Another vote against the lack of transparency on this. If you're going to have an option to click on, the ramifications should be clearly defined, both via tooltip and in the Civilopedia. I can understand keeping leader's thoughts/intentions hidden but I am growing increasingly frustrated with...

Checked both Civilopedia and the PDF Manual and cannot find a consistent source regarding improvements to pieces of land with resources on them. Example: Grassland w/ Marble 2 food 2 gold Per the Civilopedia, the mere presence of Marble gives the Grassland(2 food) a bonus of 2 gold. So...

Thanks for the feedback! That helps a lot! Since a lot of Mac hardware lives in its own proprietary world(at least pre-Intel), I didn't know how "special" the memory was. But I did find some on Newegg that should fit the bill...

I'm a stranger in a strange land(PC user), so forgive me. Has any of this been worked out? Also, if my room-mate(mac) and I(pc) want to set up some multiplayer goodness on our wireless home router, is there a way to do this directly? Are there any handy directions? I've heard of something...

Hello party people. My room mate has a PowerBook G4. Specs are below(as best as I could copy, I'm a PC owner) It might be a push, but he wants to get Civ4. It appears the only hope would be a memory upgrade(he has 256 and I'm not sure if that is shared with the Go5200 or not, I'm...

Cool, that makes sense. Thanks for the quick responses! cheers, -J

Not trying to gloat, but it appears the game is running fine(a little slow but I only have 512mb of ram as well) on my laptop with Intel 852/855 chipset(latest drivers installed). The unpatched Civ4 gave the usual Cheshire cat leader business as well as broken fog of war. Patched to the...

I've attached a picture of one of my cities. It has just started in terms of it's cultural border and yet as you can see from the picture, I have this odd lobsided border where I have the initial 9 squares of resources and then a bottom 3 squares as well. Is there any explanation for this? I am...

Hey Janus, Forgive me if this is scattered. I'm doing this at work :) As you are making changes, are you able to adjust the AI to compensate for these changes as well? Meaning, is the AI now able to take advantage of the changes you have made? Just wondering. Also, as far as...

Not trying to be contrary, but I've never played a Civilization game before Friday(though I have made up lost time by playing an embarrassing amount since that date :) I am having a bit of the Civ doldrums as well. I bumped up to Noble and find the same patterns emerge. Build up my civ, have a...

First of all, great work and ideas from every one. I'm starting to see what makes Civilization such a huge success and that is certainly the fans. One thing that would be nice is the ability to build forts on top of resources without wiping out the improvements that are on there. EDIT: Forgot...

I'm not sure what power plants and such do. Apparently they provide electricity and such but I don't see electricity mentioned as a resource or a pre-requisite for building anything(unlike uranium, oil, etc..). It's not mentioned as a game concept or anywhere(that I have found) in the...

I have the same problem. I have the latest updates for the graphics card and all of the graphics work except the actual map. I can even zoom out and after a certain point the world will display correctly. Technically, the Intel 82865g is not supported so I'm not sure we're going to get much...

I have the exact same issue. It always happens if I Alt-tab which I've only done once(testing if I could play the game at work during downtime :) Otherwise, the graphics are fine at first, I can zoom out, nice world, clouds, etc, but then after a certain period of play I get glitchy lines when...

I currently own a PC but my roomie has a Macintosh and we're wondering if/when Civ4 comes out for Mac if we'll be able to play together online. I own Civ4 and the upgrades they've made make the multiplayer option much more appealing. I am completely Mac illiterate so forgive me if this...
