    Civ 4 Mac - Graphics troubleshooting

    @Raconteur I have the exact same problem, and ANNOYING is the best way to put it. Warlords' trees are perfect, but as soon as I fire up BTS on my Late 2011 MacBook Pro w/ Intel HD 3000 graphics, I get the stupid flickering trees! I hate it and I just want it to work. The weird part is, when I...

    Windows 7 Partition on MacBook Pro

    Hello All, Kind of a noob question here, but anyway: I have a macbook pro and a while back I partitioned my hard drive and successfully installed Windows 7 on the partition using BootCamp. My hard drive messed up and got corrupted several months later, and I had to get a new hard drive...

    Mods that attempt to recreate history OR create a fantasy world?

    Legends of Revolution has a more realistic feel to it, and is really fun to play in an "alternate history" sort of sense. It is really not a historically accurate but it lessens your concerns about modern japan taking on ancient rome, because often, civilizations in this mod disappear and new...

    Students using Civ4 in class

    I disagree. The method of teaching here is unique, and is by no means a reflection of current teaching methods or for that matter, level of student immersion in today's education system. Therefore, this teacher's methods should not be solely attributed to being a part of an obviously deeper...

    This damn dance is driving me crazy...

    Ya I had my first game today where the AI actually said "we are afraid of your enemies". Took me by surprise because I was so powerful.... oh well, I did as you say "put him out of his misery," as opposed to capitulating him. I never liked Joao II anyway.

    Just Jumped to Prince

    So, finally, I decided after a while of beating noble it was time to jump to prince. I had tried it once before, but failed miserably, so I was put off from trying. A few weeks later, today, I tried a game of Prince, standard, marathon, Earth 2, as Julius Caesar, and I was up against Toku...

    Why do we play Civilization?

    I love history, moreso, alternate histories. I like to think that when I am playing that history could play out, or could have played out just like it does in the game.

    My First Shadow Game as Hatty of the Egyptians :)

    Try to avoid this if you can. What he is saying is maximise your time right off the start and dont waste turns where your worker could have improved tiles but didn't because you didnt research the right techs.

    Shadow Me! Jumping In The Deep End With Princess Elizabeth

    Excellent, as I am a Noble player who would like to head into the Prince direction, I am very interested to see how this game goes. As I personally can not offer any useful advice, I will be paying attention to this as this game progresses; hopefully I can learn something. BTW, you have done...
