Thanks for your reply!

I have a few questions about the compatibilty of the BTS expansion. If I don't have warlords installed will BTS add support for the features that were added in warlords (such as vassalage and the leaders that it added)? I've read it has some of the functionality that warlords has, but what...

Dude, seriously. Chill out. If you take a look at history you'll see these aren't new problems. They've existed in the U.S. and infact every country on earth, just in different forms.

Is there any mods that allow you to sell or buy soldiers from neighbor civs? I think this would add a new dimension to the game.

Yes, I'm playing Cyrus who has the trait. Thanks for the replies.

I've noticed the happiness bonus in all my cities. What is it from?

People have been saying this for over half a century and the field of AIs of today aren't anywhere close to being where we expected them to be just 10 years ago. Plus, it is a stretch to Civ really has an AI. Real AIs learn and are able to adapt to new situations which aren't expected or...

I agree. It was always nice to see my advisors suggesting to expand the empire, or build this or that unit. It was a nice touch.

I've noticed that the AI is able to trade techs with me when it doesn't have the alphabet, I can tell because it allows me to offer it to them. This makes me wonder how much tech really effects the AI. Are there other things it can do without the proper techs that a human can't?

I was kind of thinking about this too. When ever the AI demands something it would nice to be able to respond with a list of preset excuses. For example if it asks or demands that you go to war with another civ I'd like to be able to choose why I don't want to. Anything from, "Just give us 10...

Thanks for the reply, although these changes did not reduce CPU usage at all. I even set it down to 10 fps, and saw no difference except for inferior video quality. This is incorrect, the CPU time is the percentage of the amount of time the processor is spending executing a single process...

I find it very annoying that Civ4 and the Warlords extension both use 100% of the CPU time. It causes my laptop to become very hot and also forces the fan to be constantly running, blowing out endless amounts of hot air. To me this seems like the kind of thing that should have been patched...

You have to remember that fotified units recieve a defense bonus. Plus it is likely that the city gives it extra bonuses too. When you are attacking are you using catapults or other siege units to bombard the city defenses? Getting the city defenses down below 20% will make a much larger...

In my most recent game I destroyed the Romans, except for their one island city. After declaring peace I look at the diplo screen and it says "You've grown to powerful for us" when hovering over the redded vassal state option. What does this mean? Out of the several games I've played with...

Has anyone thought about providing videos of themselves playing civ games? I'd be interested to see how others deal with the problems that can occur. I know there are numerous guides but I think videos of entire games would be a good way to learn and perhaps entertaining too. Even the more...
