I haven't played for awhile. For some reason I always have a rough time starting around the end of the second period. I'll do pretty ok at start and be the point leader, but then I start getting passed and end up playing catch up for awhile. So this time I was trying to watch closely to...

Out of the blue. I wasn't even watching the victory conditions. I figured everything was ok actually. No spaceship stuff going on. No domination problems... blam, lose =P

I decided to do challenger. Everything was going good until around printing press area of the tech tree and i got a little behind. Pascal declared on me and a few turns later Hammurabi did the same. I soundly thumped their invading forces for hundreds of years. I built up a small tech lead...

How did ya change your name on the forums?

I have no computer that doesn't do that. XP or Vista. Just turn it off in the INI. EnableVoice = 0

I'm doing adventurer. only mediocre player and i've only played botm 1 in last long while. Hmmm.. I think i'm heading north somewhere. Adventurer has extra scout so i'll run him 2N and see whats around.

2 ways. HOF options: in game, options, on HOF3 tab select creat save on end turn. Autosave: In your "documents\my games\Beyond the Sword\civilizationiv.ini" find AutoSaveInterval and set it to 1.

nevermind... I just got the great spy again that I got right before I went to bed... so i'm not even submitting =(

Well crap! I'll probably get DQ'd from BOTM 1 now. Crashed on exit and created no save. Went with the last autosave, but I didn't have it setup for saving each turn on my new system... so not sure if I replayed a turn =/ Still going to submit since it's getting close to the end, but odds are...

Oh I did say WOTM, I meant BOTM =)

I did some hardware/partition rearranging. If I pickup mid WOTM on a fresh install (of everything), is this going to cause HOF to throw a fit? I don't want to spend time finishing it to get booted.

I tried to kill off england early... My first wave didn't finish off the town. It turned into a protracted battle that ended up in my finally finishing them off in 480BC. Now that i'm nice and behind I just sit back and wait for the other AI's to crush me.

Not Necessarily. My laptop widescreen works fine. 1440x900

Read the stickied thread, "To those with d3dx9_32.dll problems"? http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=232577

look around the forums. many threads about this issue

maybe hidden? in windows explorer, Tools->Folder Options. View Tab. Hidden files and folders, select show. while you are there uncheck "hide extensions for known file types" too, if that irritates you. Both of those drive me nuts.

I can confirm, no cd-key has ever been required.

imo, big diff buying digital download game direct from the manafacturer and buying it from Direct2Drive or the like. I also bought Galciv 2 + expansion from stardock.

@sobe88 - you could try cloning your CD. setup whatever your using to read it nice and slow, and ignore errors. I avoid direct2drive & other similar places. I don't know anything about them except some of the problems I don't wish to deal with.

@sobe88 - your cd has problems =/ @glcm1961 - Woot!
