nevermind restarted my computer I can now click the run but nothing happens with civ but does work with warcraft

I opened the 3d analyzer select the civ4.exe and selected the TnL but I could not click the run. I was also unable to select run with warcraft 3

how do you use tommti?

Looking at the tech tree and knowing how important religion is unless you choose a country which starts with mysticism it seems that AI will always beat you to the early two. I suspect in most sp games players will end up getting the tech for jews or toaist

Damascus steel was only great thanks to a small nearby iron deposit naturally having a perfect mix of minor impurities.

Damascus steel was never casted. Steel could not be cast until modern times. Alexander never conquered Europe. He did not even fight in Europe except one or two battles. Making Bronze has nothing to do with the effectiveness of mining technology. The Qin Dynasty started over 100 years later...

my biggest problem with longer games is that the winner was basically decided so early. If more civs could stay competative late game in their own way I would play longer games

Europes mining and casting has always been the most advanced. Deep shaft mining was basically unheard of outside Europe that is why europe had way more metals then anyone else. Plus Europe seige guns were always the best thanks to a long bell making tradition. The turks hired europeans to make...

well the very first thing you do in the game is found a city of 10,000 people. If a "civ" has never even done that it should not be in the game.

I would hope for more naval units. There should be a war galley and a transport. I would also like to see two different pirvateers. I think an early seige weapon is a must. The treb pictured was like 9th century. That means no seige for the ancient time.

Anyone notice on the screenshot of the religious page there was a spot for an 8th religion except in the spot was just a zero with a line through it. Why do you think that is? Left open purposely for modding?

while "Science" was behind in Europe. (Science at the time simply meant writtings explaining natural phenomena which were almost always wrong) Europe was still advancing technological in by the 11-15th was way head in some feilds. Mainly Mining, Casting, Gunpowder corning and making, printing...

The Zulu were never a civ that was like having the Sioux. I'm even part Sioux but they just don't belong in a game like Civ. its like the people who want the native australians, A tribe is not a Civilization which builds mighty cities and great works.

I think Taoism and Confucianism should be one religion since they were found at the same time and are almost always practiced hand in hand. I would add the cult of Quetzalcoalt. It has a founding father, was practiced for thousands of years, spread to many different civs and has a holy city and...

Lived in Harmony with nature, HAHAHAHAHA, Almost every major Native American civ was destroyed because of extremely poor treatment of the enviroment.
