Some reasons why I might want to sell/destory a building: a) A religious building is spreading an undesired religion amongst my provinces b) A city has been claimed momentarily but is sure to fall again once the enemy's reinforcements arrive. c) A small injection of cash is required...

You say 'Anyone who thinks otherwise hasn't played many games.' Unfortunatlely, having clearly played more games than yourself, this definately doesn't rank as 'by the far the worst release of a supposed class A game'. As far as I'm concerned, this is one of the best games I've ever played...

Hi there. Anyone know how to sell a building in a city ? Can you destroy wonders too ? Thanks Scotty

I'm also 33 years of age and am all too familiar with that 'sizzle' factor you speak of. However, having experienced things like this many times before, it's important to remember the power of nostalgia and the influence it can have on something like this. Sentimental nostalgia, I have come...

An interesting strategy. Surely worth a mention. Have you tested this technique then ?

As the debris settles and the whiners and moaners cower back into their pits, a glorious sunshine radiants the land. And, for a while atleast, the forces of good prevail. Thankyou Firaxis. Scotty

thanks guys....build definately says 1.09. Save version still 1.01. Ignoring wierdness. Proceeding to immerse in my virtual existence as Elizabeth of the English. And im not a tranny ! Scotty

I've installed the patch (but had a few issues), and even though i've deleted every record of my old version 1.01 saves, and played & saved a few turns since installing the patch, it still says 'Save version 1.01' in the 'About This Build' option in the main menu. Is this a problem ...

Hi there. I had a slight issue when installing the patch. It dloaded fine, and began applying the patch 1.09. When it reached 100% on the install of the patch, nothing seemed to happen, even after waiting 15 mins. After 15 mins I clicked cancel at which point it came up with a window...

Read more of this thread then.

Loved catching up with this ever evolving and mutating thread. Group hug guys ! Scotty

Regarding your point about units becoming obsolete because the 'the techtree moves past them too fast', have you ever tried playing on the preferred Epic game speed ? And what's useless about a jungle defense bonus ? Scotty

Quite simply, this game is a work of art. (As for the lack of female leaders, 'England' has 2 to choose and 'Spain' certainly has 1, and 'My Home 'definately has a female leader. Aren't ladies powerful enough in our lives ?) Scotty

Well Civ IV runs perfectly for me even on huge maps. I have no complaints whatsoever about the product even after reading the bugs forum extensively and regularly (other than the diplomacy bug which I don't exploit). Having said that, I eagerly look forward to the patch which will remove some...

Hehe. That bug seems to have been solved.
