Hey guys, Im trying to play at a higher level than I normally do and am having difficulties trading techs. I know that at the higher levels, it is almost impossible to stay ahead of the tech race by researching alone, but my question is what really determines whether a civ will trade you a...

Hey guys, I play on normal and am having problems expanding fast enough to be competitive with the AIs. I have even turned off barbs but still can only get about 3 cities before I'm basically surrounded. I play on a small map btw since my computer is not the greatest. When I read your...

I had this EXACT same problem yesterday but I got it to work. The files and directories in your my documents/my games/civilization4 directory will NOT be there until the first time you run the game properly (it works and everything). After that it will be there. My problem was that the...

Done all that, reinstalled fresh several times and each time there is no new directories made in my documents. I DO have admin access so thats not the problem I think and this CD has installed perfectly fine before. After I patched to 1.52 from my previous 1.09 (when it worked), it would not...

:( I'm not sure what the problem is so please give me a listen. Reinstalled several times, clean wipe of the directories(including in mydocuments/mygames). Tried: nonpatch, patched 1.09, patched 1.52 all the same problem: Civilization 4 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We...

It's fixed now but I have no idea why.. I actually lost some gold during the next few turns but I also ended a war with another civ. Few turns after I ended war I could upgrade everything just fine... I thought it might have been no upgrading during war but subsequent wars I could upgrade just...

Yah every city has barrack (sun tzu). I have more than enough gold. Should take like 1000g and i have >2000... i hope im not stuck with bunch of useless horseman!

Hey all, Im playing Chinese in a game and I have about 20horseman ready to upgrade to rider. The problem is that there is no upgrade button. This is the same for both warriors->MI and spearman->Pikeman. I have never experienced this before... is there a tech that I need to research to...

Quick question How do you get the search working? DO you have to register for special status or something like that?

No, I have no mods or anything.. I just recently installed it again and just installed the newest patch... I'm reluctant to reinstall =(

My civ3, patch 1.29 crashes during my second gold age.. tried reloading and reloading and even saved the turn before age and reloaded from there.. nothing seems to work.. dont want to reinstall it but willing to do that =( i would search this forum but my search is all messed up and i dont...

Hey How do you improve your palace? what are the requirements for you to do so? thanks!

Thanks guys! I'm not playing on very difficult level, only the 2nd easiest. I have raiders (playing as chinese) and I try to take out one of the civs now, but as soon as I try, the other civs comes after me too and I have to make peace after like killing only one or two cities...

Hey guys I have a question about the starting of the game. If I'm on a continent with like 1 or 2 other civs and I meet them VERY early, as in 4-5 cities in, should I try to just kill them off so I can have the continent to myself or should I try to like build in strange places and be...

Hey guys.. I have had civ3 for long time but only played as chieftan. I want to increase to higher levels... what do I need to learn to do better? thanks
