    Slowdown: It's the workers (with link to ugly fix)

    Hum, this makes a lot of sense. I was just playing a game even on a small map and near end game I ended up with a hoard of workers and the game slowed down to a crippling halt with only two civs left on the map. Seemed the larger I expanded, and the more workers I had, the slower the game went.

    Congrats, Kael!

    Ah was wondering if there was a thread for this. Congrats Kael. This news prompted me to check out Elemental.

    Elemental War of Magic

    Kael being brought on sells the game for me. I loved Fall From Heaven and cannot wait to see how he does with this beast. Hope the game can be salvaged and turned around. And if you read this, grats Kael on hooking up with Stardock.

    At the current state (1.0.0.20) out of 10 pts Civ5 gets....

    Already now forming a normal distro with a skew towards liking the game. I rated it 7, since I see it as a great foundation. With expansions the problems now can be smoothed over and with mods the game can be fine tuned. As with Civ 4 I assume this game will get better with age as people...

    Disorganized Unit Status - Solution to the stack issue

    People have been complaining about lack of transport and how it is hard to organize an army to prepare for an assault with the one unit per tile limitation. While playing I know often I wished I could move an army out together then deploy from a tile set as a staging area. Thinking back to how...

    Age Poll: Fans vs Critics

    30, started with Civ 2. Game has a ways to go before it reaches it's full potential but loving it so far. Greatly pleased with no more stacks of doom. I hated that style of play. Also like that you no longer have to sprawl as much. The expand to every corner of the Earth tactic I was never...

    Constantly Crashing

    Constantly crashing when entering tech three, strategic mode, getting advisor popups or leader popups. Happens at random but seems always right after when one of these occur. Frequency is around 20 turns. Sometimes more, sometimes less. Here are the last three error reports. Source Sid...

    Small bug-fix released!

    I am crashing all the time on screen swaps. Hit strategic mode, crash. Open tech tree, crash. Advisor wants to talk, crash. Leader wishes to talk to me, crash. It is random if I will crash or not when these things occur, but if I go 15 minutes without a crash I am lucky.

    "Shadow" schedule

    I can't remember the last game I was this excited for. Which is weird since this is a mod. Go shadow posting go.

    Is there any new away around the copy block problems for this game?

    Was the no disk patch an official one for Warlords? I been meaning to get that anyway. Maybe when I get bored of the Fall From Heaven mods.

    Game runs very slow on decent system - where to find optimization tips?

    Be careful editing bios. It ends in tears more often than not. I remember when the game first came out some setting in game were eating away at animation. Given this is a strat game if you have not done so tone down the graphics all the way to see if that helps. Then one by one enable...

    Is there any new away around the copy block problems for this game?

    I just got a computer like two weeks backs, and a friend mentioned the Fall from Heaven mod for Civ 4, so all excited I went to put the game in and got the dreaded insert disc errors. Saw suggestions to use the install instead of play disc when I patched, but still, I got the loading screen and...
