So... now that I've won my first game on Noble - I was playing Frederick on a standard map, and it was hairy at the end with the Chinese rounding everyone else on their side but just missing on diplomatic victory because I had a civ just large enough to corner enough votes. I managed to...

So I'm running as the Germans on Noble on a continent map and have built a bunch of cities... founded Judaism in Hamburg, then Christianity in (I think) Munich, then founded Taoism in... Hamburg? How can that be? Why would it be founded there when I have five other "non-holy" cities to pick...

My wife just got her christmas gift - a wee bit early, I know, but she was home when it came and I eventually just gave it to her when she guessed what it was. And that would be a new laptop. So I spent some time setting it up, and then installed Civ4 on it... since it's the most powerful...

It's not a huge issue since I play with the resource markers turned on, but I'm still curious: in my game everything works perfectly except that I can't see the animals (cows, horses, pigs etc), only their shadows. Any idea what's causing this? Is it a bug? If so, is it on someone's radar to be...

Got through my first game - on Warlord - and boy is this a different game than Civ3. I won on space race at 2032, although I fully expected to win by diplomacy but for some reason could never budge Mao to not vote for me instead of abstaining, and was therefore always 30-50 votes behind. The...

Now that the patch is out, I wanted to make a few comments regarding the game. These are obviously from my personal experience, and thus do not represent or attempt to represent anybody's opinions but my own. As I used to be one of those who couldn't run the game, I fully understand and...

I think I must be missing something. Hinduism (and Buddhism?) seem to be the "fastest" religions to discover, meaning that they have the longest time to, err, propagate. By the time something else comes up, both of these will already have significant market share (excuse my impudence). So...

Well, well, well... I dejectedly gave up on attempting to "fix" Civ4 a couple of weeks ago, due to the black terrain problem. I felt that my laptop is certainly powerful enough to run the thing (IBM X31), its video card supports HW T&L (Mobility Radeon) even if it has only 16MB of RAM, and...

So I have been playing around with 3Danalyze (for those who tried and couldn't make it run - the problem is that you need to add 3Danalyze's directory to your PATH environment variable, so that it can find its DLL's), and had managed a bunch of changes (disabling lighting, for example, causes...

Alright, I actually got the game today. I was very surprised, since Amazon listed it as due to arrive 11/7 (I chose free shipping), and yet here it is. My laptop: IBM X31 768MB RAM Embedded Mobility Radeon AGP (M6-C16h), 16MB on board, hardware support for T&L The game installed...

All, I have tried finding the answer through the forum but I am still uncertain as to whether it is yay or nay. I have an IBM X31, Pentium M 1.4GHz, 768MB RAM. While money is not the issue here, the laptop itself is, as it is my business machine and what I will continue to have for the...
