I notice that playing in windowed mode I can't scroll around when I move my mouse to the edges. Is there a way around this? I know in Civ4 you could add a line to the config but it doesn't seem to work now.

It's because they play the game as they experience the game for the first time. As MOST buyers are apt to be. Rather than playing through the accumulation of all Civ experiences from Civ 1. The grognard and the casual market are very different. Guess which one is bigger?

I for one, welcome this change, as I was subjected to a massive naval invasion of my island japan, outnumbered 2 to 1, that I held off because i wisely chose to invest all my land units into artillery. Only two russian invasion units got off the boat and they were quickly decimated. This...

If you look at the subject headers, not all the complaints were technical. Remember the first time you saw Spearmen beat Tank? Haven't heard anybody :):):):):) about that in a while... Please do not use foul language.

And the difference between then and now is...?

I present to you, "Civ3 WAY BETTER than Civ4" wharrrgarbbbl. CivFanatic forum headlines from Civ4's release five years ago. Lions attacking units... How stupid is that!? (Multi-page thread 1 2) Entire Game is a bug (Multi-page thread 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9) Stupid, Evil Civ IV... This game...

The only thing that made Civ4 worth playing, was the Rhye's Fall of Civ RAND mod, which introduced unique historical victories, stability caps on expansion, civil wars, and re-emerging empires. Mother@#$%ing loved it. That said, Civ5 has a very short learning curve, is definitely very...

I know in the past, you'd simply add MouseScrolling = 1 but that doesn't seem to work this time around. Anybody know?

So I finally managed to figure this out on my own, though it's not ideal, it's workable. Saved my butt in war where i got nuked repeatedly by a more advanced civ. I managed to evacuate my frontline cities converting my population into workers. It definitely felt more real as hordes of...

so which file in rfc rand holds the calculations on the tech level of emerging civs?

IMO, it's rather unrealistic that whenever a new nation forms from within an existing empire it takes on the tech level of the current average of technology of the world. Is there anyway to set it so that the tech level of a new nation formed from an existing one is the same as the old nation...

I'm interested in merging this mod that allows you to abandon/raze cities and it leaves behind workers (sorta like what civ 3 did) as I frequently raze cities because they're too closely placed, but would like some slaves. However, I don't know too much about modding, and my attempts to get...

I don't know if this was meant to be done on purpose, but I spent all this time taking an isthmus only to find out after I built a fort, it wouldn't let my ships cross. Does anybody know where in the python code this is, maybe I can mod/correct it myself?

Civ 3 is an awesome game. Especially when you work so hard on your empire and then one small mistake messes it ALL up. Well real history is like that. So I'm wondering, have any of you ever played an entire game, at your appropriate skill level WITHOUT RELOADING?? Barring catastrophic...
