I have a number of beefs with this patch which has mostly generated the response of "Give me my old game back!". I play local area network multiplayer by the way, with G&K and DLCs, and simultaneous turns (co-operative play with my wife vs the AIs): 1. The sounds have been mucked about. No...

Personally, I love playing the celts. What most people ignore when saying whether or not a civ is good or bad is also the start techs. The celts get Hunting and Mysticism so I start with scouts (get all the goody huts and therefore a tech lead) and half way to a bunch of religions (I like...

I've only had one Warlord so far. Attached him to a samurai unit which after I attached I promoted to a rifleman. Game was over about 25 turns later with a domination victory. I like attaching warlords to units!!

Given the silly amount of time I;ve put into Civ 3 and the silly amount of time I'll put into Warlords, I really think it is worth the money. So far I really like the new civs and leaders - the new unique buildings are also great. I'm really enjoying Warlords so far! Worth every penny of the...

I had several "oh crap" moments in the game I just lost. It was a duel pangaea with me vs the romans at Monarch/Quick (I usually play MP at Noble/Epic but wanted a quick game whilst my wife was away). It started well, I had a bigger half of the continent than Caesar and I got the first 3...

As with civ 3 (so you could have figured it out with a tiny bit of research) LAN based multiplay only requires a single copy of the game - no need for you all to buy one (unless you also play at home). Are you sure your linksys didnt die on its own? I cant see any way that a computer crash...

Dont use pop rush for your troops (unless you REALLY are desperate). Use the right civics to give extra XP. Target your promotions on the troops you will attack. Use combined arms. Use catapults.

Personally I think you are lucky to get out of that with a net zero....nothing is worse than betrayal by someone who has appeared to be a friend. Most players who get backstabbed by someone who they have been loyal to all game turn round and wipe them off the face of the planet in return for...

I'm pretty sure you can see holy cities from the normal game view, just look for the asterisk next to the religious symbol above the city name...

Surely you must compare your standing with the voting AI civ in question with your competitors standing with the same AI? You might be +12, but the competitor AI might by +13 or more... Maybe you need to be MUCH more popular than the other guy, like +5 better than the competition...

maybe the 100% vs mounted only works on offense? Given that the phalanx is being attacked (and is therefore defensive) its ignoring it? I wasnt aware of that, maybe its a bug? Does it affect phalanx only or does it also affect spearmen/pikemen?

I believe he meant swap space...

2 possibilities spring to mind: 1. Your copy of the game is corrupted (I've had several diplo wins without issue and dont get CTDs ever - maybe one of your CTDs corrupted that end game type?) 2. Just at the point of the victory, the game puts the victory code/display etc into memory and...

Not seen that at all. I play nearly exclusively with the mouse (although I do sometimes hit space or enter) too. I'm in windowed mode, are you?

Am I reading this right? You are using USB drive for your virtual memory? I'd imagine that it is very slow and maybe (just maybe) windows isnt waiting long enough for it to be accessed? I presume your particular CTDs only happen after paging to disk has started?

You make a very good point, although probably not the one you thought you were making. Someone with your experience wouldnt be able to make a good judgement about another company in the same business as yours because you arent there. However, people on these boards routinely suggest that...

Presumably you are suing Microsoft first as by definition a CTD is the operating systems response to something? Then you'll be suing Microsoft again for the buggy DX9.0c? Then you'll be suing nVidia or ATI for their crap drivers? Then you'll be suing your PC manufacturer for the crap...

Its stored in the ini file - edit that to be whatever name you want to play.

Is this thread still going? Oh well, I'll add a bit more then...:mischief: The car analogy, its actually quite a good one if used in the right way. Imagine a car, it has excellent brakes, refined steering, it even has comfy seats. Now this perfectly good car was tested on test tracks in...

This is exactly what real life "anti-globalisation" supporters want though isnt it? Personally I think every civic should be available in the UN, and if God forbid Tokugawa wins the election, he should be able to propose Mercantilism.:crazyeye:
