Not wishing to make more noise in a forum I'm new in (sort of), so I'll jump in here. I've been a Civ lover all the way back from Civ2. SMAC took weeks of my life. Liked 3, loved 4, when I got it working. Infact, I worry I'll be dismissed as someone that only contributes moans here; and I...

I don't think we'll see any improvement. I live in this blissful bubble of ignorance. I've got no idea how to code a game, or how difficult it is to program an AI. None at all. Nada. Anyway it must be difficult, right, or we wouldn't be having this discussion? The AI would be perfect? I'm...

Yeah, I just mean that I'd like a random option when deciding on the map type. It would just mean I wouldn't know what was coming and I'd have to adapt. Randomizing tiles across the map would be a step too far for me, as the maps would probably end up too disjointed.

.... Totally randomizing the map you start on? I think it would be cool to start on a map where you didn't know what was out there, or how big 'out there' was. I think it takes a bit of realism away from the game where (for instance) you play a terra map and know the new world is out there, or...

I think behind the ranting there is a good point here. It's great for everyone using this forum, mostly whether the game works or not, to discuss it in a place where people know about computers and PC gaming. How many people that bought civ 4 actually know there is a patch out? I believe the...

I do agree that some people go WAY over the top in criticising Firaxis for the release, lack of testing, etc. Every game released has bugs, look at R:TW as a shining example of a possibly great game they STILL haven't gotten right with 3 patches and an expansion pack. Firaxis should at least be...

Can't wait to get home and try this. I've a saved game on a huge map in about 1950 with the entire world uncovered, and each turn was taking about 10 minutes as the camera scrolled across the map, then every two or three turns I had the dreaded CTD. It was so smooth until 1850! I love the game...

Yeah, I'm having all of the same problems that everyone else seems to be having. Intro movies choppy, Cheshire Cat leaders, and total fog of war. From all that I've read, this has to be a softwear issue due to the fact that terrain can be revealed through the world editor, so, c'mon Firaxis...

Hi all, total newbie here. I'm a Civ 2/SMAC veteran, but I missed Civ 3 so I'm all excited about Civ 4, which should be waiting for me at home, but I'm a little worried about all of the hardware problems people have been mentioning. I usually play these types of games on the largest map...
