Hm, I can only think of "ho gap liu" if you want to use "gap" (or "kap") as a meaning of "fast" :)

OMG, another LUEser here. MSTK, can I request a conquest map of the famous three trinity members? At least one of them should be easy to make...ahem.

Ok everyone, the issue has been solved. Indeed it only worked under chinese XP. Yesterday my wife started her very first game (as the Chinese of course, sigh) with me as the advisor :), and from now on, I am also forced to play the chinese version. No big problem except when it comes to trading...

@Commander Bello Welcome to check both options :) You are right about the combat values - I completely forgot about the Barbarian issue. In case he gets no attack/defense stats, he should always travel along with eg a warrior. On contact, the AI could automatically determine the Translator and...

Quick thing that just popped into my mind; how can one civilization comunicate with another before the discovery of Writing? Sure you can learn a language without beeing able to write by just oral communication, but come on. A civ should at least have one library in one city to communicate...

Got you with that one right? ;) I just thought once Civ IV finally shipped, we could all post our very first starting points here - the first time we loaded it up, on the first map we played. See you next year then :)

Using the regional and language settings together w/ the asian font pack, writing under XP, Office (Word, Excel, etc) in chinese is no problem. My wife uses that for her work for example. Also we have some chinese games installed which work without problem. I'v even tried using the special...

A quick update: I found the chinese version packed with PTW and Conquests in a local shop. One problem solved. Quite cheap also, HKD 390 which is roughly US$ 50 for the whole lot. So I had to uninstall my own english versions (I know you can run 2 different Civs on one PC but I couldn't find the...

@blind ryan Can you tell me more about that? @laconic That site looks very interesting, thanks alot!! I can't read chinese myself but my wife surely can make things out. Looks like those are all indeed authorized language patches, I hope it will solve the problem.

@starrider Yes, I've tried both eBay Taiwan and Hong Kong, but there were no results so far (only for english language versions). @davidcrazy Guess that'll be the only way left to choose. I've emailed fireaxis yesterday and await their reply first, in case they can still name me a source...

Yes I could contact them directly, but there would only be the usual options. It could be somewhat more interacting to expose them directly and get his reaction. Will he cowardly say sorry because he actually only has one Privateer and plays big boy and offer luxuries/gold/technology, or stand...

Ack! Sorry and thanks for moving!

It really makes me angry when my fully loaded transport gets shot down by an unknown civilization's unit. So i recently started to escort them - but instead of shooting down that Privateer (I think it was), I followed it back to its harbor, and I knew it belonged to Korea. And nothing happened...

I've read this somewhere else before, but I think it didn't get mentioned here on civfanatics yet. Also, I have extended it a bit: Tunnels! How about building tunnels and canals? This could be useful in 2 situations: - Sometimes if you play archipelago, and the islands are just one square...

OK, this is my first post here, but I've been lurking for quite a while now. Been playing Civ in the glorious Amiga days in Germany, then moved to Hong Kong in 1997 and just recently re-discovered it for the PC. I have Civ III Gold and Conquests, both US versions. My wife is chinese, and...
