is there a way i can stop the game from moving to the next era? for example i don't want technology to proceed past the "ancient era" or "classical era." i want all civs to be stuck in the same time period and be unable to advance. i realize i can remove certain resources from the map and...

Is the turn limit like 500 turns or so? Is there a way to change the turn limit? Basically I'm looking to play a modern era game for all civs as if it started in 4000 BC. Speaking of starting in 4000 BC why did they take the ability away to dictate what year you start in or how many turns a game...

I'm starting a custom game in the modern era for all civs. The game starts at 1550 or so, if I turn off "Time Victory" will the game still end at 2050 or will it keep going until another victory condition is met? :confused:

Pentium 3.2 Ghz 1 GB RAM 160 GB Hard Drive nVidia 6800 256mb PCI Express Windows XP Service Pack Ran great at the begining then got all the "Failed To Initialize" crap. Followed the Civ4 website instructions for getting the ATI cards to work, just thought I would try it even with my...

Bast is getting a new computer soon. The specs you quoted are Bast's current system specs not the new computer specs.:nono:

I have this issue as well, running an Nvidia 6800 256mb PCI Express card. My game works well in all other areas, I am able to play with almost no problems but as soon as I zoom out I get those same lines, I hate it! I hope the patch will fix it next week! If you get any sort of reply from...

:sad: I have to agree with Venger, this thing was not ready for it's release. I too am running on "crappy hardware" Pentium 4 3.2Ghz, 1 Gig RAM, Nvidia 6800 256mb PCI Express Card, 160 Gig Hard drive, it seems I meet the requirements but it took hours to get my game playable.

There are just so many problems, I only hope they are using different systems and different graphics cards to come up with a patch that will work for everyone, or almost everyone atleast.

I think it was...thank you!

Suddenly I look north towards my city on the coast and there is an English ship sitting next to it. A few turns later a Spanish ship, then a Japanese ship, then a German ship, whats up with this "ship" :lol: Am I the only one experiencing the enemy ship problem? Keep in mind I wasn't at war...

I was unable to find the game cache, even after I turned on the, see hidden files thing, is that possible or am I not looking in the right place? I can save, close and load games with no problems. I have saved and loaded the same game about 5 times.

The great state of South Dakota along with myself, thank you for the incredibly quick replies, now I can sleep...after I play for a few hours. ...they did jack my treads

Am I missing something here? I assume you can still conquer cities? Last night I finally had enough with that tiny little Spanish colony on the shores of my continent and decided to take it over and make it mine. After rolling my tank over to the border and declaring war I was shocked to see...

My game is currently running almost to perfection. I am still getting major artifacts when I zoom out to the full globe mode. Here is the rundown. Game loaded... perfect, ran tutorial... perfect, played a standard single player game... perfect. The next day I get the "Failed to Initialize"...
