My game kept crashing after about an hour of play. No matter how many different times I restarted and tried again, it would crash with the error message "Unable to allocate draw buffer, terminating application". This would be followed by corrupt save game files that came up with "Invalid Save...

The Germans have the traits I want and I make them Expansionistic. My first two builds are warriors that go in different directions, looking for mountains for a good vantage point. Since I have to wait forever to build a settler anyway, this works well. Since the new patch, I've found a lot...

For the first time since I've played the game I was pleasantly surprised. I was playing a continental map with myself (Germany), the Russians and Zulus on my continent. Zulus demand Education (ironic) and then declare war. They have to go through the Russians to get to me. I guess it took...
