Well, one report said a patch was coming this week, and it's Friday. Do you think it will get here by tomorrow?

sign me up, hopefully i'll win.

I've changed those victory conditions and the AI doesn't act much differently than they did before.

To give another example of how defense bonuses might be too powerful is when my modern infantry and cavalry were losing when they attacked macemen which were on forested hills. To me that makes those defense bonuses way too strong.

I was playing a game, and I waged war against the Spanish, mainly because I hate Isabella so much. Anyway, I got her down to just one city, and it was impossible for me to take it. By this point I had a huge tech lead, and was attempting to take the city with only modern infantry and whatever...

I also have 512MB RAM, and, to tell you the truth, we're screwed. The people on this forum with 1 or more GB RAM have no trouble telling you to go out and fork over some money just because the game listed some shady recommended specs. There was no warning that if you meet the recommended specs...

Do you guys think that CivIV has ushered in the death of 2D strategy games?

Actually the founding fathers were killing civilians, as well as political people. If you want evidence of the violence caused by the Patriots, look at the reports of governor Hutchinson. They routinely harassed and even killed loyalists.

What is really sad is to think that Sirian can run his game well on his machine, while mine meets all the recommended specs and the game becomes absolutely unplayable in the late game. Hopefully the fact that better machines seem to be having slowdown issues (even machines as good as 3.5GB...

One reason I'm concerned is because CivIV doesn't run as well as CivIII did under the recommended requirements. At the time CivIII came out I had a computer that met the recommended reqs, and I was able to play the biggest map with the most civs just fine, with only slight slowdown in the late...

Please do not use wikipedia as an authoritative source. That's just ridiculous.

It's very possible that a memory leak is the cause of the slowness. Many people have observed that. And if that's not the case, I'll be pretty mad that the developers didn't warn us ahead of time that the biggest maps would require so much RAM.

The fact is that people with 3.5 gigs are having problems with slowdown. That shows something other than boosting RAM is needed to fix this.
