I definitely notice barbs and animals don't tend to approach you when they come out of the fog for about the first 10-12 turns (my guess) after they start spawning. They pop in and pop out as long as they are at least 2 tiles away. After that, they seem to pop in and approach you. I notice this...

Only at the very end. Once I get railroads, I first make sure all cities get connected. Then I put them on all mines and lumbermills. Then I automate them to "connect trade network" and finish the tedious part of laying them. Another thing I picked up from watching Sulla's YouTube series...

That's kind of a game unto itself, though. The # of cities reqs are waived and all that. I think he's wanting a "standard" game - one where you could build as many cities as you want, but choose not to. To the OP, I wonder... do you think you'd still have all victory conditions available...

I believe it's the maintenance cost of the city (decimals truncated).

I often use BUFFY which is a customized BUG interface for games of the month and hall of fame. There is more to it than what you describe, but I think I figured them all out now that I sat and stared at it for a while. Unless you are posting saves to let others shadow, I highly recommend...

I dunno, personally I can administer their cities better then they can to meet my particular needs.... so why would I give them back? Unless the conquests are super early, but I tend to be more of a medieval conqueror it seems. By that time, my econ is approaching full swing. Unless my...

Since I never become a vassal, I can't speak to that, but I do see the comment when I have vassalized others. I don't believe there is a max number of vassals, it's just that some civs won't ever really vassalize to you until they're basically wiped-out. If you vassal 6 you win a conquest on...

You can sort them by clicking on the respective column header. This is handy for things like deciding where to build Academies or production enhancements, etc... of course you can just pick the big numbers out of the table, but when you get 16+ cities, it gets a little cumbersome. Which leads...

Stupid is stupid. I manage to pull a couple yankers most games, though I've noticed I'm getting better. Most of them are thankfully due to mis-clicks for which I feel no shame in re-loading out of. :) Most of the time it's been accidentally razing a holy city or something - or getting carried...

I re-installed the whole series and it works now. :) Interestingly, the Asset Checker says I'm still missing the same 20 BtS files... I played this a little....wow. Think I'll be waiting until the next round to play for real. Never played Immortal before and this was probably not a great...

Yeah, I just did a fresh install before trying all of this. I thought because I had re-installed Windows (and carried Civ on my RAID 0 drive), that there was some issue with Civ not being in my current Windows registry (I mentioned this a few posts back). So I re-installed the whole works...

You can get the "great mediator" (only if you have events on?) One tip/time saver when putting peace on the table is to then ask them "what would make this deal work" before you accept. At times, I've been surprised at all the things they've piled on top... and I would assume this is typically...

I had BUFFY 3.19.001 installed instead of .003 I didn't uninstall .001, I just installed .003 over it. Maybe should have uninstalled .001 first? Other than that, no idea... I guess I'll poke around the help thread and see what I see.

My problem was that it would glitch-out and not load BUFFY. Anyway, I figured that problem out, now on to a new problem... :) It tells me "the save file you have selected is protected to ensure that the assets in your mod folder have not been changed" I ran the asset checker and it tells...

I'd really like to start playing these, but alas I can't get it to work right. I use Windows 7 64-bit and have taken all the steps I've been able to find to troubleshoot the issue. I keep getting the "game will not be valid for submission...." popup when in Buffy and trying to load the game...
