Got a new bug.. i keep got ctd when i tried to research mass media. I used the worldbuilder to add mass media and loaded the worldbuilder save and it ran for 1 turn before crashing again. The weird thing is that if i use AI autoplay, the game doesn't crash, but if i play manually, the game...

Have the same bug as NBAfan for 1.63. I am able to build national wonders such as ironworks,brewery in another city even though i already built it. National wonders such as central bank cannot be built even though i have 5 banks (it says i have zero) Here's the savegame

Hi Afforess, i'm running a standard map with vista 64 bit 4gb ram Intel duo core P7450 2.13Ghz with a 256MB nvidia graphics card. Civ4 keeps crashing to whever i hit enter after a while. Could you take a look at my savegame? It was crashing sporadically for the past 10-20 turns and now its...

play without advanced start. it's rigged towards the player. And obvious, mazati race and FF mod is probably unbalanced. 80 pop cities are ridiculous when 40pop are already very difficult to get in normal FFH2. Plus the comp usually suck at island map. Add this 3 together and you get a recipe...

Yashkaf, i would not recommend sacrificing cottage tech to early rush in the game. You might get a few cities, but you will be so hopelessly outteched by the AI you are probably NOT going to get anymore cities for a very long time. Plus you will be suffering extra maintence cost for the cities...

Yep advanced start is a bit of cheating. the AI does a very bad job at allocating it's money to build stuff on advanced start. Try using the autobuild function at the advanced start menu. It tends to waste all it's money to buy tech and workers but rarely improves tiles/buy buildings. It's not...

Another way is to use death mana. Summon a skeleton army. Unless you have adepts, they will usually be the weakest units in the stack. Save the trouble of buidling workers/hawks and best is you can resummon this fodder stack everyturn.

does tolerant trait work on unit upgrades, eg upgrading your normal elohim adepts to amurites mages in a captured amurite city.

Another interesting idea would be the bribe mercenary concept. Allows the player nearby to convert enemy mercs to their cause by paying 1.5x the original cost of the merc. After all, mercs hold no loyalties :)

i think beastmasters research cost need to be increased. For their research cost (1600 or 3200 i can't remember), you can get 14 str recon units. A similiar tech for a unit of a similiar str cost much more. Archmages cost 6000+ beakers, mith research to get phalanaxs cost even more.

You should play amurites. Best part about them is their hero govannon, who can teach raise skeleton to EVERY living unit(Including workers). You can easily have a 30-40 skeleton army with them, together with a bunch of liches because their adepts start with xp bonus.

stealing promotions like life 1 will not give your mimics ability to cast spells.

yeah courthouses should be made much stronger to give people at incentive to build at start. Usually when you research courthouse, the benefit (-40% maintence) is really worth the cost and time to build it. At most u save 1-2 gold per turn, you be much better off investing in a granary etc to...

At AC 100, all undead/demon units should be given a damage bonus. Good should be penalized greatly by making hell terrain spread to them at AC 100. Hyborem should get free units every turn. Victory is achieved when hyborem / allied evil civs destroy all the good civs.
