I have posted this on the bugs area but I don't suppose many people go there. Sorry moderators. I have been playing CIV 4 for years and years. Today - WHILE playing a scenario suddenly there were no units on the map. They are there, I can see them when I look into a city for example, but not...

I have been playing CIV4BTS scenarios for years - I means years and years. Today, during a scenario, suddenly I saw no units on the map. They are there and I can see them when I click on a city but I can't see them on the map. I have rebooted, changed options and rebooted, returned graphics...

Doing better now. Came in fourth. But still at Noble! Played Egypt and took most of Africa but was behind on tech and Russians were launching tactical nukes elsewhere. Will try China next.

Played a few games without Kmod at Noble just to get a feel. Obviously I need to change because I can't get close even at Noble. I am generally a builder but I guess I need to adjust. Very interesting and different. Do I try and kill the barbs or wipeout the competition?

Nice but adjust the date in the game?

Played as Russia. Nice scenario. Will try others.

Forget oil too!

WARNING - This map has no coal! At least none that I can find so don't rush that Steampower-RR technology. Not going to help!

I have both and now play only Civ 4. 4 is actually a more complex game in that there are a lot more options. 1. Hexagon vs square - Better on CIV 5 but not that significant. 2. Stacking means a lot more units than 5, a LOT. Essentially you should think about siege units like ammunition. 3...

Coopervegas - I have played hundreds of hours and find no evidence of anything wrong. Odds are just that - 96% is NOT 100%. You can lose four in a row and then win 97 in a row. It is RANDOM. I note you continue to raise the issue but will not post your results only claims. Let's see your...

Attack, don't defend!

I played as Union and found it pretty easy at Noble. Took out the Confederacy and then marched South through Mexico and took S. America. Turned around and took Canada (Confederacy again!). Then took on Russia and various parts of Africa. Eventually launched spaceship but won on domination...

I went back to CIV IV about 2 months ago primarily because of scenarios. Just seems that CIV 5 is not suitable for historical scenarios. My first game back was quite funny as I built cities and left them unguarded so the barbs just took them! Anyway, I adapted and started building stacks...
