I too am running Vista and am getting the same error. Unfortunately I don't think it will ever work for Vista. First and foremost, Windows Vista is not officially supported, only Windows 7 and newer. I did some searching for this K32GetModuleInformation and found this...

Now that the game is out, does anybody know what happens to the overflow? I've been playing the game and it looks to me like you lose your production overflow. I'm having a real hard time with the user interface, so I'm not sure, but I think you lose your science overflow as well. Can...

The new tech in between Astronomy and Banking should be Acoustics. (Readable in the hi def version of the E3 trailer)

Here's some things to think about for those Spearmen contemplating an attack on modern armor 1. Tanks are intimidating. Even allied infantry troops working with tanks don't want to stand too close to them. You get this distinct feeling that you're going to get run over. Tankers have a...

Just to throw out ideas for anybody that has learned about random variables: From the descriptions I've read, this isn't a change to the combat system. It's really a change to the random variable used. (Just to be clear I am NOT talking about the random number generator) The current...

Another question for you. Was wondering if you know for sure whether or not marines get a times 2 attack rating for amphibious assaults? It's in the conquests comprehensive features list thread, but I just wanted to know if you observed this or not. Thanks. Fin.

Small maps. Still looking for a good real earth 80x80 or 60x60 map.... Fin.

You mentioned that anti-air combat calculations would be added in the future. Could you give a brief rundown on how anti-air combat is decided? I can't seem to figure out any kind of relation between the anti-air rating and the chance that the air unit will get shot down, except that higher...

Does anybody know how the new air defense units work? I was experimenting with things, and it looks like flak or SAM's, all they can do is prevent you from making a bombing run. But they can't actually damage an air unit. Fin.

I've seen the ubiquitous Marla Singer's World map, and of course Civ3 came with a standard and huge world map, but has anybody created a small or tiny world map? I remember Civ 2 came with every size of world map, I wonder why civ3 didn't ship the same way... Anyways, it seems like people...

Haha, actually I was trying to put this question in the frequently asked questions thread, but messed up somehow. Thanks. Fin.

I remember having a similar problem when using debug in PTW, you had to specify the nationality. If you don't do that, then you won't be able to place a unit. After the first time you set nationality, you don't have to keep setting it for additional units. Fin.

I was looking in the editor and saw that some units, like Archer and Longbowman, have bombard strength 1 or 2, bombard rate of fire 1, but bombard range 0. Does anybody know what this does? Since range is 0 they can't bombard the square next to them. Also, I haven't taken the time to...

I certainly agree with the psychology aspect. But I see this as being well represented by the hit points, and should not affect their ADM ratings. In your example, the fact that you have 2 hit points for conscripts(chinese), 4 for veterans or 5 for elite (the japanese), takes into account the...

Reading the responses to my original message, I've become less zealous about what I first wrote. My only problem with MG battalions was that I didn't think there actually were any, but apparently there were, so that's fine. I agree combat engineers are absolutely wonderful as sappers, for...
