I can't speak for Civ IV since i haven't played it in a while though i'm pretty sure its compatible with win7 (generally everything compatible with Vista is also compatible with 7), but civ V definitely is, being a recent game.

Or simply fill a carrier with fighters/jet fighters (or more, depends on how much enemy AA there is), do a few air sweep missions on enemy AA/air units and then send in the bombers. Whenever i launch a seaborne invasion i always bring a carrier or two with fighters because of this very same reason.

Are you disabling start bias when you start a new game? Because certain civs (like Egypt, iirc) are biased to start near desert tiles while others start near the coast, like England, or near forests like the Iroquois.

1985 here!

293 here.

If you don't have the money to provide your fleet with escorts, how is that poor design? Was CIV poorly designed because your stack of transports got sunk due to not having a single destroyer or battleship to defend them? Both caravels and destroyers have huge lines of sight (i can't remember...

Nope, resolution wasn't the problem. Guess i'll just give up now.

It does have the resolution of my desktop, 1680x1050 is my screen's native resolution. I have noticed though, that many games don't detect that resolution forcing me to use 1600x1024 and this includes CiV in directx9 mode. Yeah, i've tried numerous others, but it always shows up in 1680x1050...

Full screen, but i tried running it in windowed mode with the same results. But still, it worked yesterday and today with the exact same configs it didn't and nothing changed hardware-wise or software-wise between yesterday and today. All i can think of is some compatibility problem between the...

Sorry about the bump, but in a desperate last attempt i managed to solve the bug by manually editing the resolution in the config files to 1600x1024 (i had edited it to 1024x768 previously but it didn't work). Somehow the game didn't like my native resolution which is 1680x1050, but the...

They're all set to english, so it's not that either :(. Tried loading a game and then starting a new game, and both times the game crashed, so this most likely is a graphical problem. I guess i'll have to resort to dx9 graphics for the time being. EDIT: Tried installing an older version of...

That does sound strange, but since other than formatting i have nothing else to try, i'll try that.

Well, only one file ever gets downloaded, 22.4Mb iirc. Redownloading the whole game also didn't work so i guess it's nothing wrong with the game files themselves. Other than getting a newer nvidia driver i'm not sure what else to try next and even that i'm pretty sure it won't work. Oh...

Actually i have all my games in english (and CiV is no exception), despite them having portuguese versions (i play games since the early 90's, so i got too used to seeing english as language, plus the fact that many games have brazilian portuguese and simply call it portuguese). Tried deleting...

It is, i've been running CiV in dx10/11 mode for the last year. Really nothing changed in my computer lately except this latest patch and the graphics card which i acquired a month ago (and have played CiV without issues with this new gfx card in the last month). Anyways here are my specs...
