    Civ4 Beyond the Sword Patch v3.17 is out

    Very fast download here. Then again, I'm about 10 minutes away from Firaxis HQ. :)

    Civ4 BTS Patch v3.13 is up

    I don't think so. The sliders are universal. You must use specialists to specialize a city.

    Qin Shi Huang/Kublai K. switch

    I don't quite like the winding up a punch animation on the BtS Qin. But the actual appearances of both I like now in BtS. I'm not sure why people think Qin would be more wimpy or not warlike. Look the guy up. :D

    Impact on system performance

    Do you have a 64-bit OS to support that 4GB of RAM? If not, try taking some out until you're down to 2-3GB. The 8500 GT isn't a hugely powerful graphics card, however I'm not sure what kind of impact late-game Civ has on a graphics card. Still, if you got a new high resolution display with your...
