yes, it'll do 15%*75%=11.25% damage.

I actually tend to think of this as a bit of a bug...it's 4000 BC, no-one knows you can go out on the water yet...and somehow, this little tribal village knows that the water extends for 250 miles offshore. I think maps should only be land maps or anywhere you could see with a work boat (at...

So i my game last night, Mehmed shows up (I'm running Warlords, but I think this was a problem in vanilla too). After the initial "There will be peace in our time" thing, I see that he's unwilling to trade anything with me. Mousing over them indicates "We will never trade with you, our worst...

The problem is that each of those companies makes a LOT of video cards. I have an nVidia 6200, which generally works OK, but stutters on some of the movies. I suspect upgrading to a better card would help, even if it was still an nVidia.

I'm pretty sure it works this way. I was at war with Japan, with Germany as an ally. I refused their capitulation, so they capitulated to Bismark, at which point I was suddenly at peace with them. Mayne for standard vassalage, though; i.e., being a vassal of an uninterested party.

Hmm...you make me think of a possibilitiy here. While I liked the tech grabbing, I was kinda glad when they got rid of it in Civ3, since it was a little unbalancing. But I have a possible solution. Maybe moddable, if not, maybe we can get it in Civ5.... When you capture a city, there's a...

By "downloaded", people are talking about the version of the game where you pay them and immediately download it, rather than have a physical CD to install from.

That sounds like what happens to me when my firewall pops up a dialog asking if I should give permission. If you have a firewall, in the places where your cursor is an arrow, you're over the box. If you know it well, you can probably click the "allow" button (or maybe just hit 'a', which I know...

Do you have the Direct2Drive version? I know that requires a special version of the patch, which tends to take a little longer to come out than the regular. I think you may also have to check for updates from within the game.

Sometimes it matters, sometimes it doesn't. From a software dev perspective, the advantage of "setting=value" is that a single string read gets the whole thing (usually), because there are no spaces. But it's really not hard to make it understand setting=value, setting = value, setting =value...

Sounds like you have the Direct2Drive version. The patches tend to come out a little later for that; it'll show up eventually, though. Sorry you have to wait... :sad:

Probably not, if it says it only runs on 2K/XP. Those use a fundamentally differently environment than Windows 95/98/ME. Sorry...Maybe someone's gotten it to work, though.

No, but he'll be very experienced at taking orders, different styles of defense that may come against him, knowing when to retreat/regroup, etc. I think knocking a unit from 65 to 10 is pretty stupid personally. I agree that it should take a hit (or there would be a major issue with...

And because two posts in a row isn't enough, here's a third... I've had a case about the movies open with Take2 for...3 months now, I think. I called them again, and gave them an update with the fact that resolution is definitely connected, and the fact that it dropped by a third after the...

Hmmm...although I think you're on to <u>SOMETHING</u>. If I drop my screen resolution to 1024, and tell the driver not to scale it up (i.e., to just display it in the middle of my flat panel), then it works a little better. FRAPS tells me I'm getting 30 FPS on the first movie (no matter which...
