Don’t know if this is a Barb mode issue, but just playing my first run through with the mode enabled, randomly rolling Corvinius (which is fun with the amount of CS’s at my disposal!). I don’t normally levy CS’s much in my games, but as it seems core to Hungary’s civ I’m doing it as much as...

Not seen this - you definitely have enough iron, right? I had an issue today where I improved an iron resource in one of my ex-barb CS’s and although everything said I should have been receiving 2 a turn it just wasn’t accumulating. Fixed with a reload.

I like this idea too, but need to wait and see how the AI handles it.

Well, that’s not entirely true. Each government does have its unique bonuses as well. Perhaps they’re not forward enough, need to be more powerful, or have certain negative traits as well (like dark policies). I don’t really like the over proliferation of policy cards, but maybe each government...

This sounds like fun. Even if not an option in the full game, I’d like to maybe see a scenario using a similar mechanic, with all players starting as a barbarian camp. With the aim maybe to unite your tribe and be the first to reach civilisation (or CS) status.

Does the ESC key work to exit the screen? I hardly ever use the buttons, just use keyboard shortcuts instead.

Hi All I've just gone through the rigmarole of reinstalling Civ IV Vanilla and Warlords and patching them up on my early 2009 MBP as I was experiencing an issue with backgrounds not appearing on game option menus (probably due to the installation being copied over when I upgraded to a new...

If you check my post here, you'll see I fixed this same issue on a unibody MBP by changing the anti-aliasing settings to 0. OB

I'm running it with the highest performance setting with the discrete Geforce 9600M GT. I haven't tried it with the integrated 9400. Setting either AA option messes up the leaderhead models, although everything else runs perfectly. Removing AA and the issue goes away. To tell the truth I...

Well I deleted my install and installed again including the latest patches and it was still giving me the same symptoms... BUT, I've discovered the problem! Turning off the anti-aliasing fixes the problem - setting it to 2 or 4 causes the models to misbehave. Thanks for your help in any...

Thanks AlanH I'll try a total reinstall and report back. OB

Hi All I'm having an issue with Warlords on my unibody MBP - all the ruler models aren't appearing properly, giving the effect of the rulers being invisible (except for an eerie pair of dancing eye brows, maybe, or an amorphous, vaguely person shaped, blob of ectoplasm...). Apart from this...
