HI, I am running MacBook Pro, 2.33 Ghz Intel core 2 Duo, with 3 GB 667 MHZ DDR@ SDRAM, running software 10.6.6, with 12GB of harddisk space available. Why can't I run the Mac Civ V on my machine? Do I need any patches? Do I need any updates? Or is my laptop just too old? Please...

Hi, I'm a newbie to Civ V. How do I get people to another island? Can I use a Trireme? What's the first ship I can build to move people off my island? How do I guard my cities? The seem to suck in my Warriors? How do I upgrade my Warriors? I loved Civ IV, I'm just trying to...

How do you boost your Economy? What buildings do I build in my cities that help the Economy? How long does a Plague last? I never seem to survive one. My cities eventually change to Independent after several turns. What are the best Civics for good stability? What are the best...

If I go back to an auto save before the collapse and war with Germany will everything happen again? Will Germany still declare war? Next time I won't keep the cities I'll just wipe them out. I had to fight, Germany gave me no choice and didn't want Peace.

What's up with Independent Cities taking over my territory. I'm playing Greece, everything is wonderful, lots of men, the Great Wall, then Germany invades. I kill them off and take his land. Everything is really good. Then all of a sudden all my cities except Athens is taken over by Independent...

With help from another Civ IV forum, I've got the answer. You need to hit the Num Lock key first then use the numpad to move your unit in to Independent territory to Declare War and move in to the territory. On a MacBook Pro the numpad is the tiny numbers located on the keys (7, 8, 9, U, I, O...

tee hee It's working now. Thanks so much.

When I use the arrow keys on my laptop they just move the map around. I'm still stuck. Any other ideas?

Hi, I'm playing RFC (Rhye's and Fall of Civilization) on a MacBook Pro with a partition set up specially for this game, running Windows XP playing CIV IV BTS. I'm trying to cross in to Independent Cities. I don't know how to right-click. I've tried various key commands while clicking...

Thanks Panopticon that helps a lot. I was able to beat off Turkey. Yeah! I've killed off the Mayans but am surrounded by Independent Cities. How do I cross into them? I'm having so much fun. Does the game end if I don't win any of the UHVs? I've got one left I'm trying to beat. Thank you, Rosy

I've been playing Rome and get the barbarians under control, then Spain pops up and then France and they take over my land and go to war with me and I never recover. Anyway around that? One time I tried switching to Vikings but have to start all over. Does anyone eventually pop up on Viking...

Thanks, I set the Options to "Wait at end of turn", so far that's worked. Any ideas on what civilization I should start with, I keep getting killed. I need someone with iron near by. Having lots of fun, but wish I could make one challenge and beat off the barbarians. Thank you, Rosy ;)
