    Civ4 BTS v3.19 Patch

    Ah, just figured it out. The trick is to not overwrite a save. So the problem was with 3.19, but while annoying it's fixable.

    Can't load saved game

    Never mind; the solution is simply to not overwrite saves.

    Civ4 BTS v3.19 Patch

    I recently downloaded CIV BTS on Direct2Drive with patch 3.19. My PBEM buddies patched their CDrom versions to 3.19 so we could play together. But now when we try to start a game this scenario happens: Player 3 gets the save from Player 2 but when he tries to open the save file it asks for...

    My First Online Game

    Here's my advice: go home, newbie! PS. Saladin's capital is AMAZING! Mecca is truly Mecca.

    Immortal University 28: Isabella

    Immortal Normal Diplomatic Victory in 1832 AD. I'm not sure how to post pictures, but I'll detail the game in spoilers at least: Thanks, guys, for letting me join the fun. I will probably start playing along from now on. I've attached the latest save I had. I didn't have the final save.

    Is Calendar underrated?

    Calendar is a tech that I seldom prioritize. I'm curious if anyone else thinks it's underrated? Obvious caveat, it's only useful if you have calendar resources, but how early should one target calendar to unlock plantations? I'm currently playing a game in which I had bananas and spice in the...

    How much do you write down?

    In multi-player it's a lot of fun to name your cities to smack talk your opponent. Names like "I Own You", "Come Get Some", "All Your Base", etc... One time while I was winning a war, I captured a lightly defended city called "Plump Berry". Made my day. :lol:

    How much do you write down?

    I take extensive notes when I'm playing multi-player play-by-email games. Then of course, that's mostly because there's nothing else to do between turns. Basically, my buddy and I chronicle our games so we can read it from each other's perspective when it's over. It adds a level of enjoyment...

    ALC Game #25: Celts/Boudica, Take 2

    Hi Sis, I am the ultimate lurker but have been reading your games for years. Glad you're starting the series back up. My two cents: research AH first then Mining. You need to feed that mine before you can work it. Also, the cow tile is your best tile with a combined 6 food and hammers...

    TMIT's Guide to Speed Civving

    The tip about waypoints is worth the read. Personally, I've never enjoyed real-time games. I always feel rushed and harried. I enjoy the slow pace of a turn-based game, however, I can't stand some of the tedium. A few of your suggestions will help in that department. Thanks!
