    getting past intro screen

    If you use this method, you will get a black screen until the game loads, but you will not have to press multiple keys to interrupt the intro video and get to the first screen.

    The new patch seems to have arrived

    I'm still experimenting the different paths to victory. I had a well developed game going that could have gone either Space Race or Domination to victory and I had saved the game before the diverging paths... I had also saved a game down each path... Now all are lost... :cry: If you...

    More downloaded

    13.6 MB extra downloaded to my computer. I pre-purchased the deluxe edition. I wonder what the differences in the extra download size is about? :think:

    Answer to people who wondered why 2K use Steam even for retail...

    Or the dreaded "Enter the tenth word of the sixth sentence in the third paragraph on page 128 of the manual to continue." that was used at the start of a game (and in a few games) randomly during game play. Now that was annoying! But, I suppose that was the best anti-piracy measures they...

    Amazon guide Sept 10 (postponed)

    Given the printers lead time to publish a book... How long ago was this "guide" compiled? I think too long ago to be of any use. :rolleyes:

    Opinions on 1upt

    The "Stacks of Doom" are unrealistic, but limited stacking is realistic. Warfare throughout the ages has always had different types of units supporting each other. The weakness of one unit strengthened by other types of unit. The weakness of artillery to attack by cavalry; The solution, have a...

    A warning now, OR don't cry later. This is to save you some aggrivation.

    :lol: Not wishing to play the "Old Codger" card. :mischief: You young whippersnappers ;) have it too easy now-a-days. "Late Game" turns used to take eons in old (read ancient) systems... You could roast an entire Ox whilst waiting for your 14MHz CPU and 4MB of RAM system to go through...

    The weak link (according to "Can you run it") in my system is the video card, a GeForce GT 120 (OEM), everything else is above the recommended specs... Even that seems to pass the recommended specs in everything but name, I'll wait and see. :D As I have no problem watching Blu-ray discs on my...

    Welcome New Members

    I have no problems running it in Win7 Home Premium 64-bit. How are you running the game, from disc or through Steam? If through Steam and you're also running Spyware Doctor, there's a conflict between the latest Steam update and Spyware Doctor. Spyware Doctor will stop the game from running...
