I installed and activated CCMAT and played for a bit as Genghis Khan. When I restarted the game, it told me that the required mod wasn't there. I went into the mods directory and the Mongolia mod/DLC is missing. Any ideas what's going on? I tried to find how to download the mod manually, but...

Just wondering whether it's unique to my system or whether the crash is somehow triggered by the save. 525 crashes on load. 550 (which starts you off at 525) crashes after you do some routine moves and end your turn. 575 does the same thing as soon as you end turn 525. Any corroborating...

If you were a unique unit, what would you be? Era? Cost? Special abilities? Strength?:rolleyes:

Compared to other members on CFC how good a driver are you? And for those who aren't of driving age or don't drive, how well do you think you drive compared to other people in your situation? Discuss. I'm interested to see the results and if they end up like the Facebook poll.:crazyeye:

Just wait and see "up and atom" win.

To the OP, you know that by changing just one line, you can have as many permanent alliances as you wish?

Most multiplayer games have turn timers which force players towards war and away from micromanagement. Nearly all games are practically over by the end of the middle ages. It's one of the reasons I don't play the regular multiplayer. I just play with a group of personal friends, and we take our...

I've never used the Worldbuilder, but I'm nearly 100% confident that using it does not affect your score.

Regardless of which techs you have, I think your main problem is your rate of research. Keep in mind that at the beginning of the game, you get 9 to 12 beakers per turn. Focus on upping the research rate early by building commerce. Especially if you're a financial leader, picking on coastal...

You've got to watch the video the entire way through. There are so many running gags, the best of which is, of course, the goombas gag. I think the climax happens at 17:30 or something like that.

Once upon a time, some cruel modder decided to mess with the original Super Mario Brothers for the NES to create a level of sheer frustration. This was the result: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6204903272262158881 The vulgar gentleman speaking in the video did not actually play...

Geezer, I would encourage you to try out a lower difficulty level. Unlike some other TBS games, Civilization has a wide variety of handicap sets which make it suitable for anyone at any level. Welcome to the Civ community, and I hope you get as immersed into this awesome game as many of the...

Welcome to the forums. I don't think anybody has heard of this problem. Look into the Bug Forums or have this post transferred there.

Check the "Victory Conditions," usually F8, to see if "No City Razing" is turned on. Perhaps the option just happens to be intrinsic in your WB save.

As a general guide, the civilizations that are strong today will be easier to play for someone starting out (China, India, Japan). Some civilizations are on the stronger side but have unique challenges (Mongolia for military, Spain/Portugal/England for colonialism, Netherlands for diplomacy)...
