Hi guys, I'm going to retire from the team, if that's ok. I have a busy month or two coming up, and I've gotten hopelessly behind in my monitoring. Good luck to you all, and thanks for welcoming me to the team.

I'm still with you guys, reading along, and enjoying the discussion. My inclination would be to grab the worker. Slowing down the AI's city spamming rate should take precedence over other concerns, IMO. I'd probably vote for the worker steal even if we were assured of circum in the...

I'd cleared all the forests around St Pete, and I'd chopped the silk forest around moscow to build the plantation. St. Pete was a handful of turns away from National Epic. It may be interesting to note that I got circum on turn 49 by building a single caravel and not trading for or purchasing...

1655 for me, with capital on desert hill and second city on coastal elephants, but i'm sure I'm not pushing the envelope there.

Not sure if this has been pointed out yet, so I thought I'd make sure. In the test save (Test2, right?), founding the second city on the coastal elephants picks up another set of clams. That could be pretty important for Rexing and for the GP farm, but I don't think we can know whether those...

You can get rid of the nagging reminder by unchecking the "Options Shortcut Reminder" under the "System" tab in the options menu (which you open with ctrl-alt-o). I'd also vote for unchecking "Enabled" under the "Unit Naming" tab. The default names are unwieldy. Other customizations are...

I've been thinking about the task before us. To me it seems like a lost cause to try to pull off a conquest victory at emperor difficulty without taking a city that hasn't been nuked first. Monarch is enough of a challenge for me. I probably only eke out a win 15% of the time or so. And I'd...

Thanks for the help. That wasn't working for me, though. I did a lot of reinstalling this morning (Civ IV and its patch, BTS and its patch, Buffy), and now things work. I guess there was still some old mod file hiding somewhere and screwing things up.

Has anybody succeeded in getting dot mapping in buffy to work? I can get to the dot map screen with alt-x, and I can click to select colors for cities and their BFC's, but I can't get the shaded BFC's to "stick" to the map. What's the command to set a city site? And do we have an XTEAM...

1. Yes, I've updated to 3.19 of BTS. 2. Deleting lots of files, maybe HOF, maybe BUG, from the BTS directory and from some directory under my documents fixed the problem. Maybe buffy was picking up some old bug file. Anyway, it works now. Thanks for the help.

Ok. I deleted HOF 3.17 and BUFFY 3.19 and re-installed BUFFY 3.19. That didn't help. Then I did the same thing again, but I also deleted all the bug/buffy/hof files (new, old, and ancient?) from some directory under "My Documents" as well as from the normal BTS MODS folder. And now I can...

There is no minimap. That's gone, too.

Hmm...no combination of alt-tab, alt-I, or ctrl-I gets the user interface to appear for me in the buffy mod. Has anyone else had any success with that? What's the secret? Also, should I be concerned that the mod has a few errors parsing some lines in some init.xml file when it loads?

Ok, I've been persuaded to sign up again. Count me in.
