    How do you deal with neighboring cities' culture in a war?

    I don't usually count on the cities I capture it be good for anything anyway, so I don't worry too much about it being choked. It seems like if I keep enough military units in it, having it flip isn't much of a problem either. And I usually will have a lot of units in the captured city as it...

    impi question

    Think about it this way: The Woodsman promotion does double their movement in forest and jungle, but it still costs two movement to enter a forest or jungle tile. Another way to word it would be "reduces movement cost to enter forest or jungle by half". So an Impi with its 2 movement and...

    Do I have to buy "Civ IV" if I want "Civ IV Warlords"

    Yes. Warlords is only an expansion. You will need to have the base game first before you can play Warlords.

    1.) It is hard to venture any guesses without knowing the specs on either computer. 2.) You would probably get more help posting in the Tech Support forum.

    Some Thoughts on 2.08 Changes

    Could be the AI has just been techs with itself like mad, which allowed it to advance much faster. You mentioned you were stuck on your continent by yourself, so you didn't have this advantage. Try turning off tech trading and starting a new game. See if the same phenomenon occurs.

    Why no Hitler?

    Some great leader. Sure, he helped revive the German economy for a short time, but mostly through a military build up that could not sustain itself. And then, in just 13 short years (so much for his 1000 Year Reich), he left the country in a worse state than how it was when he came to power...

    Pirates wont run

    I am also having this problem. I can usually get it to work if I just reboot the computer, but that doesn't seem to be the case tonight. So what do I do if I can't even get the game to run long enough to change the graphics settings? Is there a file I can modify to change the graphics...

    PC Illiterate HELP!

    XML (eXtensible Mark-up Langauge) is just a way of formatting text to store information and make it more easily accessible programatically. This game uses it mostly for keeping configurations and rules and such. Since it is exposed and easily modifiable, people have been able to tweak the XML...

    If life was a game of Civ...

    After WWII, the German Empire would have ceased to exist, having been conquered by the British, American, and Russian Empires. These empires would still control the cities they conquered.

    How old are you all?

    I'm 25. Been playing Civ since Civ 1 and been playing computer games in general since I was in diapers. Don't have as much time for this stuff as I once did, but that doesn't mean I don't enjoy it. :cool:

    So i gave my copy of civ4 away....

    Where are you going to get a 360 at regular retail price before Christmas? Ebay is the only place you can find them for the foreseeable future and they ain't going cheap. [Back to topic] I can manage the addiction well enough so long as I don't load the game. Once I'm in, I'm in for hours...
