My Gold Edition always worked on my windows 7 system, and currently on windows 8. BTS disc works on 7 definitely, never tried it on my new one. My friend has Civ5 on windows 7 and works fine too :)

I agree with the disagree above :P I think noble is a brilliant starting point, you and the AI are level pegging in terms of beakers generated and units at start, no bonuses. This was where I started and I lost like every game when I began playing lol (didn't even finish most games) I think I...

And I just bought Civ 3 complete for £4!! (~$6!!) if only I'd looked!

:o I play this game solely so I can brush up on my Leonard Nimoy accent

Hm I don't think the numpad keys work for this, only the numbers at the top, thats what I'd try first.

yes please :) not sure how much time I have in the near future though, and not played civ much at all for a few months. Should I return, this is where I'll be :p

AFAIK only BTS has a patch where you don't need the cd, vanilla + warlords come fully patched but you need the cd for them I'm afraid...

I think its when there's some XML files/references missing - the TXT_KEY_XXXXXX stuff (which displays a proper name when it has been given one). It happens even with plain CIV sometimes. I can only think of finding the reference (should be easy enough if you know where the problem lies) or a...

with those points in mind it actually makes an interesting comparison - the quick production you can get from forests vs the productive land you eventually benefit from. cool :)

while we're on the subject of forests/jungle, the latter requires Iron working, which can be a pain in a heavy jungle start, because you ain't doing anything for a while. Jungles give unhealthiness, no bonus and also spread quicker IIRC? I wonder why jungles are so lame, there are no redeeming...

you can chop forests outside your culture for some hammers, it decreases with distance (and I think would be more if it was in your culture) I sometimes do this when a neighbour is threatening some forest tiles just outside a city that has low culture, so I chop the forests so the AI can't :p...

I said in the bullpen I've been waiting for a new lonely hearts game and I've not even played it yet! Had an exam last week, so I can do what I want for a few months :) monarch/normal/no huts up to 1500/1600 summut??

I think I've had occurrences like this possibly because the ingame option is ticked but the ini file said something different. I think my situation was the game was ticked as full screen, but the ini file said windowed mode but Civ opened in fullscreen anyway. Not sure why that would happen, but...

Yes in fact :p When I read the OP I actually had in mind that the city wasn't captured at all yet, and was planning which cities to take by seeing which one had the wonder/holy city. Incidentally :)
