I actually play hihghest settings on 24inch screen 1920*1200 Just because I can.
NICE!!! Do you never have problems with crashes? I guess you don't agree with the dx 9 theory then?

Dont you guys find using dx9 to be a hassle? no auto scrolling on the map edges right?
I have a very strict policy on quitting. I believe that if your capital is taken you should be able to quit, and I act on that policy. Then there are gray areas. Such as 2v1's. Scenarios that I would view quitting as legitimate would probably be a scenario where three nations are about the same tech, about the same size, and two of them gang up on one. That's just unsportsmanlike. Now here's what happened with me once: I was Rome and I attacked another Rome to my south, he beat me back, but I captured his capital and he recaptured it. So his capital was down to one population and he was pretty crippled. So I moved my army north and tried to conquer French cities. I succeeded in conquering one, but he got crossbowmen so I burned it. So I gobbled up a bunch of citystates and became massive. I didn't resent them for joinly attacking me, in fact I expected it. I was much larger than they were and I had attacked them BOTH in the past (and my empire was growing really close to them). I held them off for over a hundred turns and even started beating Rome until France teched ahead and started pushing me back. I was going to play through til one of them got my capital but the game crashed. Another situation where it would be wrong to quit in a 2v1 situation would be if you attacked one guy and then the other guy joined in to keep you from conquering him. In that situation a peace compromise SHOULD be able to be reached, probably to your loss. If they refuse peace then they're being kind of unreasonable, but you should play through to your capital I think.
When players complain about my quitting when my capital is taken I universally tell them that I will stay if every single one of them says this statement: "I do not care if you cannot win and will not enjoy yourself for the rest of the game. I want you to stay anyway, even though the game will not be any fun for you, because it will make the game more enjoyable for me." And so far that has happened once and I stayed, true to my word. I believe such a policy would preclude me from joining "No Quitters".
NQ rule number 1: When your cap is taken you can quit/leave/concede game.
I did retake my capital twice. and like 10 or more turns later. Mainly because i was fighting somewhere else and came back to kick the ennemy out. But most of the time it's gg.
PFFFFFFFF. First game online. 4 person FFA. One quitted really quick because he had to 'walk the dog '. Afterwards both Poland and Brittain ganged up on me. Not attacking each other while it was a four corner map and they could easily outwing the other one to make a huge dent in his military. After a long struggle (and it looked like they stretched my defeat) they both left the game.
Is this common? That Civ tells the other players left because my connection broke. Or did they just really played to beat someone together? :')
They weren't responsive in the chat as well so it sucked.....
