    Thread to Report Issues with new xenForo version 2.2: "Similar Threads"

    Can I get a way to hide "similar threads" at the bottom of the screen? I tend to hit the 'End' key on a thread I'm following to get to the latest post on a page, and with the new layout, all I see is this Reply box and the list of similar threads :( I have to scroll up again to see the last...

    Help request: Recover the Admin password for a PBEM game

    The War and Peace: Napoleonic Europe game has stalled out because of Bowsling's untimely disappearance. The rest of us would still like to play, but Bowsling has the admin password. Does anyone around here have a utility that could reset the admin password for us? Note that I do not want to...

    Tusk1 - Ladies First

    As discussed in this thread, this game is inspired by a game with all female opponents. Settings Standard size Other than that, I generally like all random, but this is open for discussion. The Ladies Egypt Russia France England Spain Byzantines The Rival Greece - Pretty Boy Alexander who...

    Date format

    Recently, I've noticed dates on the site displaying in DD-MM-YYYY format. IIRC, they used to display in MM-DD-YYYY format, so the switch is confusing me :( Is there any way I can switch them back, or is it a sitewide setting?

    CCM mod PBEM

    Is there any interest in a PBEM of Civinator's CCM? I've quite enjoyed playing it in ThERat's recent Succession games, and I think it would be an interesting PBEM challenge. Here's the CCM thread in the mod forum: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?p=11388915 I think I'd like to...

    Using iPod-like media players for teacher training in developing countries

    One of my coworkers was in Africa for a project earlier this year, and he wrote about it here: http://blog.sewardinc.com/2011/09/13/a-tutor-in-my-pocket/ Basically, they handed out generic iPod Touch-like media players to teachers in a poor African country so they could all take the same...

    Epic Battle in RTW: AAR

    I fought the most epic battle in RTW last night! The setup was hardly inspiring: I had a one-star general on my quiet eastern border, building some watchtowers. He was escorted by a unit of principes and two units of town watch. All told, it was about 260 men. On the inter-turn, a...

    Bombers skipping their turn

    I'm playing a WW2 mod, so I have LOTS of bombers in play. In the last few turns, I've noticed that sometimes, I'll hit 'b' and click my target, but the bomber doesn't do anything -- it just skips to the next bomber. It seems like it was happening a lot with cities where I was losing planes...

    Information Security

    I clicked on one of Calis' screenshots, and it took me to his Photobucket album, which let me see a bunch of other screenshots from unrelated games. Calis (and everyone) - would you mind uploading images under a different account, to avoid exposing Eagle screenshots that way...

    Unit naming conventions

    I'd like to tweak the naming convention in Civ 3 When I build units, they automatically get named by unit, regardless of how many I've built or where I've built them. Instead, I'd like them named based on which city built them and how many I have: "Warrior, 1st Rome" "Cavalry, 12th...

    CCCM (That is, China in CCM)

    I've enjoyed playing CCM in the Rat41 succession game, so I decided to start a solo game. On a whim, I chose China. ================================ Our tribe started out next to the mountain: We settled Beijing on the northwest side of the mountain, on the banks of the Sweet...

    Rise of Rome Conquest Strategy (as Carthage)

    We were talking about strategy in the SparGamez2 thread, and I had the notion that it might be easier/faster to win by spamming settlers throughout Africa than by pushing hard against Rome. You'd still have to do SOME fighting, but settling a bunch of empty desert cities would be a bit easier...

    Navigation on the homepage is semi-broken for Civ3 topics

    I was trying to look up some general Civ3 info, and I noticed that the Info Center isn't working right. Click on the Civ 3 Info Center, and the left-hand navigation opens up the Civ:Revolution Info Center :dubious: Site admins, is there any chance of a fix...

    Wonder completion / IBT order

    I can't recall offhand. If I'm about to complete research on a tech, and the Theory of Evolution is also going to finish building on the same turn, what happens first? I'd hate to "waste" half of the ToE's effect on research that's about to finish anyway.

    Happy Hanukkah!

    I love sitting down with my wife to light the hanukkah candles and watching them burn down on the windowsill. They give such a nice warm glow to contrast with the cold, snowy winter nights. Does anyone else on this forum do anything to celebrate Hanukkah?

    Hopelessly behind...

    After not having played Civ in months, I made the mistake of starting a new game and not building military. I was kind of working on a 5CC Space victory, but then the Persians backstabbed me. Now I'm down to a 1CC on the other continent, Iron is my only resource, and the tech level is mid/late...
