Standard troubleshooting says to update to the latest OS service packs and video drivers (which your DXDiag suggests you haven't done). Looks like a video glitch and not necessarily a 64-bit OS glitch. Video problems can be caused by over heating or faulty RAM. Stress testing and watching...

The primary usage of my my siege engines is to bombard down city defenses. This means that accuracy is a key promotion, so it has to be city raider or barrage as the first promotion. If CR gives me > 50% chance of withdrawl, then that's what I use. If there's already a high chance or they're...

I'd argue not a bug. Rivers run "between" tiles, not through them. There are four sides to a tile and in the cases in question, there are no rivers adjacent to any of the the four respective sides of the tiles.

God forbid they make a promise to fix a game and actually fulfill that promise. To twist your words, are you saying that Firaxis isn't willing to do something that simple? That they'd be unable to follow through on a patch? Or they're not "man enough" to admit they'd run into delays if...

Having horizontal lines helps guide the eye and gives some order to the screen. The key is to add enough info but keep things from getting too cluttered when the number of civs go up. Also after seeing them, I think having the numbers in parenthesis doesn't help any and makes the screen...

I'm not sure why the OP labeled their silence as "alarming". When was the last time Firaxis/Take2/2KGames ever been forthcoming and responsive about when a patch was going to be released? All it would take would be a three words on their webpage saying "patch in progress" and that would be...

I think the whole "Vassal at War" thing needs to be redone and made consistant. I've always been annoyed about how when the civ I'm at war with capitulates to someone else, I'm automatically forced into peace. I have to declare war again (and get more negative modifiers) if I want to wipe them...

Scrollbars?

Forts provide access to a luxury/resource without the bonuses that come with working the tile. If that item is outside your cities' fat crosses, there's no loss in bonus and a gain in defense. The AI is also smart enough to use forts as canals.

I'd put the number in parenthesis below the text description. The portraits are more than two lines anyways. Looks good.

So drugs are bad but the violence factor in nuking cities, razing cities, sacrificial altars, killing people to increase production, slavery, and so on isn't wrong? Are you saying that wars are a joke and don't destroy real lives? You could also argue that CIV currently has: Alcohol...

I want an option for "Yes - There are some issues, but I am concerned that an official fix is months away." I'm guessing that the results will pretty much look like the poll I threw together where the results are roughly half positive and half negative, with just a handful at the extremes.

As a wise therapist once said, "the more you ruv someone, the more you want to kill him. . ." Caesar must've been a client.

Hrm. . . What browser are you using? Try IE for downloading this file if you can. You are staring from this page when you try to download, right? Try opening up the download.htm file in your browser. What loads?

With both the patch and Bhruic's patch to the patch out for a couple of days now, anyone else who hasn't chimed in yet care to make a suggestion or offer constructive criticism?
