IIRC, Civilization I was available for the C64, but in reduced form. I can't find any mention of it on the Net, though. And as far as the space requirements go, most of the space is taken up by graphics which would be downgraded for lesser computers.. the game code itself is pretty simple and...

Build a matrix representing the odds of unit vs. unit (with their bonuses), and then searching for the biggest number? Hardly a complex algorithm.

In real life a company of infantrymen fortified inside a city can easily take on a bunch of tanks. There are such things as mines, anti-tank missiles and places to hide. Now, accompany the city assault with artillery and infantrymen... that's a different story.

"I have butchered my land to assist in production and to get the most from the tiles" You answered your own question.

I tried to find it as well, I like playing with few civilizations and it's really annoying that it resets itself back to the default number.

A very good idea indeed.

Just hope you don't lose that city ;)

How do the threads about the disappointment of some players prevent you from reading this forum?

To the starter of this thread: Why are you here complaining and reading threads from whiney people? Why aren't you out there playing Civilization IV? Because that's where we whiners would be if the game only worked well in our computers. And, at least in my case, computers with the quite...

I got it as well. But the good thing is that they'll know _exactly_ what's wrong, because for a programmer that info is invaluable.

I still get CTDs. But now they're different, it screwed up my desktop in a way that it hasn't done before. AMD64 3000+, 1 gig ram, x600, 5.11 catalysts..

I just got my first post-patch CTD. Doesn't look like it fixed whatever it is that crashes the game. (yes, I do have a gig of ram and two gigs of page file..)

It runs smoother for me, and so far I haven't encountered any CTDs that riddled the first version. Perhaps I can soon ease up on my paranoid habit of saving ever turn.. (AMD64 3000+, 1 gig ram, Radeon x600 256mb here..)

All the time. The crashes to the desktop seem to be quite random, wait for the patch and maybe it'll go away.

#4 is how I always play. In Civ2 meeting a fellow nation on my continent was always a let-down, I'd rather peacefully continue building my empire. As far as the others go, they look like fun.
