Ok cool, thank you for explaining. Do you know if there's a setting somewhere I could use to either disable the starting Warrior for AI players or add one for human players?

Is this a bug or a feature? I'm using the standard installation (Vox Populi (5-20-3).exe, with all 6 mods enabled), and even on Settler difficulty I start with only a Settler and a Pathfinder. The AI players start with a Settler, Pathfinder, AND Warrior. I see all sorts of recent threads here...

Thank you so much for your work, Lemon! Oustanding modpack. I don't know if this is the right place for requests, but I'd love to have an option to generate autosaves at the end of each turn rather than the beginning. I'm always forgetting one little errand at the end of a long meticulous...

Backslash key (\) is unresponsive in vanilla unmodded BTS 3.19, running on Win7 through Parallels Desktop 9 on a Macbook Pro. The backslash key works fine in other applications, and I can mod Civ4ControlInfos.xml to map CONTROL_LASTUNIT to the minus key KB_MINUS, which works. But the default...

Hi there---I just came back from a hiatus after getting all nostalgic for CivIV upon reading too many CivV reviews :mischief:. Anyway, forgive my ignorance of how you handle all these requests, but I came back to check on my request from back in March '08 to add an option to autosave at the end...

First I want to corroborate that I have always had the glitch during the install where the "Next" button is disabled when trying to install Better BUG AI anywhere other than the MODS folder under Program Files, ever since the first release. I am Administrator on a WinXP machine. But as...

Most of the AI's have hidden negative diplomatic modifiers toward human players. One way to get in on more of the trading is to send spies to sabotage two of the improvements on top of the resource you want. As soon as the AI replaces the second improvement, look for the trade.

I know I'm keeping the thread off-topic here, but FYI, I wrote a strategy article on how to decide whether or not to take Leadership: The Leadership promotion, with a Super Medic example (BTS) Here are the conclusions: If you're only interested in 1 or 2 more promotions, then don't bother...

There is no Religious Victory in standard BTS. I think either (1) you're referring to a Diplomatic Victory via the AP, which is often casually called a "religious victory", in which case many of your answers are already here in this thread, and you can search the forums for Diplomatic Victory...

The answer depends on which mod you're using. Vanilla Civ4 doesn't have Religious Victory. Maybe you can try asking in the forum for your mod? EDIT: Oh, perhaps you're talking about Diplomatic Victory via the AP. In that case, ParadigmShifter covered it above, except for the requirement...

Do you enjoy the infantry stage and beyond? If so, I think you just hit the jackpot with a personalized Late Start option.

I've also noticed that the AI tends to suicide their navies by sending them into soon-to-be-conquered cities, but I've never witnessed this even higher level of stupidity before. Maybe the delay in unloading has something to do with the weird ordering of AI actions---for example, the AI can...

Here are a few tidbits I find crucial for big wars like that: Early in the game, choose a city site with the best possible production + food (ideally lots of river tiles, hills, and food resources). Build Heroic Epic and eventually West Point there, and settle all the Great Generals there...

In BAT 2.2, I get 198 similar errors in PythonErr.log upon accessing the Custom Game screen. They are all of the nature ERR: Call function getModPath failed. Can't find module Full_of_Resources_3_10.pyor ERR: Call function isAdvancedMap failed. Can't find module Full_of_Resources_3_10 I don't...

Oops, it appears that I messed up in my own step 2 and deleted the Python folder in the BAT Mod 2.2 I meant to stay as BAT, and not in the one I overwrote with Better BUG AI. Sorry for the false alarm! I appreciate your modesty in saying you're stumped instead of I'm careless, lol. I'm still...
