But... but why?

Oop, can't say that; it's a racial slur! In all honesty, what this whole "Hitler can't be in a game because he's a bad guy" debacle boils down to is that "we want to keep this war from happening again, even if it means nobody ever hears about him and never learns about the horrible things he...

Hey guys, long time no see. :) I think I'm having a problem with invasion ships, specifically how the strength of the ship is calculated; apparently invasion ships are given no attacking bonus, even though the combat drop down says they are, and defense ships are only given bonuses for...

Okay, 1 year bump, but I think that's reasonable considering that I haven't visited this forum for 6 months, let alone kept track of some of the events going on around here. I'm not exactly sure of what happened to this idea, did Solver take off with it or is it still just sitting here?

I say grin and bear it; I've been a Noble for several years, and on Civ II I couldn't get past Prince. It's really nothing to be ashamed about. ;)

Am I the only one who thinks those soldiers look stiff?

Yes, it's included in BtS as a mod, along with the others, but I don't remember it having a scenario to its name. It should be there, however.

I was playing Civ II when I was about 8. The nukes scared the heck out of me, but then again they still do now almost 8 years later. ::shivers::

...no nuclear holocaust?!? Just a map generator on the fritz? Disturbing... Made for an interesting game, methinks, with nations scrambling for the wetter, colder climates of the planet. Wait, that wouldn't make a very bad scenario...

You've got a river there? I think not. You're confusing the Dike with the Moai Statues, me thinks.

No, but thanks to Civ IV, anomalies like this one and others, such as the infamous axeman/horse, err, "job" are made possible.

*squints* No typo there?

That's a little UI error; you have to move a colony ship up to a square next to the system you want to settle using the go to command and then you have to use the keypad to move the ship into the system.

In the CivilizationIV.ini file there are some advanced options that should help with your problem. (Skip frames when falling behind, interlacing, etc.)
