I was searching the forums and am going to use a work around another person suggested. I was under the impression that if you couldn't load saved games you also couldn't load auto-saves. I just loaded up my last auto-save (10 turns ago) and played again. Going forward I'm going to turn my auto...

Thanks for your suggestions. Unfortunately for me none of them solved the problem. I'll just keep searching the forums and try to find a fix.

Hello, I am getting this screenshot (attached) when I try to load my game. I read in one of the threads you should try launching the game in DirectX or DivX? Can someone please tell me how this is done? Thanks, Jed

Dub, Thanks for the information. My thoughts were to use the GS for an observatory around T10 early in the game and you would get more long term benefit...I'm not a math person by any means though so I don't delve into the mathematics of it. Actually in my game the AI ended up beating me to...

Thanks for the quick response, I wasn't aware of that. I guess I figured the game would automatically do that.

My first question relates to starting an observatory with my GS I received from Writing (playing as Babylon). I chose an observatory and thought my science in the upper left and my city would change from plus 5 to plus 10...but it's not changing. Am I getting the addt'l science? Secondly, I'm...

There are, but if I understand I have to connect to them by roads? I'm way too far away for that.

Would someone look at my game file and give me advice on what to do here? I want to start an army and acquire a number of puppets from Khan right next to me, however I wasn't lucky enough to get any iron. There is a tile with 6 iron to the south of me...however I am really hesistant to found...

That was helpful, thank you! I do have the NC in my city...I am still puzzled why you're getting so much from your city states. If I have 1/3rd the c/s you do, shouldn't I be getting 8 science? Instead of 1.something? I think we had the same policies so that shouldn't change it. I tried to...

Max, thank you so much for the time you put into that post! I've been struggling to get a timely Cultural victory, even though I visit these forums daily. Hopefully this will help. I had a couple quick questions. 1. How did you get Stonehenge done by 31? Did you build a mine to speed up...

I had a question on the build order. It seems to me in order to reach Astronomy quickly (turn 95ish on normal speed) you would need to bypass some of the things above (warr, stonehenge) and build the library and NC first. Am I missing something, or is this start still good, but just won't get...

For a speedy cultural win what turn should you have the Cristo? No matter how I slice things I always end up with around turn 310...by this time it feels way too late in the game to matter. I don't get broadcast towers up until this point either, which pretty much defeats their purpose. I...

I reached Astronomy on turn 95 last night, and could have gotten in at 91 or 92 but I feel asleep at the switch and forgot to sign a 3rd research agreement. Here were some things I noticed from my attempt post-patch: -Early research agreements were costing me 300 gold, the greedy AI was...

I miss the old days of hitting Acoustics around turn 75 :lol: I guess I don't feel that bad if I'm only 20 turns behind some of the top players, but I'd still like to know how they are doing it so fast! Maybe Babylon would speed it up too?

Sounds good, that question is answered...anyone have feedback on the Acoustics issue? I need to get there faster so I'm not wasting policies (now that we can't save them).
