So. Windows got corrupted on my hard drive and I don't know how to do a windows restore without erasing what is on the drive. To solve the problem I bought a new hard drive and am using the old one for storage. I'm now up to the F drive. I have tried re-installing Civ4, Warlords and BtS...

So if I am building a rig and prefer a more generic case, what kind should I get?

Great thread! Thanks. So, what are the choices when it comes to 8-cores? Is it just the i7? Or are some of the quad-cores better nonetheless?

My current system is a bit of a Frankenstein. It is a pretty fast AMD dual-core, but I think the motherboard is maxed out at 1 GB of memory. The GPU is a 256MB Nvidia, apparently just enough to meet the minimum requirements. I did have to replace the power supply, now I have the TR2 RX-550PP...

I am making plenty of money these days, so that won't be a problem :) Wait till February? No way, I won't want to wait to play Civ V that long. As for the Sandy Bridge, I guess the newest CPU's are going to be 8-cores, and current GPU's don't support that many threads?

Here's what my notes look like when I play Warlords: 2520 BC turn 37 I whip the settler. Held off a turn to gather 10 hammers for an archer. Yeah, I researched Archery first, I want it. Plan to steal workers didn't work out, we didn't have the power, but at least our forces could claim some...

Sorry, I didn't scan all 30 pages of the thread, this may be a repeat question... What if now is the time to upgrade my computer? Let's say Civ V is one of the things I want to do with it. What should I get if I want a nice set-up?

Yay! I have been trying to win a cultural award for months. This makes me happy. Thanks to all the posters who have written cultural spoilers over the years (you know who you are ;)).

Culture victory 1637. Settled the capitol 2 south. Built a worker and eventually Stonehenge in 2020. It seemed expanding borders would be especially useful on this map for a culture game. Settled or claimed from barbs all the highest density resource spots, started growing some artist farms...

Hi. I guess this is better than PM? Anyway, I mistakenly downloaded the Adventurer save for Botm31. I noticed the mistake before I opened it, then downloaded the Contender save. In fact, I haven't opened either file as of this message. Anyway, in case you're concerned I'm fooling around, now...

I didn't make it.

Yes, of course.

True that. Kind of has REX written all over it, hm?

Look- the only way this is even fair is if there is gold, silver or gems in the bfc around that PH. Or else in a grab-able location for a 2nd city. Stone too. How else are we going to win a Deity game without special gifts from the Deities? Like, a la Perseus, magic armor, helmet, sword...

wrong thread. Erase

In test games I was able to get both Buddhism and Polytheism. In other tests, the AI got both religions at turns 8 or 9. So! If you like roulette, an early religion is for you!

It looks like a plains forest NE of the PH to me, too.

Since we get a bonus for building our own workers, I am inclined not to steal a worker and focus on growth instead. Inclined I said.

I like the hill 2N too. The trouble I have had with games like this is making too many decisions before I have the right info. A rush with Holkans might be a good idea, but it really depends on the presence of a convenient victim. Gotta hedge that bet.
