The origional poster is just some old grog who's used to playing OLD wargames with OLD game engines and can't accept the NEW CHANGE to the way combat systems can and do work. I like the combat system and I'm an old grog from the 60's. But, some just can't conform and so they gripe, hence why...

Ummm there is an option also called "Always WAR", try turning that one on if you want a wargame. Too many people want civilization to be a wargame and it's called CIVILIZATION for that reason to get CIVILIZED, you don't see major wars razing all over the world anymore, it's about PEACE and...

I believe what I am seeing in manys complaints is they are using higher resolution settings as well. I tend to stick with 1024x768 and all my games run great. Try bumping back down to 1024x768. That's prehaps why my game runs as smooth as any other game because I don't push my system to the...

My game runs flawlessly. On a mere 2.4ghz 1gig ram 5900 ultra GeForce Video card. Smooth as a babies behind. But, I keep my system clean and a hard-drive specifically for the OS and Virtual Memory only. This two hard-drive setup I made is the kits meow. 7200 rpm hard-drives Seagates. Between...

You guys do know you can modify (change) war weariness down to practically nothing in the XML files. So, quit whinning and start changing the game to what you want it to be, it's so flippin easy. Cause no single one game design can be the beall game for everyone. I have no complaints because...

He might have found a late game goody hut that gave him a spy. ;) Or he might have put himself into a golden age. You can't see everything the AI is doing so don't automatically assume it's cheating just because you can't do it. ;)

The WORLDINFO XML file is where you can setup the "default" number of civs for each type map you plan on playing. Up to 18. The other way to do it is like someone else suggested if you scoll down to the bottom of the player selection lists you will see a blank box that you can open and set it...

Even though it's a modification to the files, it's not really a MOD as much as it's a "scenario". Reason being for it to work properly you must play on a Huge Epic Pangea Map with 14 Civs at least and the map size 100x60 or 80x60. If you played with less civs or tried to play it on another speed...

If you look closely at the "options" CIV IV can be played like any previous Civ before it I think. From the warmongering CIV I, right on into CIV III and then CIV IV with it's new addition of religion and how it plays into another strategy of the game. Every game I've played "Huge Epic...

Those that complain that the AI doesn't play enough conquest or warmonger obviously aren't playing with the options: Aggressive AI, Raging Barbarians and Always War. I started a game with these settings and got pulverized. But, then they will complain the AI doesn't give them enough time to...

The key to success and building a large city of success is "zoning" your city when you first get it. Analyze what size it can grow to or you want it to grow to vs the amount of production and commerce you want it to generate also. 1) A city cannot grow without excess food (farms) 2)...

Hrmmm, let's see the AI shoots to get a higher population per city than you. The AI shoots to build wonders before you do (and does in a lot of cases). The AI shoots to build more military units than you. The AI shoots to be the first in space. The AI shoots to make deals that...

One reason is you are thinking of this GAME in REAL LIFE terms and it's not a real life simulation, wasn't meant to be, never was stated it was. It brings merely the "illusion" of our own civilized trek through time, but, it stops there when it turns into a GAME. Therefore, your tank isn't...

I think you people who enjoy the early game especially the ancients period are going to really love "Slitherines Legion II" when it comes out next year. It's going to focus on a civilization type game of that period only and real time battles, though not an rts clickfest. More of a command...

Now, I didn't say that, I just said there should be a forum for that, so all the negative people can all have their own place and all the positive people can have theirs. ;) Thing is most people tend to lean and flow toward the good instead of the bad/negative, so there would probably be a...
