Or even the government, in the case of Alan Turing

I would love to have Linux support. Linux (Ubuntu) is my main OS. I have a dual-boot setup with Windows XP, but would much rather stick to Ubuntu. At the moment, I can't run any Civ game well (except for FreeCiv). This makes me incredibly Civ-deprived. It'd help keep me sane if there was a...

I used Cedega last summer to install Civ 3. It worked just fine. I have many saved games to show I was successful at using it. Since then, however, I've upgraded Ubuntu from 8.10 to 9.10. Civ 3 no longer will load. I'll get the startup screen, but then it just goes back before getting to...

Looking at the Firaxis site, it looks like they show an Aztec jaguar.

I finally got around to trying the AE. I generally liked everything (you can choose what color you are- yay! More resources- yay! More controls overall- yay!). What I didn't like about it was that it seemed like the AI was super focused on building lots of cities, and generally close...

Schizoid Personality Disorder*, while sharing many traits with autism/asperger's, is quite different. Schizoid is a personality disorder, whereas autism is a difference in neurology. I suppose it could be a neurology thing, depending how you see personality, but at least according to the DSM...

You probably won't have to. I'm sure your kids will figure out that there are gay people out there. You can't shelter them forever. I actually figured out I was gay by the time I was in 7th grade. My parents didn't need to tell me about it. I'm just lucky my parents were supportive when...

I recall for the longest time being annoyed I couldn't get CTP to work on my machine (also with XP). I was able to install it on another machine, but it wouldn't work on mine. Finally, I read a solution someplace: - Right click on the shortcut to the program to open the properties - Go...

I think is worth the cost (or will be once it arrives for me). As it was mentioned above, Colonization is a different game than Civilazation that just happens to be built on the same engine. This means the graphics will be similar, but the way you play the game won't. From what I understand...

I just found this. It sounds like a great mod. Any chance of having it uploaded again? Also, is it BTS-compatible? Thanks for doing this mod.

Strategyonly, in your screenshot, there's a blue frown face next to Darius I. I'm guessing this is a mod to show opponent's attitudes towards you or to show relative strength? Where'd you get it at? Thanks.

Also, I found this thread which the problem's discussed. Aside from resetting your computer, there doesn't appear to be any other solution as of yet.

I believe I've had this happen to me. Sometimes it'll tell you this if you've had a lot of programs running. Try simply restarting your computer with the disc in and see if that helps. When your computer loads up, don't open any other programs- and close down anything that might be using a...

I like it! It even looks like you can have "diplomacy" with the Barbarians... or at least some sort of contact: http://media.xbox360.ign.com/media/947/947005/img_4983292.html I do have hope for the game based on that review. Now if only I had a console to play it on... I guess Christmas is...

I started playing a game of CTP2 a few weeks ago. I realized when I did that I miss one aspect of the diplomacy: your mood. In CTP2, you have the option of sending a request as either nice, peaceful, and respectful (perhaps treating the AI as an equal)... or you could be threatening (or many...
