    Why can only"fast" units retreat?

    While it would be nice to see my swordman live to fight another day in an advanced age, I do oppose the introduction of more dependence on the RNG. The odds of retreating, the chance of surviving all go against the idea of a strategy game, where strategies are based on estimated guesses. Those...

    Stuck in a loop! Goto Movement Problem

    Don't use automove where terrain is not all visible and you may run into obstacles before seeing them.

    GA Use

    You 're welcome. Like WillJ's example shows, you are not restricted to words either. For example [color=123456] and [color=789abc] will be recognized as hexadecimal code, which opens the way for 16777216 different colours. Only RGB code is not well supported. I made a mistake in my earlier...

    Governor question

    The ONLY use I have for governors is in a city with resistors. Ususally once they are subdued they become unhappy so "The resistance in X has ended" is immediately followed by "Civil Disorder in X" unless you have a governor on the job. For any other place, do take Gengis Khan's warning to...

    GA Use

    Proud to play on RegentMan, thank you for your additional thoughts on the subject. You are not restricted to the colours that the list suggests, although they are usually the best for the various backgrounds. Try or or any other of the 216 'websafe colour' words that HTML understands: from...

    Civilopedia in Dutch

    :confused: ... :lol::lol::lol: No time for demogames I 'm afraid, but I can recommend this link. I would like to change to change Frisian's suggestion of "gracious - aardig" to dankbaar. Any objections? And for those who really feel the orange vibes now, another screenshot, with a few...

    Diplomatic Victory--A Question

    No, the vote is between the UN builder and the biggest other civ. If that 's two AI's than the vote will be between two AI's. (I conclude that you are always among the biggest in your games. :D) The strategists on this site suggest abstaining if you are not on the ballot, as this will increase...

    Civilopedia in Dutch

    Rik, quick request: may I ask you, for future posts, to delete the lines that you do not change. That makes it so much easier for others to find the new stuff. And congratulations with your election as the first Governor of the Western Province (the link in your sig)! Rellen! another word that...

    Ideas for Civilization 4

    Thanks David, I 've been wanting to come back to defend my earlier statement about this, but a professional does it much better of course. :goodjob: Must be a an interesting job you 're doing.

    age of the world

    You would expect there are also fewer lakes as erosion builds up and mountains crumble into the sea?

    Question about breaking deals

    I can confirm this, the system does all it can to make the deal go on. I don't know what happens when you have no buildings and unts left though.;) That was quite expensive Steam Power, Raidne. Are you sure you got the best deal you could?

    Civilopedia in Dutch

    Thanks Jurimax, I cannot encourage your help enough, but would like to point out the danger that you 're doing double work if you don't read previous posts. The krijger, karabinier, torpedojager, slagschip, kruiser and waterkrachtcentrale have all already been incorporated. Literally even, so I...

    Civ3 saves in PTW

    I don't have PTW so am not supposed to know but I believe Civ3 still exists on your computer. PTW is just another program.

    "Server too busy"

    No. :goodjob: Pages load *very* quickly once again, only processing new posts seem to take some time now sometimes.

    GA Use

    Make sure all the tiles are producing shields and commerce, otherwise the GA might go by unnoticed... This means roading tiles which are not on a river, it may even mean mining the grasslands that have been irrigated. I am not particularly happy with settlers running around during the GA...
