Hoping someone will read this and can help as it seems there is little activity in this (part of the) forum lately. Played FFH2 many years ago and keep coming back as it's just so good. So I wanted to give it a new try on my fairly recent PC with with Win10... Tried about a year ago and the...

Yeah, I was there for Civ1 as well. My earliest significant PC game memory is Wizardry I (Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord) and Ultima 3 (Exodus). I used to play these on first generation Mac (without HD...). :)

Oh yes I use it extensively, so definitely not lost on me :) There is a difference though between in-game help (Colopedia) and a separate manual, and I would argue that the latter is key to help determine whether a player wants to invest playtime in a new mod. To some extent, the version...

Nightinggale, many thanks for the summary descriptions of the various Civ4Col mods. Very useful to get a high level idea of what to expect. Fully agree with alex15: in general, the biggest weakness of any mod for any game is typically the lack of documentation. That said TAC comes with at...

Personally I have never and probably never would try a modded game until I have tried it un-modded. Civ4Col is not an exception. My strong recommendation would be to give it a go with the TAC mod after a vanilla game before you abandon it. TAC really provides a better and more balanced...

Kendon, I'd be interested to know how you made Montreal into your main city? Was it by abandoning/rebuilding or is there another "trick"? I have actually gotten used my "island capital" in my current game and the added logistics around it. But still afraid that it might become a nightmare to...

Embarrassingly enough I knew I was on a small island before settling, but: 1) it was a prime spot with access to something like 5 special resources (again, playing RAR with extended city radius) 2) I like to have a few strategically placed "island fortresses" that can serve both as a haven for...

I'm surprised no-one has been in similar situation and/or that question has never been raised... Or is it just that this forum has become very sleepy? :) Am I the only one playing this great game out there? I'm playing RAR btw, but I think this question is not mod-specific...?

Breathing some life into this old thread... I'm very much into Colonization after a long break. Essentially, loved the original game from 90s (played it on Mac which btw had much better graphics than PC version back then) then rediscovered the Civ4 version when it came out. Like many, I was...

Sorry if this is covered elsewhere (a search yielded no answer) but is there a way to switch your capital city (i.e. the first town you founded) to another one (i.e. one you founded later)? In my current game, my first town is on an island and you can imagine the fun each time I am given a...
