Oh boy....I just can't believe how great this mod is. Dynamite!

I desperately hope you're right.:)

Willem; At the risk of yet imposing on your kindness for sharing your expertise again, I most humbly ask for a moment of your consideration.;) I have an Emachine with.... 82845 GL graphics card Celeron 2.19 Ghz cpu 768 meg of ram 55 GB hd only PCI expansion slots 1. What do you...

Thank you, Willem.....bad news but it's the straight scoop.;)

So, as I understand it, anyone with an Intel extreme graphics card like the 82845 GL is totally SOL, correct?

How about "I feel your pain" for +10 happiness? Or maybe "I didn't inhale" for +5 happiness?

Ironically, that sounds amazingly similar to the USA. Maybe so many are right when they say the price of affluence is decadence.

Civrules; Thank you so very much for sharing your thoughts on the AI's strategic and tactical competence. It's music to my ears (eye's?) to read it gets your blessing. To me, "nothing" is more important than the AI's performance. It sounds wonderful!

Wasn't it also the mighty Al Gore who "didn't inhale"? haha...the guy is great!! His own home state didn't even vote for him....classic.

I'll be dying a horrible death waiting for Rhye's expansion mod (simply sensational for CivIII).

Excellent post. I feel the same way but fear with the infamous "dumbing down" procedure that our public schools have so successfully installed here in the US that true strategy/turn based games will, at best, continue to slowly decline in popularity. All the more reason to truly savor CivIV.:)

This is wonderful news. I've always hated the mindless "speed of light" railroad function. Now, the last third of the game will be far, far more interesting. WooHOO!!

Well then, I'm sure there's some govt "affirmative action" program relating to cpu games to warm your bleeding heart.

Besides smaller map (Grrrr..) I read on the pre- release info the turns are reduced to 400. If so, will the mods and/or editor be able to change that?

Deep Blue; Do you think there is a reasonable chance that CivIV's AI will be improved as much as CivIII's was from CivII? While there are endless complaints, many justified, regarding the failures of CivIII's AI, to me, relative to CivII, it was HAL.
