB" or whatever you prefer. Right click the shortcut and click "Properties". Under the "Shortcut" tab, make the following changes: Target: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\Beyond the...

The Realms Beyond community has a highly active base of Civ4 multiplayer fans across all skill levels (from newbies to veterans), with over 100 completed Civ4 multiplayer games between them - including 65 BTS PBEM's, 32 Fall From Heaven PBEM's, and 17 BTS Pitboss games. We currently have 4...

I understand it's possible to tinker with the game to get Direct IP working again, but it would still be far preferable if 2K can restore the functionality to Steam users by default. Not all players are willing or able to fiddle with their game files to re-enable Direct IP, and some Pitboss...

Good to know. Still, it would be nice if 2K/Steam recognized that it's much nicer to just make Direct IP available on all versions of the game, rather than to force people to fiddle about with their games to re-enable the setting.

That sounds like it only works if you haven't yet installed the Steam version? In any event, it would be nice if 2K/Steam recognized that it's much nicer to just make Direct IP available on all versions of the game, rather than to force people to fiddle about with their games to re-enable the...
