Holy crap. I swear I didn't use WorldBuilder. FIVE SEAFOOD RESOURCES, plus almost all other squares (spare one hill) are riverfront! Now, I'm pretty sure a good civ player could work wonders with this. However, I'm pretty much a novice at Civ 4. How should I best take advantage of this start...

Woo! It seems to be working now! Thanks!

I've been trying to get my Multiplayer gold edition working on my Vista comp, and it works fine for the most part, but for some strange reason it crashes straight to the desktop instantly whenever I attempt to build a city. :confused:

Wow, the Tsar tank looks ridiculously impractical, and the helicopter looks incapable of actual flight, but they're good ideas for the game and excellently made!

Wow, what a spirited debate this question has caused... Well, I've gotten quite a few opinions and I think they'll help me out a lot!

Those are some interesting thoughts.. I suppose successful strategies can vary from person to person and from game to game, as well as city to city. The main situation I'm tired of winding up in is with only 3 or 4 cities built by the A.D. era whilst the AI almost doubles that. I also noticed...

Many times when I start to play a game, I will tend to mismanage my build queue and as it goes on one or more aspects of my civ are well-developed, usually infrastructure, etc. while others I can't seem to find enough time to work on until it's woefully underdeveloped, usually military or...

Great, I've got it working!

Bump, I'd like to figure out how to play BTS soon, or at least figure out how to lower the settings while not in game.

No, 64 bit vista. EDIT: AGH! Now it's happening with Warlords! Although I do seem to have pinpointed the cause. When I increased the resolution to 1920x1080 (My monitor resolution), it worked then but on subsequent startups it wouldn't work.

I can't even get in game to reduce the settings, so I don't know. Yes, I've restarted.

I recently bought the Civ IV complete pack from Steam, and vanilla civ, warlords, and the new Colonization work fine, but BTS goes insane whenever you try to start it. For about 10 seconds the screen repeatedly flashes between a black screen and the desktop, then gives this error: Now, I KNOW...

Ah, thanks.

OK, this is kind of unrelated, but I've been reading some of the earlier ALCs (I'm on game 6 now) and was wondering: What's an also-ran?

I think it might have something to do with me using the Gametap version of Civ4. Is there any way to change where it looks for the trophy file?
