Thank you kindly! I am giving my mother my old computer, and I'm clearing as much hard drive space as I can, so Civ has to go! But no worries about the savegames: I transferred them to my new computer months ago, when I installed Civ onto it! ;) Thanks again!

Hi all, I am looking for information about uninstalling CivII on a computer running Windows XP. Unlike CivIII and CivIV, CivII does not appear in the Add/Remove programs list on my computer, and I cannot find a way to uninstall it. I know in the good ol' DOS days, one could just delete the...

Hi all. I've been playing Civ4 ever since it came out, and I've come to know the game quite well, so today I decided to try the 3 mods that come with Vanilla, namely Greek World, American Revolution, and Desert War. None of them are working for me. Here's what happens: 1. Load Mod. 2...

I had a game where both Frederick and Bismark ended up on one-square islands to themselves. So they weren't threats at all. So I've come to the conclusion that if EVERY civ (except mine) was stuck on one-square islands, I might actually win! Though frankly...I'd still probably find a way to...

Ohh yeah, that's been bugging me a lot too. Well, there's a LOT about this that bugs me (and after starting about two dozen games, I've quickly come to the conclusion that I probably won't be successfully completing this Major...) but what can ya do.

This may indeed be the one I've been waiting for! Quattromaster here I come...maybe...I hope...maybe not...well, we'll see...

Wow! Way to go everyone! There are some impressive scores in that list! I only hope that someday I'll be able to play as well as some of you! I would like to do a little bragging of my own though, if anyone's interested: I had never submitted a game before this round of updates...but I am...

Yep...so the obvious follow-up question is: how did I miss that?!?! :crazyeye: Thank you Nick!

Hi all, I'm not sure if this question should really go into this forum or not, so I appologize if it should be elsewhere. Now on to the question... As we all know, Civ4 plays in full-screen. Is there any setting that allows it to NOT be full-screen, such that it can be minimized to the...

Well, I got my G-Minor submitted...it was my third try, but all three were successful games, I just mucked up (first one I forgot to turn the HoF mod on, second one I submitted the wrong files...but both would have been valid had I done the technical parts right...). So third try is the charm...

I think I'm ok as far as the Minor goes (though yes, I did muck it up, AGAIN :cry: ) But I'm on my third, and hopefully final, attempt to get it right! Getting the G-Major will depend on what settings they decide to require (the current Major I won't even bother to attempt at my current skill...

Right, everything you've said goes along with my assumptions, so that's good! There's no way I'm going to try to do the whole thing in only 18 games, because G-Majors are way out of my league (as is any game at difficulty levels beyond what I'm used to). But, if I can get away with it, I'll...

Hi everybody! Having just submitted my first ever game (for G-Minor 15), I was looking around the HoF, and I have a question regarding the Quattromaster Challenge: In order to qualify for one of the sub-events, do the settings not directly related to that section matter? Uh...that's not...

Yup, "not checked", I saw. :) I'm hoping it'll get checked (or rejected or whatever) fairly quickly, so I can try to submit a better game (or a valid one) before the deadline. I think I could do better if I tried...and as long as no one declares war on me for no reason whatsoever while I'm...

AD1556! Ok, so I'm not winning any speed records...though it IS about 100 years earlier than my invalid attempt this afternoon...AND I did it right this time! At least...I think I did...
