Nictel, you are a bloody god send
did exactly what you said, it worked
only difference being that as soon as i started the installer up, it didn't ask for the location of the .exe
i had actually intended to start this post with a mini-rant about Vista, but tried what you said, and decided against it (but im still keeping the first two lines though, cause its more or less the truth
*start of mini-rant*
#$%$ING WINDOWS VISTA
gotta complicate EVERY DAMN THING POSSIBLE
*end of mini-rant*
i would like to point out that i didnt use Vista until Feb. of this year (i turned 18 ) and my dad got me a new comp (it was actually a refurbished one, but in terms of specs (OS aside) it was better than my old comp) so up until then, i had been using the way more game friendly XP and i had used the old blank .exe trick to install Blue Marble
slightly off topic, but i played my first, full-length, game of BtS today
i lost (to Hatshepsut, who acted like a friggin rabbit during the early game, which lead to her having a Cultural Victory...)
but i played it from start to finish all in one sitting
though, given that i started with Civ Rev, Civ IV confused the hell outta me (and still does O.o), so i played a custom game with random civ and leader with standard sized map with the time condition removed (i turtle like hell) and i was playing on settler, cause i iz nub
i probably would've won with a Space Race victory if Shaka hadnt randomly declared war on me several times, which lead to me having to switch the tech i was researching just so i could survive his war elephant attacks...
yes, i feel proud of the fact that, even though i lost, i played an entire match through to its end, cause usually i get bored and go play something else >.>
