anyone out there know how to extend the number of turns? It always seems that I am running out of turns before I am done enjoying the game and I have to go on an all out rush to finish my plans. I guess I am just used to playing Civ3 and a game taking 2-3 weeks of every night to play to the...

Go Into your Direct X Diagnostic program and disable the sound accelerator. It helped me run the game all the way to finish with only a few crashes if I complete a wonder. If I avoid them and don't play large/huge maps I have only a few graphics bugs. Hope this helps

have you tried disabling the direct X sound options? It helped me with the same problem. (you should be able to find "dxdiag" in the "program files/directx/" folder. At least that's where it is on my system running Win2000Pro) Hope this helps.

minor bug I've run into... scouts do not get the double movement bonus in forests or jungles with the woodsman II promotion... My wariors do but not scouts :sad:

First off I want to say thnkyou for whomever started this thread. I've been reading myself blind trying to find out what things are bugs and what are system related problems. I have been able to play CIV IV from the beginning... I have had many problems with the Wonder movies locking up and...

yeah.... I wish... :cry:

I have a q for anyopne out there that would know.... Does any know if there is a way to keep my research on a tech from resetting when my GL gives me the last required tech of an age and advances me to the next age? I just spent some 20+ turns researching Republic and 3 turns b4 I had it I got...

I've been playing C3c For some time now and I keep reading on this forum that the game does not cheat.... whelll I don't believe this at all anymore.... I've seen a lot of things that make me wonder how the AI is doing what it is soing but the game I am playing now has finally put the last...

Are you refering to Military Alliances? I didin't think that MAs were 20 turn deals. Are they? I made some MAs with some AIs when Spain finally decided to declare war on me after sending their troops into my territory turn after turn after turn after turn....etc... I kept telling them to get...

actually.... I was not trading with spain at the time of the war and I didn't start the war.... this is what has me so perplexed.... I've never had the AIs get mad at me for dragging them into a war and after spain kept sending its troops into my teritory and then declared war I dogpiled...

ok.... I'm perplexed again.... I just ended a war with Spain that started about 10 game turns ago and now everyone will not deal with me for lux or resources in trade.... I didn't break any deals when I went to war and I actually didn't gain as much territory as the other AIs on my continent but...

my last game was a huge/emperor with 9 (or ten I can't remember) and it took me 84 hours and some.... Lots of fun! :evil:

So if I have the industrious trait it is good to settle on a bonus grass rather than not then.... I usually don't because you don't get the bonus shield added to production and can never use it.... that really stinks!... Every city gets the road bonus so every city gets the comercial bonus...

why is it that only some of my cities that have 7+ population are getting the bonus shields for being industrious? Is this based on what land they are founded on or what? Thanks

quick Q... The bonus that the AI gets when you get to Emperor-Diety level difficulty... how does this compare to the religious/scientific traits? I mean they get the 20% less cost on production does this include improvements to? What I am really asking is would a religious/scientific civ...
