    Faster leader interactions

    I have animations off. There is still a 2-3 second pause that I'd like to get rid of before you hit the Goodbye button.

    Faster leader interactions

    Is there a way to speed up AI diplomatic interaction screens? For instance, the leader will say their thing - and then it pauses 2-3 seconds before I can hit continue button. This is especially annoying when someone is asking for peace every single turn.

    Shift Clicking

    When you shift click, does it appear that your turn has ended? Eg. do you end your turn, and then have your units move after every single player's units have moved (except for the shift-clicked ones)? I saw this recently. I looked like someone's turn was ended, so I ended mine. Then they...

    Automated City Manager - Settler Production

    I was producing a Settler. The automated city manager chose to use a square producing 2 food and 1 hammer, instead of using a square producing 3 hammers and 3 gold. The latter square would produce the settler (and not grow the city) and the same rate while providing 3 additional gold.

    Extreme Game Slowdown since the pre G&K Patch

    The new patch fixed it. That took a while, but I'm glad that the game is now playable again.

    Extreme Game Slowdown since the pre G&K Patch

    Using DirectX 10//11 only works part of the time. Just froze a game playing Carthaginians, small map, lowest graphics, 900 mb of RAM (70% of RAM is used), around 550 BC. Reloading sometimes helps. I'm running anti-virus software, steam, and winamp (listening to music) in the background. I...

    Extreme Game Slowdown since the pre G&K Patch

    Trying now using DirectX 10/11. CPU went from 25% to 32-44% which means that multi-threading seems to now work properly. I have a quad-core (Intel Q6600), so previously DirectX 9 was maxxing out a single core and only using 1-3% of the other cores. Memory dropped from 1.05 GB to 800 MB...

    Extreme Game Slowdown since the pre G&K Patch

    The patch that came out before Gods and Kinds was released slowed down the game to the point where it becomes unplayable sometime around 1000-1700 AD. This has happened for at least 5 games that I've started (all the games since the patch). I'm using Windows Vista (32 bit), 3 GB ram, HD 5570...

    02-07-2012 - Hotfix incoming

    They haven't fixed the speed issue that was introduced by the pre-G&K patch. This still comes very close to freezing on my computer once the game is around 1600 AD (small map, lowest graphics settings, only using 55% of my RAM). Generally I stop it before it freezes and I just see extreme...

    Malware warning on various CFC pages

    Does this have anything to do with these pop-up flash video ads I'm seeing on the site? Or are these ads legitimate?

    14th of June Patchnotes

    Now my problem is a lagging response from the mouse. I mouse over things and there is regularly (but not always) a 100-1000 ms delay before the pointer moves to the correct spot. This makes it annoying to select anything with the mouse (Logitech wireless). It is especially noticeable if you...

    14th of June Patchnotes

    I ran Steam game integrity verify and it found a bad file. (Seriously? I just re-installed it!). Now I also am trying out Catalyst 12.4 (had 12.3 before). Looks like it might be fixed which is great!

    14th of June Patchnotes

    I'm having massive problems with the patch so I reinstalled it using Steam. The game starts ok, but gets slower and slower until it is unplayable after 100-150 turns. The mouse starts sporadically responding (so you move the mouse, wait up to a second, then get a response). I've got graphics...

    Upgrading my HD 2600XT

    Thanks. I decided to go with the Radeon HD 5570 (for around $60). It is about the same as the 4670, but lower power consumption when not in use (and might run cooler).

    [vanilla] Complete Guide to Happiness (vanilla)

    "The 50% happiness gets rounded down on a per city basis, so an odd number of specialists will maximize happiness gained: 1-2 specialists add +1 happiness, 3-4 add +2, etc." It gets rounded up.
