    Just ordered it

    I am what you would call a casual player - and it basically took me about an evening to get used to the interface, rules, etc. Not as easy as a FPS though - it will take some time to adjust. Since I am familair with TBS games, I was up and playing in less than an hour or so regardless, and...

    Researching better ships

    Thanks for the very clear explanation - :goodjob: I thought this would be the case - but I am not able to express my self 'mathematically' (though I do have a knack for implicitly understanding the mathematical process behind things - kinda an idiot savant - maybe my handle should be RainMan...

    Researching better ships

    Thanks - good tip! After reading around on some other sites, there is some dispute as to the validity of the manual when it talks about armor values not going less than one - so the jury is still out on this. I'll try to research over at the official forums to see if I can discover the reality.

    Researching better ships

    When I got the game the ship design stuff was not really a selling point nor did I think I would be interested in it - but I have found it is one of the funnest parts of the game!

    Where can I get this game?

    Researching better ships

    Don't neglect your military starbases. Not just for defense either - building one in advance in a sector you want to attack can be a huge help. The ship assist modules can greatly increase the power of small fleets. For defense on small ships, just put on the smallest and cheapest defensive...

    Anyone with Civ 4 going to buy Galactic Civilizations II?

    I did. I just purchased and downloaded it - and installed it on the free disk space left on my HD from uninstalling Civ4, which I was not happy with. And I love the fact I don't have to keep a CD in my drive, uninstall other legal software I own, or resort to possibly "illegal" methods to...

    [GCiv] Hola! Introductions

    Hi Brad - I just wanted to say thank you for your stance on Copy Protection - it really is nice to be treated as a customer and not a thief. I just purchased your game - not just for that reason, but it was a huge part of my decision. You have come up with a 21st century solution to the...

    Memory-fix by Harkonnen is out!

    Hi Hark - glad to see you are still plugging away. Personally, I fixed my all my Civ 4 1.52 problems .... Start Menu\Control Panel\Add & Remove Programs\ Sid Meirs' Civilization 4\Uninstall. It worked for me. ;) However, if you do eventually come up with a solution for the newest version...

    Have They (Firaxis) acknowledged anything to anyone?

    Thank you Padma...for putting up with all of us at times! Your task is a thankless one...:goodjob: I would also like to say there were those of us who retreated to the Tech and Bug forums and tried to help out; it was mostly in GD where the 'firaxis is a $%#^ and the game @#&% " or the "buy...

    Memory Leak?

    I have tried this previously the past few nights as I had a CTD for the first time Monday night after 3 hours using the cached files. I did not want to post it until I made a few more tests, as I suspected that the cache was the problem, but Blue3c's experience seems to dovetail into mine...

    Memory-fix by Harkonnen is out!

    Make sure the following setting is corect in your Civ4.ini file: ; Allow Mouse Scrolling in Windowed mode MouseScrolling = 1 It must be set to (1) one to use the mouse scrolling. It is a bit hard to get used to using also - you have to hold the mouse very very close to the window border...

    Have They (Firaxis) acknowledged anything to anyone?

    I don't know. I was just responding to the OP's question has anyone heard anything from Firaxis about a single issue. I have this forum in my fav list - along with several others I found a while ago doing google searches for Civ forums. Maybe they want to 'spread the wealth' among the many...

    Does the AI have preknowledge of the map?

    Why can't they not put the resources on the map at the beginning...at least those discovered with techs? Why not randomly generate their position when the first player discovers the appropriate tech? This is possible to do..they did a variation in civ3 when resources were exhauted...the...
