That thread would be interesting, but I think my tests still stand. Don't forget that any discussion of RNG settings etc is only a theory about what is happening. It is outcomes that count, not causes; and outcomes is what i tested for. Yes, the RNG is probably not truly random but thats just...

I am playing deity level in BTS game. I have a uranium mine working. I have the physics tech. But when I try to build an attack sub I can't - its' greyed out. When I check my resources, uranium is not there. The uranium mine is overseas so to confirm (using worldbuilder) I place a uranium mine...

Thanks, at least you realised that I had 'random seed' on. Obviously the 'experiment' would be pointless otherwise so most of the replies here are irrelevant. But I disagree with your comment on what I am 'noticing'. Yes. its a known bias that people remember negative results more often but...

Question for the vets here. I agree this was a great map - won a domination victory on deity by 1100s. But the early game was a bit strange. My plan was to whip quecha and later elepult (since the elephants were so handy) but all my big cities (cuzco - carthage - Paris) were surrounded by dense...

Agreed. Just finished a Korea game on Deity. I actually took one of Henrik's scenarios from this forum but instead of playing the suggested civ (Sumer) I chose the oreans,solely beacuse their starting position was beside two elephants and II realised they have the catapult UU. So I thought...

I'm used to Civ4 cheating like mad at the combat odds. Its not the 90% odds but still losing (thats what probability means!). It's when you have a 80% chance to win and you re-roll the fight four times, losing three in a row (thats 0.20 ^ 3 or 0.008 probability of happening). So yeah, Civ 4...

Thanks guys, but no, its not an obvious civics problem. I would always be in Free market for Corporations and it wasn't his civic that was the problem anyway. As I stated the problem was that there was no option to change his civics.

I want to spread mining inc to my vassal (Korea). He is friendly, he has iron, but I keep getting the "cannot expand mining inc within korean borders". I've dealt with this before even in this game by using diplomacy, got my vassal (Russia) to change economic civic. But for Korea the option...

I am at 600 AD with the teturkhan mod. Is it possible for me to get OZ's mod (which is conquests) and 'make' it the source for saved game? Alternatively I was thinking of just editing the teturkhan mod to give me my results. Eg edit the espionage centre small wonder (with the conquests...

I am playing this mod as abyssinia and enjoying the game. But i want to edit it. for some reason there is no secret police hq. how do I put SPHQ back in? I want it to work for a saved game I am am in. I have tried editing the bix file nut it has no effect on my saved game. Help. Phelim
