The thinly-veiled Bush v. Gore event is hilarious and painful for us Democrats. And so is the fast food one.

Since I installed the BBAI mod, I haven't been able to progress past the industrial age. None of the strategies I used beforehand work, and I keep getting wtfpwned by the much better AI. I play on Prince difficulty, and I'm not the best player in the world. Do you guys have any tips on how...

I have encountered several problems with the Civ4 Complete Edition: 1. None of the mods in the vanilla game work, e.g. American Revolution. When I load a mod, the game restarts and the name of the mod is displayed in the upper right corner of the main menu. However, I am unable to play the...
