Personally, I'm not worried about the timeline. I just don't understand why it would take so many units + siege units just to route out a few troops in a city without walls. I understand they have defense bonuses but it seems to me they are a bit unbalanced to the bonuses that attackers receive...

Ummm.... don't tell me what to do. Either be constructive or don't come to this forum... ok? I am trying to understand what I might be doing wrong. Is it wrong to post a frustration in regards to gameplay in (omg) a gameplay forum??? Maybe my strategies aren't correct and appreciate any...

They weren't greenhorns... most of them had 3 promotion levels with strength upgrades. The town may have been on a hill but I also had completely razed the country... they had no production and yet were able to hold off my troops for 50+ game time years... if not longer. Wouldn't they run out of...

Ok, I can appreciate this point of view but I was a bit frustrated last night. I had a stack of about 7 horse archers and 7 longbowmen trying to take a city defended by 4 archers with defense bonuses. I could not kill one of the enemies units until I got catapults. It seemed a bit to over the...

Probably explains why Take2 couldn't beat EA for NFL rights. I'm glad Civ4 was released but it has effected Oblivion's release date from Nov to Q2 of next year :(

Yah, it's an Nvidia driver issue. Happens to me on my 6800gt. All I do is alt+tab to the desktop and then back into the game and it clears the problem for a little bit. It's no big deal to me until they come out with a patch since I don't go to the globe view too often. I'd rather wait then roll...

I stand corrected ... It was a New Zealand company.... Weta Digital. I still understand what the original poster of the comment was getting at :P

:( Here I was looking forward to the Monica Lewinsky upgrade for +10 happiness too. :mischief:

The novels were not. But he was referencing the movie which was developed with American technology to adapt the novels to the big screen with all the fancy special effects. ;)

10 for me. Looking forward to many hours of fun :)

There is a specific dx dll that needs to be installed from the DirectX version on the install disc. I'm surprised you guys got the game to run without it. Initially I couldn't run the game because of the dx dll error but it ran fine after installing the DirectX from the install disc. Also...

Head over to Slashdot and post a question for thier upcoming community interview: http://developers.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/09/28/1522210&tid=156 You need to scroll down the page a bit to find the discussion threads ;)

pretty close so far

Gamespot reviewer stated the advancement pace for Civ4 was faster than previous versions. From what I've played so far the pace seems to be in synch with the time line, growth of my civ and expansion of new territory. It seems to feel just about right even if other civs may have techs before or...

The game runs fine on my system. After a short while of playing the world map graphics become streaked lines with squares of images where resources and cities are located. When I zoom back in the graphics are still ok... it's just when I zoom out to the world view it is messed up. I can switch...
