Thanks very much - yep, that's what I had been looking for. Also, read the manual... Now dialing the difficulty WAAAY back, and going off to explore. Wish me luck! :crazyeye:

OK, thanks much!

One last thing - last time, I remember giving up and going back to LoR because I kinda just dove in head first, and never really knew what I was doing - so I quickly got overwhelmed. I know after installation I got offered a link to a tutorial/guide on what's different in RI, but real life...

OK, thank you. I'm guessing removing the old version by deleting the folder would probably be the cleanest way, or is that necessary?

Hoping someone has some insight - I've been playing mostly LoR for many, many years, but a long time ago I had downloaded RI, and never got into it. I'd like to try it again, but I strongly suspect the version I have of RI is no longer current. Can I just redownload the newest version, or is...

This may be too late in the thread, as there are some pretty strong emotions, but here are my thoughts... I like Civ games - there are (and at this point, appear likely to always be) my all time favorite computer games. I can't give a stronger statement than that to let you know where I was...

Well, crap. Just saw today, for the first time, the announcement of beyond earth. Here's a commentary as I looked for info: "Please don't be 1upt... Please don't be 1upt... Please don't be 1upt.... ....crap." I know the argument about the popularity of CV mentioned earlier is a...

Well, looks like Ambidexter is our resident navy guy - I'll be our resident Air Force guy (instructor pilot). I'll finish up 20 years in the USAF next April - then I guess it'll be time to decide what I want to be when I grow up... :) I'm a little surprised, based on the strategic depth of...

Hi guys, This is going to be long. I'll warn you in advance, so if you're not in the mood for epic-length posts, you know what's ahead! I've been a Civ player, pretty much continually, ever since my first exposure to Civ back in with the original Civ in the early 90's. I currently play...

Ah! All this time, I never knew that.... guess I could have built my city after all, and saved myself the trouble!

I really do understand the computer has advantages - better economy, some free units, etc, etc - but I always believed that aside from these bonuses, it still basically played by the rules. Then I saw this today.... I was actually getting ready start a war to try and raze Dijon - I...

I think I'm procrastination/snarky. (-15% research/production, random -3 to +3 to relations)

I used to play exclusively marathon, but read somewhere that it gives the player an edge as you have more time to recover from mistakes, etc. Switched to normal for a while, but to be honest, thinking about going back to marathon, or at least epic for a few. Just feels more involved somehow on...

My default game anymore is Legends of Revolutions, except to be honest I turn the revolutions off - I love the new units and the graphics (bug/bat stuff) but the revolutions aspect itself always frustrated me... :) I still play FFH2 occasionally, too - but that one seems very dependent on...

Yeah, I think their sales results were skewed from guys like me - a long time civ player, so I bought Civ V right away. played it enough to give it a chance, then promptly uninstalled and went back to civ IV. But, from their point of view - I bought the game, therefore they got a sale. now...
