Thank you Petek.

The driver I have is the newest from HP's site. In the past when I have tried to installer newer graphics drivers directly from AMD, my switchable graphics broke. Specifically, the system would switch graphics cards without my control, which was obviously a disaster for gaming as one is the...

Dxdiag attached

Heerlo - thanks for posting. I read about how to do the validation, and performed it, but all files were validated without a problem (no issue was discovered) To anyone else reading this thread, is there a way I can just work around the issue by disabling krakatoa from appearing in any new...

Happened again today. Please help if you can!

I have a strange bug that started a few months ago, and its HIGHLY reproducable. When I discover krakatoa (for example, I have my first astronomy boat), I lose all video. To be clear, I get the screen saying I discovered another natural wonder, and a short time after I press OK I loose video...

Did you try and sabotage alexander's diplomatic victory by panting all your spies in his city states and going for a result instead of / in addition to trying to buy them out? Just curious.

I attacked an AI scout on say turn 4 with a spearman I had, and I didn't do as much damage as I would have with the same stunt on the previous civ expansion. I looked more closely and the scout had two promotions! (the ones that improve defense and healing). Has there been a change...

To the OP, to get your second pathfind out as soon as possible (and therefore find more ruins), try: - settling on a hill' and - setting your city to production focus (you should be able to work a hill b/c you have so many tiles to choose from); and - choosing from the first ruin you find...

I was playing an immortal game where I was employing specialist spam in at least one of my core cities, fueled by cargo ships to feed all the specialists. I started to notice that less and less of the tiles where being worked, until I finally reached the point that the only tiles being...

To the OP - have you run into any games where you were going down the piety tree, but the AI took jesuit education before you got there? What would you take as a fallback for reformation? Also, what about neighbors with strong religion - overwhelming some of your cities. Spending faith to...

I am playing a game as a shoshone. I can see some ruins on an island, which I will be able to get if I study optics, turn my pathfind into a boat, and move to the island. Will I still be able to pop tech from the ruin (so long as it has been three huts since my last tech pop)? To put the...

I didn't see settler blocking mentioned in this thread. In single player, against the AI at immortal, I find scouts very useful for slowing down or disrupting the AI's second city build. (the scout can be used to make them move at close to one square per turn even without declaring war by...

If you have forrest, you could buy a couple workers, get mining after writing, and then tree chop to beat the AI to the Great Library. EDIT - (removing acronyms, BTW, to the previous poster, what is CB?)

Just to clarify, it was an immortal difficulty level game. Also, their capital was on a hill surrounded by river. Between the difficulty level, the terrain, their bowman, their city walls, I thought I could get the tile much sooner as per above than by taking them over. I also had the...
