Hi! I'm enjoying Civ6 and would like to recreate a gigantic type of game that I enjoyed in previous Civ titles. This will require mods, but I seem to have trouble finding and/or deciding on the ones that fit this purpose best. So I'm asking for your recommendations - all suggestions are welcome...

Civ5 producer Dennis Shirk wrote a post-mortem about Civ5's development process in the March 2011 issue of Game Developer magazine. The magazine isn't available for free, but the German platform 4players.de has posted a summary. I'm a bit uncomfortable with linking to a paid publication, but...

I rarely start new threads here (as you can see by my posting history), but while looking for something else, I stumbled across something odd that I'd like to discuss. I found this interview from July. There, Dennis Shirk (Firaxis' producer for Civ5) says: Now, he says in a podcast...

PLIGHT - Psyringe's Lush In-Game Help Text Current version: v0.7 beta Download Link Note: I know that this is the forum for Master of Orion, not Magic. However, I really wanted to release this on CivFanatics (it's one of the very few forums where I'm a bit of a regular), and I didn't find...

Is there someone here who uses the /3GB switch on a system which has a 1 GB graphics card? If yes, please shout, as I'm currently wondering whether that's possible. :) I'm playing highly modded Civ4 on Windows XP SP3. Due to the added content and larger maps, Civ4 needs more than the 2 GB...

A recent game of mine reinforced my belief that the current AI's decision-making with regards to colonies doesn't work very well. Here's what happened: Zara Yaqob has expanded from his mainland into an archipelago. At 530 AD, he manages to found Judaism is one of his mainland cities. In 610...

Hi :) The list of subforums in the "Civ4 - Project & Mod Development" section has grown considerably by now. This is a good thing, but it makes a bit difficult to find a certain project if you don't remember its position in the list. (Okay, not really difficult, but inefficient.) I sugesst...

Hi, thread title says it all. I use the tool WebMon to monitor websites for changes. WebMon downloads a copy of the page it monitors, then checks this page once per day for changes. My problem is that WebMon cannot seem to connect to CFC. I always get an "Internal Server Error". CFC is the...

Okay, I took a look at the code, ran some experiments, and think I have a temporary fix for the annoying mercenary button crash bug. In the "Rhye's and Fall of Civilization" directory, open this file: Assets\Python\screens\CvMainInterface.py Go to line 304. Right now it reads...

I've played a couple of rather huge games now with up to 34 civs on the map. I found out that in each game there seems to be at least one spot where the civ colors don't work well. For example, in my current game, there is France next to America, both are north of Greece and west of the Maya and...

Hi :) I'm having a look at the RtW scenario. While it's clear that an impressive amount of work has gone into this scenario, I couldn't help being a bit disappointed how different the game map is from a real map. I understand that some things have to be cut and/or changed to make the scenario...

Hello. I'm a long time forum user who sees this forum being flooded by a dozen of "What's the best XXX" polls today, which are meant to be used for a Civ4 review. Now don't take me wrong, there certainly interesting topics among them, but I get the feeling that these polls - if they are meant...

Are there any board gamers playing this mod? If so do you know the games History of the World and Britannia? I'm mentioning these two because both simulated long periods of history, including the rise and fall of many civilizations. And both did that by letting each player play several...

Hi :) I just fired up SMAX again and found out that with my current PC, I'm able to generate maps as huge as 256x256 tiles in one or two seconds. That's the advantage when you're playing games which where designed for 100MHz PCs, you may be able to play them on a truly epic scale now. :)...

I just upped my memory from 256 MB to 1GB. Since my other specs still aren't stellar (Athlon XP 1800+, GeForce 4Ti 4200, Win2k SP 4), I'd like to test how much Civ my system can handle now. The problem is that the slowdowns and some other issues may only show up in the late game, and I'd like to...

In another thread, the question arose how the AI picks the order of its attackers. Specifically: Does the AI choose the unit which has the best chance to win first, or does it simply choose the unit with the highest strength first? To answer that question, I tried to set up a test...

The December issue of German PC game magazine "PC Powerplay" includes a demo version of Civilization IV. The demo is limited to 200 turns of play and includes the Roman, Greek, Indian, and Inca civilizations. It occupies 430 MB on the magazine's DVD. The magazine sells for 3,60 Euro. More...
