Also, I searched through the forum, and found no problem that really matched mine.

No matter how many times I start the program, it gives me the same garbage. First it tells me about the "known compatibility issues" and then when I proceed anyway, it shows the game as "loading" but then I get this utter nonsense about how the program has stopped working. It doesn't seem to get...

The biggest problem with Civ 4 from what I noticed was that it simplified the number of units and even took away nuclear submarines. Then there was the rather craven design of the religions which gave no religion any particular advantage over another. Beyond that, I notice the game acts as...

Right, so I take it that means I have to go into the code of each mod and pluck from each what I want?

Ok, so I've had Civ4 for a long time but never got to playing it. Been way too busy to get into a game that demands hours and hours of my time. But the time has come and before I play the game, I do recall that the game in its natural state had some glaring omissions (no stealth fighters or...

More units: Stealth Ship (Sea Shadow): Can spot submarines, also has the stealth properties of a submarine, but isn't spotted by ships with can spot subs. Has high bonus against subs. City Improvement: Super Cannon: The name sounds like some stupid anime thing, but in reality this was...

Amen to that.

In this game, it's built around the birth of Jesus of Nazareth, but if there are no Hebrews in the game, would the savior be born at that exact point in history? The Messiah should be granted randomly to a civ whose leader has the trait Spiritual and should come at a point at which they are...

How hard is it to mod the game so you can get a philosophica/industrious leader? Help this noob out.

This missile defense bullfeathers is the biggest waste of money. Within a decade, the airborne laser will be active, which is able to blow up ICBMs from far away and it will be much cheaper to launch and operate than some silly intercept missiles. On the other hand, the fact is, a nuclear-tipped...

Nope, no stealth fighter in Civ4. Also, as far as nukes go, I think it should be modded so that ICBMs are less effective when launched from a long distance. The reason we still have gravity based nuclear bombs and other such delivery media is that when you launch a rocket from, say the...

I'm at it again. And no folks this won't be a regular feature... I DO have a social life. Improvements: Citywide Wireless Internet: Increase research 25%, +1 commerce, can turn 1 citizen into merchant. Requires the Internet (obviously). Quantum Computer: Increase research 50%. VERY...

Yeah, your ideas gave me a few more things to work with: Black Op: Has some combat value as well as the commando upgrade, and can also perform spy duties. Model would look like the black ops in Half Life. Jet Bomber: Akin to TU-95 Bear, B-52, TU-16 Badger. Like regular bomber but more...

There should be two kinds of technology, esoteric and simple. A simple technology that you can learn by observing, such as any of the religions, or the political systems should osmose from culture to culture. Technologies like nuclear science and chemistry however should be able to be...

Oh, and I should add a few extra points. War chariots were NOT unique to the Egyptians. The Greeks of the bronze age used them as well. The great Trojan war was likely fought with armies of chariots charging at each other (not this pansy ass taxi service they seemed to be used for in Troy)...
