Yes, I did. From highest to medium to lowest, but it doesn't change anything. Also lowered the animation options (single units, fast movement, stuff like that). Also brought down the actual screen resolution. The weird thing is that I played dozens of games on this computer without more...

Any ideas, anyone? I'm playing BtS, unmodded, most recent patch. Not really playing anymore though...

I've been having some graphics problems recently. The blue workers and black rivers disappeared after I hit the windows key, but the invisible units are here to stay, it seems. Even when I reboot and start a new game it doesn't get reset. (The city info banners are also gone btw.) I just...

I had a CTD, and would like to reproduce it with this flagged, but [starts to whisper] I cannot find CivilizationIV.ini... What folder should it be in?

That would fall under a GP farm, surely. That would fall under a GP farm, surely. :p I like the mention of the defensive unit (weak) production city, in the actual game examples. I use similar cities to crank out spies or missionaries non-stop, so my real cities won't miss production turns...

Hah, I never even considered playing a OCC as philo... :D

Hah, that's crazy!

Well, the elves could be excluded from the bonus, as they don't really need it to begin with. Another idea is to have a special worker unit at the start that can (slowly) chop forests, or indeed move back the worker techs as mentioned by others. Edited: Or all workers could chop forests from...

I agree with the posters that mention worker inaction as a huge handicap for the AIs. Forest locations cripple them enormously. Perhaps it would be better if forests with roads or rivers yielded one commerce, so the tech rate isn't stuck at the palace rate. I have no idea what the...

Hah, I lost my juicy capital to hippus horsemen the other day, so I tried them out for myself. They're easy to get, great to have, and bring in tons of money.

Isn't the idea that the barbarian civs can build more cities early on? Just cottage a couple of those and tech pace shouldn't be that big a problem. I find the Clan in AI hands quite pesky as it is... I like the rubber band mechanism that blacknight mentions, but isn't that in the game...

Is it possible to make worker actions available earlier? I was playing on monarch/ normal speed and an AI hadn't built a gold mine on turn 200. Right next to its capital... If this is not desirable, could an advanced start be added where everyone starts with the early worker techs (farming...

No, no, another run with the Aztecs please! :) Perhaps you can demonstrate in (even greater) detail how to get the most out of that UB?

[pulls up chair] I'm having considerable trouble with the AP in a current game, so I'm interested how this works out. Could someone tell me what happens when you raze the AP city?

I started a random/ fractal/ emperor game and got Shaka. I appear to be on a continent with Augustus and Japan. Not only do we share the continent, they're _really_ close. I'm doing well for the moment, but I'm wondering if my war preparations should continue, or if it's better to fortify the...
