    Mouse Wheel Button Doesn't Work

    You mouse wheel button has to be configured as a "middle button." If you have it configured as anything else, it will not work.

    Starting City

    But isn't part of the challenge making the best out of what the game hands you? I do this with Civilization games all the time. It feels almost a little like cheating to quit and restart until you get a "good" starting position.

    Starting City

    I am sorry if this has been asked, but searching did not turn anything up (I may have searched poorly). Reading through several gaming sites and a few guides, I see people mentioning picking a starting city. Now, I have never seen where this is possible, as I just start the scenario and go...

    Star Wars Mod

    Nitpicky me, and if this has been mentioned before, excuse me. The proper spelling is "Neutral", not "Nuetral". Sorry, not trying to be a spelling nazi, just trying to help make the mod look good when it is done. :D

    Update your video drvier. Nvidia has a new driver out that may correct that for you.

    You could just rerun the 1.52 patch. It is in your My Documents folder under My Games, SM Civ IV, Patches.

    Ok, who is not so happy with the patch?

    So was the rushed production whipped or purchased with gold?

    CIV4 the highest rated game ever

    Then you have not played any of the three Elder Scrolls titles - Arena, Daggerfall, or Morrowind. They are so open ended, you can play for months and never even see anything of the main quest.

    What the heck is "LEVEL 5 unit"

    Not entirely correct. When a unit engages in battle, it can gain experience, and when it reaches the amount for the next level, it then is eligible for a promotion, and will glow blue on your next turn. How many promotions does your unit have? Select it and count the promotion icons in the...

    Software Piracy

    Despite the real reason the game studio has low sales - a POS game that no one wants to play and got terrible reviews from EVERYONE. Your argument lacks logic, Phil. Any number of factors contribute to this, and piracy is NOT that big of a factor. Unless you can prove otherwise, which so far...

    Software Piracy

    You also need to keep in mind that a small percentage of people who pirate a game may actually go and purchase the title after playing it a bit. They may find it worth paying for (like an extended play demo) or want to play online multiplayer matches (Doom 3 and many other games use a CD Key...

    Nerf Archers!

    It is entirely possible to fight early wars and not have them last forever. You just need to remember to used combined arms (sorry, that stack of Praetorians just will not be enough, you better toss some archers in there, and if you have them, some horseback units) and siege engines, if you...

    Software Piracy

    Westwood was shutdown because EA likes to practice pillage and burn tactics. Also, Earth and Beyond was the last title Westwood developed before being axed, and we all know just how well that title did. After all that development, E&B was shutdown for lack of interest/subscribers. This put...

    Environmentalism

    Man, what a joke this civic is. So far, every game I have played has gotten to the point where it can be used, and I have no trees left! I have butchered my land to assist in production and to get the most from the tiles. When the UN votes it in (which I always refuse) I am suddenly cast from...

    Civ-watching pets?

    Yet you just HAD to post in it. Bug off, we are having fun. Yes, and you have proven it admirably.

    Civ-watching pets?

    My cat used to be a video game junkie. Back in the day he would lay on the bed next to me and watch me play Donkey Kong Country on my SNES. Not just a passing interest, either. I would play for hours and he would lay there and watch. He would also come running when he heard the startup music...

    Bug - 100 turns warning comes too early

    So that explains why it also happened in the game I was in the middle of when 1.09 came around. Gotcha! :goodjob:

    Crash to a 800x600 4bit desktop

    I was merely pointing out that you had a pair of statements that were contradictory of each other. If I had wanted to start a flame war, trust me, you would know it Now, back to the subject on hand - When my system crashed playing Guild Wars to the 8x6x4 desktop, The driver itself had...

    Inadequate power supply=problems with high end PCs

    And why not? Think about it - you have, lets say, 1GB of memory in your rig. You play games like Doom 3, Quake 4, and any number of games that are pretty system intensive. However, in those games, the levels load, you play, then they are dumped from memory and the next level loads. While I...

    Bug - 100 turns warning comes too early

    When my game hit 1940, I got a message stating that there were only 100 turns left. I beat the game before that time ran out, however, it seemed it was driving to complete the game in 2040, instead of 2050. Version 1.09.
