There might be, but I didn't know what it was, so I just reinstalled using the 1.09 patch. I reckon I should have mentioned that before, but couldn't imagine why it would make a difference, but yeah, NNN, my ability to play without crash coincided with my switching to 1.09 from 1.52.

Kemeki: It was suggested to me that my computer was overheating, and that getting it off my lap would help with air circulation. I was able to play Civ4 yesterday for several hours without a shutdown by putting my laptop on a table so the fan and vent didn't get blocked. That seemed to make a...

I'm using the original video card that came with the computer. Oddly enough, when I tried to upgrade the driver (from nVidia), I was told it couldn't find any compatible hardware. So I went back to the original 7.1.1.0 driver.

I'm using the AC connection cord that came with the computer. Is there any reason why that should be inadequate for running the game?

Here's the deal: Installation was fine, patched (1.52) without a problem, game starts, runs for a while (anywhere from a dozen to couple hundred turns). Then the computer shuts down, and I have to reboot. No warning, no other indications of problems, no error messages, nothing. Doesn't return to...

Period. No warning, no error messages, no notice from Civ4, nothing. Anyone else had this problem and...

Thanks for the help!

Mac version 1.29b2.

Three of the cities in question are capitols. In one instance, it's the only city the civ has left.

Thanks for the help.

Ah, that may be it. I haven't been messing with the editor, but I am playing a scenario off this site. Is it possible to change parameters in the middle of a game?

That's what I've done with Marines, just as you describe. Could there be some reason why it won't allow Marines to disembark and attack?

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but every way I've tried to conquer a single-tile island-based city has failed. Paratroopers always fail, and when I try Marines I'm told that only ground-based units can attack settlements. What am I missing?
