Quality programs are robust enough to work properly, even on thousands of different configurations. CivIV isn't robust. It's as simple as that.

I do think that there should be more penalties for having more than one religion, especially considering the possible benefits to such a state. (Having all seven religions in a city before discovering the Scientific Method means +70% Science and +14 Culture/turn from Monasteries alone.) What...

Later religions definitely need a slight advantage. I support giving them more than one extra missionary. (Islam in particular is very difficult to spread.)

How exactly didn't they notice this? What platforms did they use? (Yes, I know you can't tell us - the question is mostly for effect.)

Forests and jungles cancel the river commerce bonus. Rivers give the habitable spaces around them the "Fresh Water" property, as do freshwater lakes and oases. If a city is founded on a square with that property, it gains +2 Health.

I first noticed this problem in a game where I had just constructed the Hanging Gardens. When I built a new city, it would gain the health bonus, but not the population increase - that only happened in existing cities. Okay, I thought it was an intended feature, as it wasn't completely...

I don't mean that the music isn't playing - it's not there. I checked the directory that stores all of the sounds associated with the completion of the building (including Great Wonders) and there isn't a file for it. Can anyone confirm that such a file exists? Was it just not installed...

It's not clear to me that the Batman issue is actually a problem. Different substances absorb microwaves differently, and it's known that humans can live quite comfortably in homes with microwave heating. (The idea eventually had to be scrapped because the pressure in the eye would rise...

There are plenty of civilizations that couldn't make use of a resource, but made a significant profit from selling it to those who could.

Work boats can only enter squares that are part of the coast, or part of your cultural borders. Once your borders expand enough to include ocean, the boats will be able to move there. If the whales had somehow been in a coast tile that wasn't within your borders, the boats could move out to...

Asking what the AI wants seems to generate a "fair" deal. Yes, the AI should accept if you offer it far more than it would need to give.

Just took some screenshots that I wish I could post to this thread. The starting area is clearly visible, but shaded out, while about ten spaces to the south, an identically-shaped zone is active and fully visible. Clearly the visible space that's supposed to be around my city and its units...

The disks are mislabeled. The "Install Disk" is actually the one you need to play. Switch the disks and try again. It's likely to load.

At least it's possible to work around this problem. You don't even need to change the settings - by turning on the option to display the production modifiers of the terrain, you can get a sense of what's there relatively easily. I've noticed that, even when the squares become visible after...

Just browsing through the manual, I found some rather strange things in the Resource section. Pigs are listed as needing a hunting camp to access. Shouldn't that be a pasture? Deserts are listed as gaining commerce from rivers. (They can't - they become Floodplains.) Clams, Crabs...

Not all of us have a few hundred dollars to blow on a new video card, especially if the new card won't actually function with the game, Chieftess. I can see terrain squares once my explored area expands enough, so clearly it's not a purely hardware problem - if it were, shouldn't it be...

That's more or less what I've been experiencing. As I explore more, I start to be able to see tiles - even ones I haven't visited yet and should be hidden by the Fog. This patch of visibility slowly spreads until I can see everything.

The good news is that some freaky interaction between the Fog and the tilesets means that, with enough playing time, it becomes possible to see the terrain. The game can be played in such a state, particularly if you turn on the tile-bonus markers. The bad news is that the Fog is messed up...

Yes! Yes, I have similar problems. Unfortunately, I have no solution.

Well, I have it. The sound keeps cutting out and I can't see the terrain, but I have it. :mad:
