Thanks for all the info! Finally got back to the game and looked up the Economic Overview. As I thought, I am not allied with any city states. However, I do have 8 sources of local iron available (who knew?). 8 - 4 (traded away) = 4. 4 total - 3 iron units = 1 iron available. Makes sense! It...

Thanks, I will look for the economy overview (not sure how I missed this). To clarify, if I was not trading away the iron I get from city states, those would appear in my "total" at the top of the screen? Also, I'm sure I encountered city states with a "friendly" disposition toward me, but I...

Thanks for the reply. You're right, I do have two catapults, so that's the "3 used." So you're saying that the "4 total" does not include what I'm trading. So I have an additional 4 iron (from somewhere) that I'm trading to another civ. I don't recall making deals for iron with any other civ...

Forgive me if this question's been asked. At the top it shows I have 1 iron. Hovering over it reveals: 1 [Iron]. 4 total, 3 used. However, I have just traded 4 Iron to another civ for 30 turns for a lump sum of gold. I also have 1 samurai (iron unit) on the board. So if I only have 4...

Yeah, for what it's worth, I did re-install the "up to date" legacy drivers from ATI with no luck. I see that folks with other cards are having the same issue, but I think it's quite a coincidence that most of them are stemming from the X1950. Perhaps there's something common to all these...

Same exact issue here with main menu, in-game icons (for tech, especially), and illustrations of social policies and wonders are "off-kilter." It's like certain pixels are "shifted" or garbled, but the rest is fine. Also, not sure if it's related, but when I roll my mouse over certain menu...

Thanks for all the great tips and "Flanking 101." You are correct, I am confused! But this is great news, and now makes much more sense. As I was understanding it (incorrectly) the cats could just keep hitting my city and kill my units without actually attacking. But since the other units...

Thanks for the replies. These settings are in game. If I can't get it to work, what should I look to change in the .ini file?

Great, thanks for the quick info! So how is the combat order of a stack determined? Is there anything I can throw at this stack in order to root out the catapults? Or will they always be protected? The Ottomans will have some hell to pay when I get home tonight!

Still fairly new to the game and coming up against a surprise aggressor who has besiged my capital with a hefty stack of units, including a few catapults that are steadily breaking down my city's defenses, though my units inside (mostly longbows) remain unaffected by collateral damage while the...

Hi Fanatics! Not sure what rock I've been under for the last 4 years, but I've just now jumped onto the Civ4 bandwagon and am thoughroughly obsessed. I have Civ4 Complete, and the game works beautifully on my desktop. But when I fire it up on my wife's brand new laptop, the screen image...
