    Is there a program that can play the AC secret project movies?

    I've found an even simpler method: simply right-click while holding the SHIFT key (or simply right-click) and choose "Open with...", then select the playuv15.exe file and choose "Always open files of this type with this program" [note that I work with a Dutch version of Windows and not an...

    Which faction has the coolest Headquarters

    A truth if ever I heard one. Yet, the Gaian HQ is way cooler than the University one to me, since it blends in so nicely with the sunset.

    Is there a program that can play the AC secret project movies?

    I'd like to view the secret project movies outside of the game (especially those of the Ascetic Virtues, the Voice of Planet and the Singularity Inductor) because they just are too cool. But they have a strange extension (.wve) and I have no idea which program to use! Does anyone here know?

    Favourite AC Quote?

We long for a caring Universe which will save us from our childish mistakes, and in the face of mountains of evidence to the contrary we will pin...

    339. You take notice of the fact that there was a Russian scientist named Sakharov (I found out from a Great Scientist in Civilization IV...) 340. You write fan fiction about AC. 341. You find yourself wishing you could play it at all possible hours of the day.

    Funny Screenshots

    This is a nice one, especially considering how I won the Space Race victory a bit later. Anyone see the connection? ...It's actually very funny that my father said after I mentioned it that the man - a Russian physicist - actually won the Nobel Prize for peace because he was a dissident in...

    Welcome New Members

    Hiya... well, I'm new here (you might've guessed as much). I'm a woman of science and infinite wisdom (in my dreams... :mischief: ) and as such, I like Civilization. Most notably, Civ III and IV are what I've played so far - and I've played Alpha Centauri, too, which is a cool game as well...
