    required techs for industrial era?

    I think if you go to the tech screen, you can hover over each tech and it will give you a full description, including: "advances to Industrial era." Or, check the Civpedia. I'm sure it would tell you there.

    I really wish...

    Well, you can wish in one hand, and poo in the other, and see which one fills up faster. :p I NEVER use the globe view. Ever. :p No need for it, IMHO.

    Two questions regarding spies...

    I think there are really only a couple of options to limit your opponent's infiltrations... Park a spy (sleep) in every city, or at least in border cities or along major linking roads. Your spy's presence in your own territory should help thwart enemy spies. I don't know the math, but I...

    How do I adjust the default camera zoom setting?

    This was the answer I was looking for! Thank you! :) In my searching, I saw where people had tweaked GlobalDefines.xml for higher resolution monitors, etc., and I was pretty sure what I was after was in there. Just not sure where in there. Thank you again! And I will check out the BUG...

    AI unit upgrades

    Often, the AI civs will not upgrade, but will instead stockpile legacy units somewhere out of sight. I'm still not sure where the civs manage to hide their units, but I've seen them horde their older units and then use them for fodder for softening their enemies defenses when attacking. Who...

    How do I adjust the default camera zoom setting?

    Cool. So, what I'm looking for are "field of view" options, and not necessarily "camera zoom" options? I didn't know the best way to describe it. I'm just tired of doing a roll back of two to three mouse wheel clickies every time I reload a game. :P Thank you for the info about the mod. :)

    Navy Frustration

    By another sub, yes. By other units that can't travel through/under ice...no. Great hit and run hiding spot. I think you might be able to drill them with aircraft, but other persuing Destroyers/Battleships/Frigates can't get to them.

    How do I adjust the default camera zoom setting?

    Will the camera zoom setting adjusted this way persist through the loading of other games, and the launching of new games? I'll have to check it out. Thank you!

    Navy Frustration

    This is an important tactical detail for all naval activities. 1) Make sure that your naval movements put you on a coast for protection if you are making forward, aggressive actions. That extra 10% is worth it, even if it means delaying one turn to do so. 2) Lure your enemies away from the...

    How do I adjust the default camera zoom setting?

    Hello, Fanatics! [Mods, forgive me...I had also posted this Civ4 Technical Support section, but it didn't seem to be getting attention there. And there are posts here that reference tweaking the .xml files...] I did a quick search here, and a more exhaustive one via Google, and I could...

    How do I adjust the default camera zoom setting?

    Hello, Fanatics! :) I did a quick search here, and a more exhaustive one via Google, and I could not find any articles that describe which .xml file you can edit to adjust the default camera zoom. Every time I start a game, it begins zoomed almost all the way in (default per the...

    Buying a Home

    Understanding mortgages and all of the lender paperwork is a big time learning curve. Make sure to spend an adequate amount of time digesting all of the lender BS. Shop lenders, and shop them hard. Don't sign anything about locking in a rate until you are certain that you have the best lender...
