Anyone else having an issue after the latest update with technologies appearing twice in the "Choose your Research" panel? I thought it was just a UI quirk at first, but it turns out that both separate listings for a technology can be researched independently and may not grant you the desired...

EDIT: crud, just saw there was a bug thread.

I believe I was on 4L (installed 4k, installed 4L over that). Not sure if that's the right way to do it, the download page was a bit confusing to me. My problem too. After about 10-15 minutes it would finally progress beyond that and then crash to desktop.

Rock Paper Shotgun is calling for some suggestions of mods they should feature: http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2009/10/26/rps-asks-your-mod-recommendations I think Fall from Heaven II deserves some RPS love, don't you?

I've seen a few threads on here from time to time asking about standalone versions of Pitboss that don't require a full install, Win2K3 setups, etc. Through some rather tedious trial & error, I managed to whittle down the full Civ IV installation to just the files & folders needed to run the...
