First post in FFH forums, although have been playing it for about a year...hopefully I can help get rid of the question mark beside the sidar bonuses in the known bug list. :) In the likely event you don't feel like reading my excessive verbage, skip to the conclusion. That's the good bit...

I am playing on this map as china, and managed to build the great wall. I thought this was pretty cool, seeing as the great wall is 'the only man(sic)-made object visible from space' (or, at least is was when i was in high school) So the position is a bit off...:D If you can't find...

a quick solution to not being able to change specialists is to use F1. In the city list, you can now change the specialists. Great map, by the way!

You're not crazy...i saw the exact same thing in my current game. (Almost the same game too: fractal map, standard settings). Maybe i haven't been paying attention, but i thought it was a little strange myself. Although i have noticed that flood plains seem fragile. ie. if you raze a city...

That's a lot of pages of people... Well, good luck to everyone, but better luck to me!

Great thread, and i'm thankful for the fantastic analysis by the OP and others. I've usually grown to size 2 before producing my first worker. On the basis of this thread, i'm believe i am going to try the worker first on my next game. :goodjob:

DA is quite right: always peace is forced. (except barbs, i would figure. haven't tried it yet) always peace means everyone is always at war with everyone else.

I'm planning to plan something...probably a start for next weekend. Probably 2 games, actually: Always peace (Gandhi as leader) Tkid2 Always War (Genghis as leader) Tkid3 Both similar maps, standard continents, prince level. Any of you guys are more than welcome for either or both...

Nifty concept. if my life wasn't on hold because of other commitments, i would join in a moment. i'll keep my eye on it, though.

I think the original point is being missed slightly: i agree that civ4 is a fantastic, wildly addictive game. my girlfriend has forgotten what i look like. However, Xiphias, you have extremely high expections, which is not bad at all. A game that would capture the entire course of human...

Same as me Thrar. i think it was the patch. check the readme, i think there's something about like 'adjusting final score for difficulty level'. i very well couldn't claim the title 'back-patter and motivator extraordinaire' if i couldn't remember all those neat little things, could i?

Nice work! that will definitly top my Hall of Fame! My 1st conquest victory too, and also my first Monarch win. If any of you guys see a SG that i started, i will always make room for you. It was definitly an great team effort. Awards: Tkid: Back-patter and motivator extraordinaire Panth...

Preflight Well, Thrar covered the situation rather nicely. A bit of MM: 3 cities at health or happy limits, so switch to production. WW starting to factor in (Madrid is -3 happiness because of the war). Good thing i don't plan on letting it last long. 1. 1505AD Alemanni: Conquistador->...

Ack! Sorry for the unreasonable delay...at least it's not quite 48 hours yet.

Sorry for the delay folks. things are quite busy. i should however, be relaxing in about 6 hours from this post, with a 'beverage', wiping out the persians.
