    Question For Lefties

    I'm still hoping to get some respondents willing to tell me which Civilization they like best, based on being left handed. So far, nobody has answered that one.

    Question For Lefties

    Well, to me speed actually matters. Granted, Civ IV is a shorter game than Civ III. I'm assuming that is because resources get used up faster, and also because there are is much more graphics. But it still is too slow for my taste. I've actually turned off the multiple unit imagery, as...

    Question For Lefties

    Why do you do that? Have you actually tried to do this using your left hand? Because if you did, and you were able to use that in conjunction with the right hand working the right side of the keyboard simultaneously, you would become more efficient. I'm really looking for a system where both...

    Question For Lefties

    Other than the jerk above, who did the same thing at the Civ IV section, I had a purpose for asking this. And it pertains to my being left handed. I've been a huge player in Civ III for many years now, and love the game. But it has some limitations. When I bought my first Civ IV game, I...

    Question For Lefties

    You really are a jerk, par excelence. You know that?! Now, please take your cynicism somewhere else. I'm trying to converse with adults.

    Question For Lefties

    That's because you are right handed. All left handed people(or most anyway) know about the word 'Leftie' when talking about which side of the brain is dominant. But this is what is nice about life: we tend to learn things all the time. :goodjob:

    Question For Lefties

    Yeah, there really is a difference. And thanks for being civil and acting like an adult here. I really do appreciate it. Civ III is a perfect game to play is you are left handed. The player can use his/her left hand mouse/touchpad as the 'point/selection' stroke, and the right hand as the...

    Question For Lefties

    I dislike having to converse with numbnuts, but in your case I will. You have more than a problem if you think I am a troll. Go to the Store and purchase some common sense. Its not all that expensive, you know, and increases with age. Jeeze, where do some geniuses come from? If you feel...

    Question For Lefties

    I guess I'm just a power player then. Naturally I use my left hand for the mouse. But my right hand is always there to use up-down-left-right directions. And too, the 'enter' button is in two places, but mostly the far right one on the numeral pad is what I use most often. I'm constantly...

    Question For Lefties

    I'm left handed, and have been a Civ player for almost twenty years. But I have some Civilization games that are a royal pain in the 'Backside' to play, because they are not user friendly to lefties. So my question is: which Civilization to you like best, based on it being user friendly to...

    Civ IV in-game World Builder Manual

    First of all, I'm using a disc. Secondly, I have looked through every crook and cranny within 'C:/Program Files/Firaxis Games/'. Its not there. I don't know how many times I have tried that set of folders. Obviously it has to be located somewhere else. I'm still totally frustrated on this...

    Civ IV in-game World Builder Manual

    I have a question that has still gone unanswered for three years now, and I am still frustrated. I walked away from it, but am now trying again. It related to Neil's Civ IV World Builder Manual. At the time of my original question, I was still using Win XP, but have since gone up to Win 7...

    Global Warming is Stuck in the Ice

    I tend to agree with Dale, that its not all that much worth arguing about. Stick around about ten or fifteen years and then consider all this. I'll place my bet on at least a Dalton Minimum. And since the overwhelming statistics clearly show that "The Good News is that the Bad News is...

    Global Warming is Stuck in the Ice

    Dale, you are correct here, and the reason is natural. Heat tends to have a stronger tendency to oscillate more from the equator, than from the polar regions, because of our planet's location relative to the sun's activity. This means that as this heat moves northward, the movement is more...

    Civilization Opponent's Unique Personalities

    If you go to your main CivIII folder, and then click on the "Conquests" folder you will find the following exe file "Civ3ConquestsEdit.exe". Just click on it and you are in. I have a shortcut made and it sits on my desktop, where I can punch it any time I want to work with it. I'm not...

    Civilization Opponent's Unique Personalities

    If you look within the 'Editor', you will see that the Lincoln character is in the middle regarding "Aggressiveness". No idea what he is like with that dialed down. Also, his 'Bonus' characteristics are "Expansionist" as well. This means he will constantly be attempting to expand, and at...

    Civilization Opponent's Unique Personalities

    I have no way of knowing that. I always play America by habit. Lincoln is not one of my favorite presidents. I'd much rather have a George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, or Calvin Coolidge, but we can't have everything we want, can we? I do have some further information on personalities...

    Civilization Opponent's Unique Personalities

    I've concluded that there is a built in personality type for each individual, and the type of civilization he/she represents. Some are quite easy to discern correctly. The Mongols, Zulus, and Aztecs, can almost always be guaranteed to attack anyone at the slightest 'bad hair day'. The...
