    The comments about rubber and jungles compelled me to point some things out. Everyone seems to take Civ4 jungles for granted, so I'm not advocating change, simply mentioning an observation. The idea that iron working is necessary for jungle clearing is ahistorical. Mesoamerican societies never...

    The map problem in post #4109 is precisely why I haven't been able to create an acceptable map. Functionally, I'm sure everything would work--but it'll look like hell. Is there a fix for this? I've tried everything I can think of. If a solution is out there, I'd make my own maps . . . for RI.

    Used the solution in post 4009. Worked. Thanks very much. I'll still check in from time to time to see if the 3.2 version is working right. It certainly looks promising. My problems are the two mentioned above; the all-black background after map generation (and only generating a map with the...

    Apparently, the new version installed over the old version. So now, not only can I not play the new version, but the old version is gone. Considered un-installing both, then reinstalling the old version, but, after checking the first post in this thread, the old version is now gone completely...

    First, thanks for all the work on the mod. RI is, IMO, simply the best mod out there. Some comments from someone who plays nothing else but RI might be useful, so here they are; 1.) Post 3928 reported a peculiar problem w/all black screen behind units and forests. My copy of 3.2 did the same...

    finally got around to re-installing everything today and now everything (so far) seems to function. Wouldn't have bothered to post except for one thing. Did something different this time installing--installed the scenarios. Had not been doing that during the previous installs--didn't think it...

    Reinstalled civ4 GOLD (vanilla and warlords.) Attempted to install patches 1.74, then 1.61. Both refused to install, w/a little window informing me that NO version of civ4 was present. I'm assuming then that both these patches are installed for the GOLD package. The specific problem w/RI is...

    Installing Civ 4 on Windows Vista / 7 / 8 / 8.1 / 10 / 11 (32-/64-bit)

    Finally installed the GOLD package. Then attempted to install the 1.74 patch. Before the shield wizard could appear, little window popped up and said that I had NO version of Civ4 installed. Downloaded and attempted to install 1.61 patch. Same result. Is the GOLD version of the Civ4/Warlords...

    Installing Civ 4 on Windows Vista / 7 / 8 / 8.1 / 10 / 11 (32-/64-bit)

    Thanks, Kiwitt, for the response. So you recommend installing vanilla and warlords (via the GOLD package), then patches for both, then BtS, then 3.19? I've had trouble lately with my favorite mod, and I'm attempting to restore functionality to it by this process. Several attempts have been...

    Installing Civ 4 on Windows Vista / 7 / 8 / 8.1 / 10 / 11 (32-/64-bit)

    Had some problems w/civ4 recently so decided to uninstall and reinstall everything; Civ4 gold (including vanilla and warlords) and BtS. Is it required to install the 1.74 patch for vanilla AND the 2.13 for warlords PRIOR to installing BtS? Or is there another sequence? Say, installing 1.61...

    thanx Darkphoenix for the response. I'm an English-speaker, w/no unusual things in my name, Phenix. Currently, I'm trying this; install Civ4 gold, then patch 1.74 for civ4, then patch 2.13 for warlords. Given that my disks are from the civ4 gold package, I'm not sure this is correct. After that...

    Had problems with RI--the version available on the first page of this thread. Uninstalled it. Downloaded RI light version. Ran the installer. Installed it. Clicked the shortcut on desktop. RI loaded. Arranged settings quickly just to test. When I clicked on running the game, post-settings, it...

    Quick question; Custom Assets "shortcut"

    Is it normal that I can't double-click and get into these files/shortcuts? A small window appears that indicates that the comp can't "find" the "shortcut" whenever I do this, yet the file is right there. The same thing happens whenever I attempt to double-click any other of the "shortcuts" in...

    Rome Total War rules manual?

    Got the RTW original but the package had no rules manual. Where can I get the rules? The readme on the disc says it's on a disc somewhere. Where? thanx in advance.
