Okay, so, do you think I'm just not researching enough military stuff? In my last game, I researched only military stuff as far as I could. In the strat guide you linked to, one viable strategy listed involves prioritizing military research after nearly all other research. This makes me...

Yes, this is MoO2 I'm talking about. But I think I must not have made my problem clear. I don't understand what you mean by saying I'm "Not able to design ships and refit them to those new designs." More precisely: I know what you're talking about, I just don't understand the relevance...

Here's the laptop I just ordered. I didn't order it for gameplaying, so it's not a big deal whether the game will run or not. It would just be a nice bonus. It definitely meets the recommended requirements (just barely) but I want to know realistically what kind of performance I'll get...

I just bought this game. It seems like it should be pretty fun. But I can't figure out tactical combat. I've started four games now, at the difficulty level called "Tutorial." I seem to have the mechanics down pretty well. But every time I enter into combat for the first time, I am utterly...

Are building scales finalized? It's odd that the colliseum (sp?) is the same size as a small hut... -mS

Sorry, I haven't been keeping up for the last several months. Could someone catch me up and tell me what major bugs exist in Conquests as patched to 1.22? It looks like the thread at the top of this forum is including bugs from older versions. Thanks... -mS

I vaguely recall a discussion about this occuring several months ago, but can't find it with a search. I was wondering if there was ever a resolution on this issue? I have been playing tiny maps lately, random civ, all other civs set to random. No matter what civ I end up getting, the other...

I am using v1.12 right now. I get the impression people are not happy with some of the patches. So which patch should I be using? Is there anywhere I can go for a rundown of the changes in each patch and the problems some people have with them? -mS

It's strange that the bug seems to act differently for different people. Out of 20 trials on a tiny 70% land map, I had a majority of my opponents (at least two out of three) being American civs 90% of the time. And there was at least one American civ among my opponents 100% of the time...

I didn't keep a record of which civs I was, but I was watching to see if I seemed to be being placed in any particular group more often than others. It did not seem as though that as the case. In other words, I recall having been the ottomans, japanese, aztecs, french, russians, koreans, and...

Catt, The bug we're referring to happens when culturally linked is *on.* -mS

I have noticed a bug in 1.12 which causes most of your opponents to be from the American cultural group most of the time when you select "culturally linked start locations," no matter what civ you yourself happen to be. Is this fixed in 1.15? -mS

Does 1.15 fix the bug I am about to describe? I have 1.12. I noticed something wierd, and did the following test as a result. 20 times in a row, I selected "new game" with no world seed, tiny, 70% land coverage. I selected random for my own civ and "all random" for opponent civs. I...

I think it woudl be cool in Civ4 to have varying tech, building and unit trees for different culture types or even different specific civilizations. -mS
