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.

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...

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.

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...

I've got a Dell 530 with a Diamond HD 2600XT card (with 256 MB ram). PCI-Express slot. CPU: Q6660 RAM: 4 GB Windows Vista (32 bit) Power Supply: 380 watts Resolution: 1440 x 900 I've been playing CIV 5 on regular map size (with graphics on the lowest possible settings, without doing...

How can I turn off combat animations for the Mongols scenario? I have them off for regular play.

Civ 5 has worked great for many months. I last used it several day ago without any problems. Now when I try to load, it gives me "Civilization V Launcher has stopped working". Rebooting doesn't fix it. I'm running Windows Vista and it installed some updates recently. Could they have...

In multiplayer a bad player can mess up everyone's game by spamming chat with large font insults that fill up the screen and make it hard to play. Recently someone did this for 20 minutes, including 10 minutes after their civilization had been wiped out. Solutions: 1) allow players to...

I cannot play the game right now because it says I cannot connect to the steam network. My internet connection is working. I've connected to steam in the past. The Steampowered.com website is running.

In multi-player games there is a very small number of people who can do a great deal of damage. They join a game (either a new one or one that is in progress) and constantly hit the pause button. Eg they pause the game, if someone else restarts it, they hit pause again. This ruins the game...

I recently got a 23' wide monitor and started running higher resolution (eg. 1440*900 or 1680*1050). However it looks like it shows the same number of tiles when I zoom out to as far as you can, and still be able to move/see units, as my other monitor does at 1024*768. Is there a way to see...

I recently upgraded from XP (service pack 2) to Vista and a new computer. Intel Core2Quad 3 GB ram ATI Radeon 2600xt video card. Resolution: 1024x768, 72hz. BTS: upgraded with the latest patch. It's very fast. Problem is several of the fonts used in Civ 4 BTS are readible, but...

I've seen this happen twice in multiplayer using Gamespy. I'm not sure what causes the problem, and as it happens before the game starts - I don't think a saved game file would help. Everyone has clicked on "ready", however when the host clicks on "launch" the game does not launch. There...

I've been playing Civ4 for several years on DSL without a problem. Now I switched to Comcast (cable internet). I opened the ports on the router. I set my computer to operate in the DMZ and turned off windows firewall (It previously worked with me just opening the ports on the router, but...

I've got a Nvidia GE 5500 card. It's AGP 8x, but my motherboard AGP port is only 4x. Is my AGP port reducing my speed by a lot? My computer is: AMD 2600+, 1 GB DDR RAM (PC 2100), 1024x768. I'm running BTS with the lowest graphics settings (animations off, low-res textures, etc). The...

All versions of civ4 irregularly crash my computer - anywhere from 5%-30% of the games I play. I think it is more likely to happen when I've had the computer on for a while, and/or it is running more programs. However as my computer has 1 GB of RAM, and the other programs aren't that...

There is a new quick combat offense, and quick combat defense option. What does it do?

I'm wondering if it is best to have all of your attacking units in one stack or to use two or more stacks when attacking a city in multi-player? I'm trying to reduce the impact of collateral damage by spreading the units thin. In multiplayer you get hit by much more collateral damage than...

When I zoom out, it is a smooth process until it jumps to the view that shows clouds. I want to be able to have a continuos zoom-out. I'd like to be able to zoom out further than I currently can (so that more of my empire can fit on the screen), without seeing the clouds. Is this possible...
