The reason being I have edited my xmls so much, it's like a mod. The new patch has different xml schematics, and I am too lazy to do the work of upgrading my xml. So now I can't use both the latest version of bat AND 3.13 compatible bug, what do you recommend I use?

I am playing BTS 3.13, I noticed I have to use a very old version of BAT, but can use a new version of Bug, can these 2 mix? and how to install? Edit:btw, which one and which version shows hidden diplomatic modifier?

My computer runs on a legacy IDE HDD. I wonder if I install Civ4 on a flash drive and run from there, it could run faster?

This is the thread where we discuss the meaning of icons related to the game. I will start with an obvious question that has been bothering me for sometime: What is the BTS shortcut icon represent? It looks like a round ball to me.

Does Civ 4 support multi-core?

My point is since a good HE city can already produce unit in one turn, what's the point of improving a good HE city's hammer output to make a great one?

I noticed that Civ5 is very different from Civ4, and reverted a lot of changes brought by Civ4. Some obvious examples include: 1. Fewer tile improvement choice 2. Wonder less powerful 3. Resource provides little bonus. 4. Diplomacy unclear 5. Can't compete for a tile with culture 6. No...

Thanx, I will try that.

I still can't get it to work. I clicked on the tile a couple of times, and the damn head keeping appearing. I clicked on other tiles, same head. It seems that I have to release another tile before I can lock a tile. And even that only work sometimes. The learning phase of a strategy game is...

Today I muster the will power to try to enjoy this game, after a couple failed attempts. The problem I have is that the governor keep override my choice. I would assign my citizen to work on the accadamy, and when I left the city, the governor decided that an unimproved hill is a better choice...

I had high hopes for civV, but couldn't finish one game. I subconsciously know the reason, op say it out loud. I have a few questions: 1. how do you know of the level of involvement of Sid in the games? Maybe Sid introduced concepts like religion, maintenance, cottage growth, 1pt etc. The...

A good HE city can have around 300 hammer. In epic and faster speed, it's enough to finish anything during the industrial age. More hammer would be converted to money, so what's the point?

One thing to add, Aggressive AI makes AI cannon folders in the industrial age. AIs will focus so much on military in the medieval age that their economy and research cripple in the resonance, and then they will upgrade their whole army to rifleman, and cavalry, further draining their treasury...

I always play Unreastriced leaders Never Random Personalities. Mostly because I will drill my brain out trying to figure out who's who. That's a complexity I don't want in a game. I like to play crosswords and civ4, but not both at the same time. You CAN figure out who's who. favorite...

For more than 3 years, I play with unrestricted leaders, and I play with 12 AIs! For the first couple of games, it's a bit disorieating, but you brain will get used to it fast enough. When you play UL, you will realise that civilization traits means little for AI. If your neighbor is sitting...
