I did Nemo's fix, and it worked. I'm no longer getting the message, and it can run on the default settings just fine. No changes from 1.00.

Thank you, Nemo. I'll try that when next I play.

I got the whole thing to work by screwing around with the animations that it was showing in the settings. I still had the message that it wouldn't work, but it did.

I have the same problem. It was fine before the patch, and is buggy after. The animations don't work, the light doesn't show up when a great person does their thing, etc. I'm quite upset about it.

Reposted from another forum, but still my story: I was on my way to work (I live on Long Island), listening to Howard Stern. Suddenly, he stops in the middle of his bit and says that a plane hit the WTC. Like some of you, I thought it was a little prop plane, so I didn't think much of it...

I don't think you can join a game that's in progess; I had the same problem once, and I couldn't get back in. Luckily, it was early, someone else bombed out, and the game got re-started. In the next game, I was having problems with a bad dongle. Since I was doing a LAN game, it'd tell...

Looks like it will be a faster Medieval Infantry, which is 4/2/1.

... don't forget that they won't accept the deal if they can't afford it.

Something that hasn't been posted about that I've noticed since I installed 1.29f. In every game I've played, the techs are going *much* faster. I know there were complaints about the speed of tech tree on the lower levels, but this is a little nuts. I'm playing a huge map with 8 opponents on...

I can attest to the AI knowing your defenses. I took over three French cities with a large amount of cossacks They had a stack of ~50 infantry/riflemen/musketeer in my territory that they moved towards the weakest defended of those three. I moved a large amount of Cossacks to that city... and...

Right click on any leader while holding down shift. It will show you the other civs. Scroll down to pick the leader you want.

I'm fairly sure that improvements that have to do with city size (aquaduct, hospital) will stay if they were built. However, to me, it makes sense that the others are gone, *especially* the ones that affect culture. For instance, let's say the AI builds a temple (presumably to its gods)...

I like Bronze Working and/or Ceremonial Burial. Bronze Working because of the early spearmen, and CB so I can build that temple between settlers.

I should probably give my friend who tested the game a call, although I sincerely doubt he'd be able to tell me much. :)

I don't, either, for a while. I'll usually have at least 15 cities at size 12 by the time I get Sanitation. I'll have them produce workers (or settlers, if there's room for more cities) every other unit, and have a good rail system very quickly. After they get hospitals, I'll build granaries...
