This version seems to be more stable than any other i've got to say, really great so far, just a couple bugs I've observed. As others have reported the tech tree doesn't seem to mesh very well. It is entirely possible to get to Robotics and mechanized infantry prior to researching steam power...

I thought the packaging for the mods was a simple modinfo xml file? See Dale's post on his blog: http://www.weplayciv.com/forums/entry.php?22-The-way-to-a-man-s-heart-is-through-his-modinfo-and-civ5mod-files.& I know so very little but that seems a viable way around it to me, and basic...

QFT It really better be steamplay compatible or I'll be dissappointed.

have you tried all the peeps being online? I don't know if that would make a difference for a VPN like Hamachi but if that works then you could also try using the workaround that somebody posted for playing single steam copy offline lan games if you really want to play offline

I too like it. I think the voice acting with a few exceptions could use some work though. Too many of the lines seem too neutral when they shouldn't be. I wish the units still spoke their languages as well, it adds that kind of character and reality to the civs I think. As far as Egyptian...

I agree, I am not a "competitive" mper, I mostly play with family and friends. and its frustrating not to be able to see the pretty animations. why not just make it an option on the game settings? so that the game host determines it so someone with a slow comp doesn't slow down the game because...

Yeah, honestly Coptic would be a greater anachronism, as at least Egyptian Arabic is the current language spoken in Egypt. Coptic is genetically related to be sure but so very distant in time that the changes from modern Coptic to Ramesses II's Egyptian would be massive.

Xyth, a couple of gameplay issues: 1. Maybe I or my wife are just not skilled enough to take advantage of it but have you played Elizabeth? her trait combo sounds great, but in practice seems to lead to stagnant underdeveloped cities and (ironically) a terrible economy.... We tend to use...

Mr. Schaefer, can you say anything about Civ 4 on Steamplay? A lot of people bought the PC version when it was on sale last weekend and now they can't download the Mac version nor can they buy the Mac version. What is it Aspyr intended to do with Steamplay? Is it just if you purchase Civ 4 after...

I seriously doubt that that is what is intended to occur. Now as to whether people who bought Civ 4 before Steam for Mac's release should get free Mac version download now that it is out via SteamPlay? that is murkier. What I can almost guarantee is NOT working as intended is that right now if...

I'll sign. I want to see what happens from the sheer paradoxical nature of this thread, will it be like putting a bag of holding in another bag of holding? the plane implodes?

Look at it this way, Valve as a company has a track record for doing right by the consumer, they make it easy to deal with DRM without some awful draconian system like Ubisoft or Spore had originally, no numbers of Machines, no hunting down old CD keys etc. If 2k games (and/or Firaxis) was set...

Yep that did the trick :) I'll edit this post later on to post a non-gremlin version of the agamemnon file, and hopefully I can test it a little in multiplayer on friday

If only it were that simple... that's not what's happening here, the directories are correct, there are no duplicate .ini files and the .ini file has modular loading on. Aside from a gremlin in Agamemnon's Gametext file (an -> character in his pedia entry), this seems to be the only error...

I don't have time to fully test it tonight but the Windows version throws tons of xml errors. One is easily fixable (gremlin) but the others seem related to changes made to religions? error after error talking about the "Info class incorrect" for every religion in Civ4BuildingsInfos.xml... Dunno...
