Please link me if there's a good thread I can peruse, if/where this conversation has already been had. I give America a pass for being in Civ on the grounds that it's had enough of a major impact on the world to justify it's inclusion, despite it's very late appearance in history. Seeing...

When Civ 5 comes out, you could effectively recreate HoMM battlefield tactics directly onto the hexagonal world map itself. With some care you may be able to deliver both parts of HoMM gameplay, rolled together into one for a reproduction of Heroes that is highly original yet exceptionally...

I sort of figure, since this game is inherently fantasy, a single Native American civ would fit the bill nicely. After all, we have the United States beginning in the stone age, which to me seems at least several notches HIGHER on the outrageously bogus meter. BTW: I only mentioned Greece to...

Ouch, you're right. I was going to say you were being a tad abrasive, but wow---I was totally in my own world right there. Nevermind. The Greeks would have been the example I was looking for. If the Greeks had never been united, it would still be wrong not to include them. Can you imagine...

If you wanted to represent the Native Americans on a level that posited them as a global contender would you pick a short lived confederation that never grew any larger than the area of New York State? No. They should just do what they did in Civ4: represent the entirety of Native America...

I'm trying to load a mod with Civ4 which I downloaded from Gamestop: you know the problem. You posted some advice on how to get around the issue, but I can't at all comprehend what you're saying. Sure, I can run Civilization4.exe, no problem... but where in the folder am I supposed to find...

I'm playing a downloaded version of Civ 4 with BTS on Windows 7. Every time I try to load a mod, the game crashes and I'm left with a message that says "You cannot run two instances of this application at the same time." How do I fix this?
