    Anyone with issues with dual monitor setups?

    Thanks for the post - I am definitely going to see if I can get double monitor displays working...I have had success with them in the past but haven't been provoked to set it up for OW. Soucnd like nows the time. Unfortunatly I am Nvidia so maybe no overlap.

    Announcement: Old World Release!

    I would prefer steam or gog, but at the same time I haven't had any issues so far with Epic: I have been working on OW for months: however, that doesn't mean it isn't a legimate consideration, just reporting my experience. @Stringer1313: it is very interesting that the fact that the OW UI...

    Announcement: Old World Release!

    Old World, Humanoids, Civ 6. One might wish to be poor. Then, one would not have such choices. All 3 are fun now, but Humanoids is the furtherest from release (i.e. more bugs to fix, I guess from my playtime). Civ 6 is the most bloated (which is read by some as more content = better)...

    Is Old World any fun?

    @Solver Having had a fews days to think, I will offer a couple ideas (which are likely not original). First, others are correct I think that OW is better at avoiding the end game doldrums than the competition. Still the problem remains: how to speed the result when there is little actual...

    Is Old World any fun?

    I suppose I should reply to the OP question. Yes, is fun, but it's hard to compare with Civ. I mean I remember games of Civ 1 with some detail with particularly the tension that could be generated (We back up our threats with Nuclear Weapons just when I thought things might be under...

    Is Old World any fun?

    My comments. (1) I have been using a new comp that I build in Dec '20. 32gb mem, i7 cpu, storage on 2 ss drives. Anyway, I haven't had any problem with the game, and I have played nearly to turn 200 (I won then, lol). standard settings. (2) I play tested a lot on gal civ 3, which is a...

    Nobles' Club 255: Louis XIV of France

    Well I played a bit and built Artemis and Oracle. Why not says I? I, you say? I am a putz! After the wonders, I built barracks in three cities and starting churning out axemen. I am blocked in so I have to smash my nearest neighbor to the East. Somehow.

    Loading a save CBP file crashes to desktop

    addI have found the following "fix" by searching about the internet. It looks inexplicable, but when I tested it ... it worked. Not only for a plain vanilla unmodded game, but for a game with the community update mod and supporting mods. Note that I do go choose the "mods" button before...

    Loading a save CBP file crashes to desktop

    I just tried the CP and it looked great, but I had the same problem --- any load of a modded game caused an immediate CTD. I have tried the various workarounds suggested (such as compatibility W8, for example) and got the same result. Sigh, it looks like a great mod.

    [Religion and Revolution]: Drop in and say hallo ...

    Recently got Colonization when it went on sale on Steam. Started looking for mods at once (got heavy into mods with Skyrim and suspected Colonization, which got meh reviews, could be improved a lot) and found TAC, then found that RaR was based on TAC. So I am learning the game for the first...

    Ridiculous Culture Flip a Deal Breaker

    I just finished a dom win, 1786, right after I took Cuzco. I used the trick of putting all units outside the city, in most cases, although I did pick a city here and there for the barracks quick heal, and just posted enough units to hold it. (according to CivAssistII). Of course that doesn't...

    Ridiculous Culture Flip a Deal Breaker

    I don't see the salt thing on the menu...OH...you were speaking figuratively. I like the sentiment! I am trying to drag myself, kicking and screaming, into making peace with this. The whole business of parking outside a city is just bizarre. Oh Well. There is one way to make 100 per cent...

    Ridiculous Culture Flip a Deal Breaker

    I checked this out (last night) and it is true...but you need to do at the start of the game. But on the other hand, having played Civs with all the defaults for about 20 years or so, since Civ 1, and having seen flips here and there, it was never a big deal. I had had Philadelphia flip on me...

    Ridiculous Culture Flip a Deal Breaker

    You got me --- I don't protect my valuable assets with 20 divisions of artillery, cavalry, and infantry, all battle tested veterans or elite units. But it is because I can't afford it. :rolleyes:

    Ridiculous Culture Flip a Deal Breaker

    OK, so I capture an Incan city. I post 20 units in it. I add entertainers til everyone is happy. I crash build a temple, a library, and a courthouse. *Flip* :mad::mad::mad::mad: I read the entire thread on culture flipping. I see Patton's Third army occupying Aachen, say...
