I too can confirm the Grigori adventurer bug. Still the coolest unit in the game, though. Mulitplayer games seem to go out of sync within a few turns of starting.

We've never had any trouble running mods over the internet before. Perhaps I won't have this problem with "Fire" - otherwise, we'll just use direct IP.

I have the following issue when trying to play Fall from Heaven 2 multiplayer online: I can't see any of the games my friends are creating, and they cannot see games I create. My friends and I are all running the "016j" version of FFH2. They have no trouble seeing one another and playing...

I groan when I get these ones in random select: Hatshepsut Isabella Bismark Ghengis Khan Saladin I probably ought to put Montezuma on there, too, but after I took three people out with him last night, I just can't bring myself to do it.

What happens if I'm playing a game in multiplayer at Prince difficulty level, with two friends who are at Monarch level, and one other friend at Noble and two comps? Do the comps play as if they were at Noble, Prince or Monarch?

Considering I still can't win a game at Prince, a Monarch game should be interesting. :rolleyes: I'm going to give it a shot anyway, though. I'll probably go for a few practice games first. I've yet to try the Inland Sea map, but it seems really good for a tech-heavy civ - plenty of finance...

Thanks guys. My war went just fine. I waited until I had Kremlin and started pumping out infantry, when I had about 20, I attacked. Took down nearly all of russia on my own (another human player started attacking them after I did and grabbed their last few cities.) Anyway, that set me up for...

So, you've hit that point in the game where everything seems to be doing well. Your economy is stable, your research is on schedule, you have enough defenses to hold of all but the most determined enemy. There's only one problem: you're 100 points behind. This is the situation I seem to...

In the expansion there was a counter-building. Spies trained in a city with that building were far superior to ordinary spies, and could break through the hunter-seeker algorithm (with a greatly reduced chance of success.) One of the factions, the Data Angels, I believe, started with that...

I think radeon is pushing to make pci-express the format for all future video cards

heh, I had the sound file for the drones thing as the "shut down" sound for my computer for a long time. SMAC rules. No AGP from Dell anymore, eh? That blows. I wonder why they're doing that. Isn't it preferred by the video card manufacturers?

I've got a 3 year old Dell 4550 and I've got an AGP controller - can't remember whether I had that put in special, though. Actually, I'm shopping for a video card in the same price range as the OP. I was looking at either a Radeon 9600xt ($75 on eBay) or a radeon 9800 Pro ($100 on eBay). I'm...

I have to say, I'm disappointed with the Immortals as well. They just don't compare with many of the other early UUs - even axemen and swordsmen can trash them.

What's Poly?
