rad =) is there a way to make a better music interface? Like maybe a track skip button or something? and a way to tell what track is playing, like a scrolling title at the top corner, or something like the firefox FoxyTunes extension? I tend to just point the custom music folder to my mp3...

just a correction--tilted axis puts the north and south poles on the east and west edges of the map, changing the orientation of the globe. Otherwise, it looks like normal civ 4.

that's kinda mean, isnt it? "Oh great leader, please allow us to join your masterful civilization, and fill us with hope and joy! Why are there bulldozers at our gates with your name on the side? Oh dear...."

Zarathustra is the persian name for the person the greeks called Zoroaster. thus, either works for the name of the religion. As for it's age, He preached in ancient Iran around the same time that the ancient aryans were composing the vedas. You can tell because his avestan language is so...

I reviewed the game on a system that is far below spec. It worked perfectly for me. i then tried it out on my girlfriend's system, which is top of the line and new. It still worked perfectly. This was reflected in my review. Sorry if i couldnt test it under all potential conditions, but i...

aside from the obvious (babylon!), i added Siamese as my addition. I want to see south east asia show up in civ =) For leaders, i added Indira Gandhi, cause it would be awesome to play india with a cutthroat dictator. i also requested civil wars like civ 1 had =)

if the AI won conquest, would you even be around to notice? =)

hinduism, being completely decentralised, has no money collection inherent in the faith. Various subsects of hinduism do whatever they want with their organizations, but for the most part, the only time money is asked for is when it comes to temple maintenance. Also, Hinduism is a very...

i choose situation 3, wherein a post is made to a forum about a topic which is historically known for giving rise to vicious, pointless flamewars, and has only the barest relation to the actual core topic of the forum.

my computer is also below spec. i just click past the message and play as normal =)

there used to be, though, in civ 3...

what i would like is the ability to resist the UN. Get negative modifiers from other member states, sure. But sometimes, i just don't want to change civics out of my currently fine set up.

agree 100 percent about wonder vids. I still have some of them on my hard drive and watch them on occasion (marco polo, anyone? that, and the hanging gardens, js bach's, and a few others.) I was so excited when i heard that they were coming back, only to have crushing pain when i saw what...

ROFL! that's wonderful, dude =)

i wrote a retrospective article for 1up about civ 1 back in june, and to really get a feel for it, i played the game again. And was in the office for 6 hours after the day ended. Civ 1 still has the pull that it always has had, even in this modern age =)

on/off isn't the issue. it's having more fine control over what is played.

how do you do that, exactly?

it ran before, but it doesnt now. at all. guess i should have listened when they said "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"...

how weird--my copy just doesn't work anymore. Mind you, i'm using my review build and not a retail build, so perhaps that has something to do with it. i wish the game was available in japan...

there were swamps in civ 1--the dark green tiles with weird purply-bluish blobs on them.
