I am enjoying the game so far, quite a bit; however there are some MAJOR shortcomings in the available information. 1. I need a city list with what is being built and how long until it is done. Jumping city to city is a PIA. 2. I need a UNIT list. The Civ V one was great - could list types...

This is how the Federal Reserve works, except of course with dollars. :lol:

and here it is! I hope. It's a LOT of changes! Alondin, Master of the Obvious

Apparently, just like in old Civ IV, you only need Education tech to create a Military Academy; however, when you look at the icon for building it on the Great General's action buttons, there is a bright red 'Requires Military Science' text. Yet you can build Military Academy anyway, after...

Yes, and I'm one of the crack programmers involved in early development. I bring my amazing skills in a language foreign to most of the programmers to bear, cleaning up a couple hundred errors in the early releases. The language? ENGLISH!!! :lol: Most of the illustrious folks working on...

Sinapus, read Firehawk's admittedly convoluted sentence, you will see that the Public Schools are NOT a National Wonder. At this instant. Alondin, Master of Reading Firehawk-ese

I think a better approach might be to find and list out the available colors in the Civ4ColorVals.xml file, and use them as a guide. Alondin, Master of the Obvious

"I don't know if this follows. I have conquered a city with workers in it and this has never happened. Generally, you automatically capture or kill the workers if there is only 1 military unit left with X workers and you attack with only one unit (and not X + 1 units)." For some reason on...

I had that happen to me in playtesting. I also had them invade my territory, capture a pair of workers, and then declare peace to retreat, and most annoying, when I had a massive force at their capital they declared peace and threw me out. I think it is the Great Statesman that do this, the...

Simkodavid, Libraries producing only 1 culture point was intentional for game balance (I opposed it but they usually laugh at me! ;) ). I would expect you can edit the XML file, buildings should have it. Haven't looked though. Alondin, Master of Breaking Things (aka playtester)

I'm playing ViSa 3.1, normal barbarians, and I have been attacked by lots of units; in fact, I just conquered a level 16 barbarian city, and I note from the messages that barbarian cities are building Great Statesmen. All I can think of is that you have so many civs and units running around that...

tonedog, Yes to custom games - its the recommended way to go. Huge maps MIGHT have problems, it depends a lot on your system - what operating system, how much memory, etc - see the discussions of MAF but for the most part it seems to now run well for most people. Your disaster experience...

Winterheat, My experience is that when peace breaks out, you get the message that peace has occurred (along with trumpets!), so if you don't get that perhaps there is a bug somewhere. I agree that notification about use of the Great Statesman would be a good idea. Alondin, Master of the...

How does the release version compare to the current SVN 172? Is it the same thing, or do I need to download / install the released 3.1? Alondin the Curious

Here's something more useless, sometimes the City Guard would give the Woodsman promotion to my airplanes.... Alondin, Master of Finding the Useless
