AWESOME, thanks! I used that button earlier in the game when I had too much unhappiness but didn't realize it absolutely prevented growth--I thought it just told the city governor to prioritize non-growth pop placement options like specialists. Thanks again!

This is probably a dumb question, but I can't seem to figger it out: Using Mac version of Vanilla; patch version 1.74 Playing SP, prince level, large map, Epic. I am around 700 AD in a rather protracted war. I noticed some of my cities have stopped growing for an unknown reason, at different...

Please can we stay away from discussions about how to achieve dubious software copying? I know you mean well, but this is a public forum, and other readers may not be so honourable, Sorry Mods. Actually I just got the same advice mentioned by celesfar from the Apple store after I found out it...

What a pain. Thanx. Ironic that a piece of software I actually bought legit can't be used.

I haven't played in a few years and decided to play again, but just realized my DVD drive on my laptop is not working--I can't insert any disk. Any way I can play? Also for the future when I have it fixed, isn't there a way to play without stuffing a disk in there? Who wants to carry around...

Cool, this is convenient. Thanks for the info and quick reply.

This one's for Brad primarily: I hear there's a new PC patch in the works (I guess 1.18). Are all the patches cumulative--i.e. if I were to install 1.18 (I currently have 1.17f), would I get the changes made in 1.17g as well? I've been applying each patch individually up until now, but I...

Anyone see Reservoir Dogs? Sounds like Steve Buscemi's famous objection to being "Mr. Pink"!

For the record, my music preferences work perfectly now. iMac SE graphite G3 400 mHz, sys X.1 Thanks Brad.

I guess nobody else had had this sort of problem, but I just had another freeze-up yesterday, and actually I wasn;t doing *anything* when it happened. I was looking at the map deciding what to do with a worker, when it just froze. Again, same thing, I had to turn the comp off and on. I never...

I basically reduce the city I'm about to conquer to 2-3 foreigners by repeated bombardment before the conquest, and after qonquest, I either starve the city or build (foreign) workers or settlers from the conquered city after the conquest. I use foreign workers for free labor, and occasionally...

I wasn't really complaining, since I don't yet have a powerbook (probably will by next year). I don't understand what you don't understand Brad. Say I leave in the morning, and want to play the game at some time in the afternoon, but don't want to lug the CD around with me. I have to boot the...

The problem with the cmd-p workaround for notebooks is that you have to leave your computer running. The battery will run out. So in fact you will need to go out the door with the CD. Bummer.

If you notice, he says "So, want to be teased a few more days...?"; also Brad said he was just about to release the Mac-specific patch when they got wind of 1.17f, so they are probably just taking a few days to port the 1.17 patch to the mac. I suspect release is imminent.
