Fixed it by finding this thread. Was a DX issue. http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=281347

I built a new rig but after installing and patching to civ 4 to bts 3.19 I'm notified upon game startup that my comp's graphics are insufficient. I'm guessing this is either a compatibility issue with the graphics card or the 64 bit OS. Windows Vista 64 Bit Ultimate AMD X6 T1055 4GB Ram...

Cereal Mills has been quite powerful for me in numerous games. It comes a few turns later but in many games I find my domestic resources generate equal food with either corp. This is because each resource is worth more :food: under cereal than under sushi. On huge size maps, it takes 3 cereal...

In my last game I founded 2 corps, and in both cases, it took the AI (all of them) 5-10 turns before they would trade me excess corp resources. They replied "surely, you must be joking" when I moused over Iron after founding mining inc. After 5 or 10 turns, suddenly they were willing to trade...

Great info - thanks!:goodjob:

What about AI's the start with Mysticism and the choice of Mediation/Polytheism? Do they ever go for Polytheism as their first tech?

Great game and writeup! :goodjob:

Great writeup. :goodjob:

How would you handle a capital like this in the long run? Lotta food/farmland for specialists but the gems sway me toward cottaging the hell out of it for a nice bureaucracy capital while running just a couple specialists with the excess food.

That sounds awesome. + 1 vote for Rhye's

well played and nice write-up!

Good job on the last game - looking forward to this one. I'd settle on the sugar personally. It'll give the eventual coastal city that uses the cows/rice a little more room and allows for a Levy in the capital.

Understood - but that point withstanding, does the fact that Huge maps become easier at Medicine makeup for the fact that they are tougher in other ways from 4000BC to Medicine? Racing for wonders, late religions, lib, and founding 8 cities minimum to build national wonders are aspects of...

I don't know if the scaling is perfect, but larger maps reduce the value of each resource's contribution towards the corporate effect to compensate for this. 5 seafood on a huge map is worth less than 5 seafood on smaller maps.

If you want more AI, add more players via playing a larger map. That way the AI have a larger world to settle. Difficulty should go up a bit on large and huge maps. Any kind of race will be a bit harder with more AI's. (religions, wonders, lib).
