Can someone remind me about the mechanics around what happens if a civ you are at war with becomes someone else's vassal? Does that put you at war with the master, or force peace with the vassal (assuming that your pre-vassal state with the master was peace)? Although can the new vassal civ...

I've been AWOL a while, and sorry if this was all figured out in some long lost thread while I was gone ... When I was last here a Steam update (the one that went with the death of GameSpy, if I recall correctly) cracked several things, not the least being HOF mod compatibility, which ruined...

I thought it might be worth it to assess the damage. It is a multiple choice poll, pick one yes to all or pick up to one no answer for each version. For each version (vanilla, warlords, BTS) I see two ways to be trashed: You only have steam, and that is busted, OR you have Steam and disk...

I am trying to help out what looks like a new forum member who can't get BTS to install over vanilla civ that he has via Civ Chronicles. He's posted in the tech support area at http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?p=13258851#post13258851 If anyone here has some insights, join us in...

Hi all, No patch thread here? well, see http://forums.civfanatics.com/showpost.php?p=10599681&postcount=1 and http://forums.civfanatics.com/showpost.php?p=10603835&postcount=1 I've seen several commmets that the changes are substantial, and this will be a whole new game. One...

Picked up civ 4 complete on the cheap from steam, downloaded it all and the one game that won't run is Warlords. The others work fine. I get a message that the game can't find steam. I have done a steam fix and a verify steam files at the advice of steam support, no change in problem. Did a...

I finally decided to give an immortal game a whirl, at quick pace, and had some observations that may be relevant to going immortal in the TGS. Playing China, did my usual balanced build approach (mix of units and buildings), founded two additional cities. Assembled my longswords, archers...

Hi All, New patch out today, but it seems that the Deluxe edition users can't load up old saves after the install. So far it seems ok for Standard edition users (stay tuned), but still if you have games to complete, especially the training series, you might want to turn off auto-update...

I played a little of each today ... the current BOTM and the TSG2 from the Game of the Month Forum. I noticed a difference that may explain some of the complaints about play feeling like hitting end turn and doing very little. Civ IV just feels more nimble, more flexible. Like a sleek ship...

We don't have enough polls here (ok, my nose is growing), so I thought I would add another one. A bit tongue in cheek, but it might be interesting. dV

In view of the various criticisms and bug reports regarding Civ 5, and in particular the poll on Civ 5 being “dumbed down”, I thought it might be useful to poll folks in a way that tries to categorize the criticism in a constructive way might help speed a resolution of some issues...

Well, with the apparent ease of the walkovers in TSG1, I'd suggest we bump to prince and take an excursion through the tech tree, with either space or culture victory targeted for TSG2. Or diplo I suppose, but I still haven't figured out exactly how voting works there (is it all about getting...

Hopefully, someone can tell me the trick to viewing replays? I have files generated by games in the replay folder. The won't open from the folder since windows doesn't know what program to use. With a digital download version from steam, I can't find an executable file for Civ 5 on my C...

Can't figure a way to get screenshots for Civ 5 Use print screen ... no box to name it (like Civ IV had). But it does get put in the screeshot folder, but as a .tga file, and nothing on my computer can open it. Use print screen, copy into paint ... all I get is a solid black box filling...

My primary issue here is about how to save games. If I chose save, and am online, I can pick steam cloud, where apparently I have 10 or so slots, but I can't enter a save name, I can hit save and it names it with the leader I am playing. If I try to save not in the Steam Cloud, I can't...

Steam (which is not yet done unlocking) is showing me a Civ V button and a Civ V Direct X 9 button) ... ? Is one the demo, and one the real game? Or is it an option to play the full game at two different direct X levels? What are the implication of selecting one or the other? Thanks...

The title speaks for itself ... :confused: . :crazyeye: Or am I just not seeing it? :old: dV

Browsing in Rev land to see about getting Revolutions for my nephew, a console addict ... and I came across these: From the civ fanatics store (here on CFC) at http://astore.amazon.com/civilizationfana/detail/B000WMEEC6 Product Details Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution From 2K Games...

Currently, in my Firaxis games folder, my vanilla 1.74, Warlords 2.13 and BtS 3.17 are living in harmony in the Civilization 4 folder and its Warlords and BtS subfolders. Does the 3.19 patch muck up the common elements in the Civilization 4 folder, or does it just affect the BtS subfolder...

Addendum: Given Alan's question in post 2, the question really is "Assuming that a good/fair system for awards and rankings is developed, how do you like da_Vinci's Pseudo-Tier system?" See posts 2 and 3 for details. With the 2-tier discussion dying down, might be a good time to poll...
