Do not seem to have this problem as much with 'quick game speed', but at normal speed end of game is impossible...severe game freezing with big wars at the end. System: Dual P4xeon 2.4 GH 1 gig RAM 6600 GT Geforce, 128MB Windows Cache is separate from the system drive on a SATA 10K...

2 different games. Built the U.N. in both. In one, was the largest civ, in the other was not. In the 1st, got to decide on the elections/resolutions...got non-proliferation passed, which I think takes nukes off the table. Got the choice to hold an election for Sec. General or not. In the...

Had some real performance issues initially....largely resolved through the following: 1. Defraging 2. Drvie manipulation---Installing the game on a non-boot drive (SATA Raptor, 10,000 RPM--highly recommended). Any system calls are thus on the boot drive while program calls are to another...

built the secret police headquarters and later switched back to democracy...not only did the function go away (which I expected), the building went a way too...

Marine armies...you can make an army of marines (especially if you have the militrary academy and way especially if you have Pentagon) that can really hit coastal cities hard...the army retains amphibious abilities. As for paratroopers, however, an army of paratroopers can't jump...added to...

On certain maps (say you have a land mass to yourself naturally or by conquest), naval combat may predominate. Why not allow elite naval units to produce great leaders? If the unit then makes it back to a port, that leader can produce a fleet (like an army) with Naval Academy as a small...
