I mentioned that I like to mod. Some people think this means modders are trying to fix the game. Not at all. I have made hundreds of changes, had fun with them in a single game. Changed them or some other things for the next game. Most changes have been reversed back to the original. But it...

That is no argument. Of course no game is completely realistic. The point is Civ IV is somewhat realistic in ways that I find interesting. In Civ V that is gone. I mentioned some examples where Civ IV fares much better than Civ V. Again my point is Civ IV does most of this better than Civ V...

Civ IV runs great on my 64bit win7, 4GB ram (laptop). For me Civ V lasted something like one or two months. Then I went back to Civ IV. IIRC I haven't touched Civ V since december 2010. I just follow the changes and the talk here. I like my civ game to be somewhat realistic, and Civ V is...

Maybe the required code is not in the dll. I don't think all the entries in the XML-files have corresponding code in the normal BtS-dll as some entries are only used in the mods. Best regards

I have modded the game, so religions can also be founded via special units found in goodyhuts. This means 5 to 7 religions are normally founded before any civ has more than 2 or 3 cities (early in the game). Therefore in my games there are also 5 to 7 "active" religions from start to at least...

:goodjob: :hatsoff: Thank you very much, Amra! That is absolutely perfect. I hereby bring you a bunch of hugs from my wife: :wavey: :worship: :thanx: :woohoo: Now my wife :queen: and I :king: can get civilized![party] :yeah: :cooool: Best regards :salute: Firebird and wife

Hi I am making a New Zealand civ for my wife, but I can't do the flag. Having no luck finding the flag of New Zealand in the forums, I would be very thankfull if someone with the right programs could do it for me, point me to it if it has been done or help me in any other way. Best...

I think that others have simply researched writing before you, when you were busy researching pottery, animal husbandry and priesthood. That makes the cost for writing drop when you research it. Best regards Firebird

Hi I hope you are allright, Vanadorn. I still check the thread regularly, as many others do. Great story, great writing! Take your time. We'll be here when you are ready. Best regards Firebird

Well you certainly need my comment. IMO strong believers in religion is the course (sp?) of many problems in the world. The list of religiously motivated violence and oppression is endless from dawn of civilisation to far into the future I'm afraid. The problem is that since most religions...

First: I like both games very much. They are both good turnbased strategy games with ample room for brainusage. In chess the number of posible moves are far lower, the battles always ends "attacker wins", fewer units and unittypes, no cities producing new units, no buildings, no...

I think it is great that you seem to have a working game. And some people might be in trouble because they have not updated drivers or the OS. But there are certanly some out there (my self included) where the problems are out of there hands. Unless they buy a new comp, but then they would never...

I love hearing about all your pets too. @Bard: LOL Great parrot. I can imagine that feeling of adrenalin rush through the body! "I'll get them!" Had a budgie (sp?) that was very excited when I played civ2. @Kan' Sharuminar: LOL Have you seen too many Bond-movies ;) @LadyTetsu: Oh...

I think getting the holy-city in a new, remote bordercity is fine, because it helps building up culture. And I like randomness. It's more interesting if you must react to many things comming from both the outside and inside, instead (sp?) of just decide everything youself. So is reallife too...

Well I get crashes (also with a black screen) and have to hard-reboot. My videocard is an Nvidia Geforce FX5700LE, so it would seem the game is being the faulty one, but it might be more complicated than that. Some with FX5700LE aparently don't get the BSOD after patching, so perhaps other...
