I have active games in WTP 3, how can I setup installation of WTP 4 so that both are available for use? I am running this in Steam.

I've been playing off and on for a long time, but given the changes from RaR to WTP I would love to see answers to these questions.

It shouldn't be a choice, really. Your nation is at war or it isn't, and the colonies are part of the nation, whether you want it or not. For example, there were many island colonies. They switched hands quite a bit because of wars. Even if those people didn't have the means to take the war to...

I guess I should have mentioned that both wars were at the "request" of the king? :king:

I hope this is the right place for this: I'm playing my first game with Happiness. -3 for war with Europeans is a bit stiff, but acceptable. However, making it -3 for every European country? If you are at war, you are at war. Adding a bit for more enemies I can see, not adding the same amount...

The war with the Swedes that the Stadtholder asked me to join has been going on 26 years. I was not happy about starting that because, of my 4 European opponents, the Swedes are the furthest away, and the Portuguese and the Spanish, both of whom I'd much rather have fought, especially the...

True, but early in a game, I'm not buying muskets for Line Infantry, I'm just buying enough to make militia.

Yes, please add it back in. Town Guard sort of fulfills the function of an early, rough militia. Also, early on it is annoying to have 100 Blades that you can't use without horses. So, you have weapons that can be used by Cavalry and on ships, but no one can use them on land even in defense...

Still playing. Mostly RaR, but wife wanted to do play MP, and she couldn't take the complexity of RaR, and having played Vanilla to start didn't want to relearn the buttons and such for TAC.

I played the original Colonization, and have played all of the Civilization series. Unfortunately, I did not know Civ 4: Col existed until the Steam Christmas sale 14 months ago. I have been playing Col off and on since then then. Tried Vanilla, but then quickly found TAC and RAR. I don't like...

I like this idea! Did you ever get anywhere with it?

You might try both Archipelago and Islands and play around with the settings. Another way to go that I like is Hub. One big "continent", but everyone gets their own subcontinent attached to the hub by a land bridge (you can change the width of the bridge in the settings). All of these are...

Um, a U-2 was shot down once. Recon aircraft are far from impossible to shoot down. Ground-based weapons and fighters can suppress and/or eliminate air recon.

Ahem, another lurker driven into posting by SevoMod.... I haven't tried the Mod yet--it is downloading now--but while waitint my turn in the download queue I was reading some of the thread. Just had to chip in with the following: It drives me crazy that I can't move food and production...
