    Patch not fixed pointer vanishing

    My video card Nvidia GeForce 6600 is only about 8 months old but I am downloading the latest drivers for it, again. Thanks for the advice

    Mouse freezes/vanishes

    Ever since the first patch (which resolved a few provlems) I have been able to play right up until the pointer freezes, leaving only the keyboard to move about with, which is extremely awkward. So, after closing the game I find that the pointer has completely vanished and no mouse movement...

    Patch not fixed pointer vanishing

    This patch has not fixed the problem I have had ever since the very first patch and that is of my mouse pointer freezing but moving the mouse occasionally touches something and spasmodically highlights it. When this happens I literally have to reboot, because the mouse under windows just...

    Show resources in game

    Hi How do I do this? I have seen a few of the funny screenshots and see that the resources are visible with icons pointing to them as they are revealed. Many thanks Nig

    Expansion and naval units

    I agree wholeheartedly, especially about the privateers. I used to build loads and have around 20 at any one time (coastal cities permitting) and caused havoc with transports without having a war.

    AI DOES cheat, big time!

    Marmoset, most of the catapults had Combat 1 but the swordsman, no, nothing. Meffy, I see what you are saying but hpw can a single swordsman take out so many units without healing?

    AI DOES cheat, big time!

    Just deleted a game I was playing at Warlord (I know, wimp level, but I get totally hammered at Noble), anyway, I have a city on a hill defended with 2 Axemen, 3 archers and a spearman with walls. Surrounding the city is forest and jungle (built the city there because there were gems and iron...

    marathon speed, awesome

    Nice one thordK I have made the changes and playing and so far so good! I think there will be many hours, days, weeks, possibly months of play in the same game! It is a bit annoying though that the game will finish regardless in 2050. I posted a thread about CTPII about how better (in many ways)...

    She Again

    But, all said and done, when she slaps.... I keep on at her until she does. Its a shame that Hetshapsut is so placcid and un-violent. Now, she could give a dream slap, I am sure!

    marathon speed, awesome

    Do all of the figures need to be increased in the XML file? The confusion for me and I assume thenooblet22 is that there is no definition with tthe figures. Year increment 20 and turns increment 100 and the next is Year increment 10 and turns increment is 200. Thgis does not make sense how can...

    marathon speed, awesome

    OK. Really dumb question here. Which figures do I change to lengthen the game?

    Lyrics for Baba Yetu (For those who want to sing/read along)

    Thanks Thunderfall. Don't know what it is but it just does something. Believe it or not I am a Slayer, Metallica fan!

    Is there anywhere that this can be downloaded?

    1.52 rebooting my PC... still

    The bugging problem I have is that the pointer stops working which makes gameplay very hard to control. The only way out is to shut the game down and reboot, because the pointer even in windows is not working. Actually it vanishes completely!
