I agree. Continents in particular has been giving me terrible maps. I've been having better luck with Fractal and Island Plates w/ low sea level.

Plains>Grassland as well

With BtS I'm returning to Civ4 from a long hiatus and one of the things that is giving me trouble is not knowing whether I am building a wonder too early/too late. Is there a chart anywhere that shows approximate dates at which the AI usually builds wonders on different difficulties/game speeds?

The problem with minimum wage is if your labor is only worth $6/hr, and minimum wage is $7/hr, you are now priced out of the job market. This makes it a lot harder for unskilled workers to get their start. The biggest problem with poverty is people not being able to get a job in the first place...

It could be overheating, or it could be something else. Go to C:\WINDOWS\Minidump and zip up the most recent .dmp file and attach it to your next post and I'll see if I can figure out what exactly is causing your crashes.

10pm Adelaide time is 5:30 AM here, so an hour or two later would be ideal. 5 hours earlier would be okay, too.

Played my turn, sorry it took so long. I'm GMT -8 so that's quite a time difference.

A new version of CivScale has been released so this is not needed any longer.

Highlands.

I mostly play Epic, but I also play a custom speed I made, (it is really just Marathon with Epic build times).

In my last game Tokugawa went on a last minute killing spree and won by Domination when I was ~20 turns from launching the spaceship. He went berserk and started launching nukes, and then steamrolled everyone with tanks and infantry. He had nice land and spent the whole game quietly building...

If you want more players, I'll take Mao Zedong.

You don't need fishing. You need The Wheel and either Agriculture OR Fishing.

The Pyramids themselves weren't changed. Representation was weakened, and the Pyramids were most commonly used to get Representation MUCH earlier than normal. Now that Representation isn't as good, there is less reason for building the Pyramids.

All that would do is water down the game. Other strategies would be come even less viable. If the AI chopped rushed settlers, you would be forced to do it as well to keep up.

With Mathematics they can make precise measurements when cutting wood, so less is wasted.. Or something like that.

What caused my problem was changing the text with CivScale before I patched.

Same thing happened to me. A clean reinstall of the game and patch fixed it.

When I installed the patch all the interface text disappeared, and re-installing Civ4 and then the patch fixed everything. Maybe you can try that?

I like the fact that SDI can't be built until the Manhattan Project is complete. The chopping nerf was good, too.
