Here are some of mine, I'm sorry I don't know if they've been posted before: 1. Saves should sort by order of date, most recent save on top. 2. It should be possible to pull up the save menu and double-click on the file you want to save and have it save it, in addition to the "select, click...

I think most of the haters are people wanting it to be Civ 4.1. Civ 4, only with better graphics. There are always people like that, who can't let go of the older version. I can't believe how much fuss there has been about no clock, fer crying out loud!

I think they got the basic game working for their deadline and then shoved it out the door. The UI definitely has an unfinished feel to it -- e.g., when you bring up the military view (list of your units), you can't click on one of them and go to it. Another one: bring up the Cyclopedia and...

Right and watch a black screen instead. There are a number of little irritations I'm finding with the UI. For example, when you get to the save game screen, you can't just double-click on your country's name to save, you have to select and then click on the save game button. Not a biggie...

This is bad programming. Didn't they test this on slower computers? They should be testing for a click or Esc and go to a loading screen no matter how slow the computer. It's irritating.

How do you skip the intro movie after the first time? Esc, Enter, mouse, nothing works.

The manual (to vanilla) says little to nothing about the scenarios.

How many different civs are you trying to start with? The readme says that if your conditions are impossible to satisfy, they will be ignored. If you are trying to start with many, many civs, each to its own island, on a Standard size map, that might qualify as impossible to satisfy.

I also think this should be changed. In my game the Romans had been at war with the Persians for a long time but weren't getting anywhere because I was in between the two of them and hadn't allowed Open Borders with either. Eventually, I declared war on the Persians and had just taken my...

I vote Warlords, if it won't strain your budget too much, as Warlords is all I play and the leader traits have all pretty much changed, making advice about how to play vanilla less useful than it might otherwise be. Sure, the general advice has been useful to me as a relative n00b (a win at...

If you already know this, forgive me, but you know that before attacking you can select your stack, then right-click-and-hold on the enemy unit/city you're attacking, and you'll get the odds of the attack succeeding, right? If you decide not to attack, just move the pointer back to your own...

In the mods section of this forum. It's called smart map.

Thanks very much. I'm an idiot, never noticed that icon before.

I'm not clear what you mean. What's a "tab bar"? If you mean the percentage modifiers in the upper left of the main screen where you can adjust the amount of your commerce going to technology and culture, then yes, I use them, almost every turn. If you mean the buttons inside each city...

No one knows, huh? Typical for my questions. :( I guess what I really mean is ungroup all, not unselect all. Make all the units in a huge stack not part of any group. Am I the only one who would find this very useful?
