this sounds promising. I tend to play DTesh and/or Scions and maybe it's the civ, but it seems like I always hear the same song which I've dubbed, "Dingleberry Downers"... ;) cuz that's what one of the lines sounds like. It's the one that's kinda sparse with a male's low voice singing things...

greetings. I understand that 1.3 is being tested before you release it, but um... any chance we can get like a beta or something? I read that you're thinking it'll be released in a couple days, but frankly, with you-know-what being released tomorrow... after tomorrow, rife will be off my radar...

howdy. just thought I'd poke my head in and see what's been happening with my favorite mod. glad to see things are still very much alive and progressing. I'm getting excited about 1.3! Kudos on carrying the torch on this one. Looking forward to... everything!

this may be the weirdest thing i've seen yet. in my current game, i have a bunch of units at a fort attacking the other team on the adjacent tile. but here's what happens: about 90% of time: upon ordering a unit to attack, it runs in another direction. it actually runs off the map! about 10...

Ah, right you are! I unchecked that option and the graphics returned to normal. It's strange that the option to freeze animations does things other than freezing animations. That is, the animations remained even with it checked.

Oh, and i keep forgetting to mention this. sometimes units stop earning XP at all regardless of how much battle they do. a unit might have only a small amount of XP, (2.50) or something and they simply cannot advance. it's often many units that are in the same boat when this happens, (it's never...

running a Duel size map with D'tesh. Started the game with "high" graphics settings. was getting several crashes around turns 150-170, so i tried to reduce the graphics settings to "low". a strange thing happened. all, (or nearly all) of the unit art changed. champions turned into swordsmen...

i see. so does the fear check run against the entire defending stack? kind of like collateral fear damage? i can see how it's a good thing, but i'd think it would have diminishing returns for a larger stack. to the point where a huge stack would be nearly un-fear-able. logic being that a...

so um, this was an issue for me in vanilla civ, but has anyone ever figured a way around this? when you're beginning a game and choosing your civ, you have to choose a leader before you can choose your civilization. i always wished the process were reversed. just makes sense to me. i dunno...

giant crabs?! gimmee! ><

i was looking at the whale (blue whale) art in-game last night. There are a couple variations I've seen. One swims in a circle, round and round. The other loops around in and out of the water. I would think that one could appropriate that whale art (the one that loops in and out of water) and...

hi there. i have an observation about the agnostic civs. I haven't played all of them yet, but i notice that some have various religions grayed out, (or redded-out) on the tech tree. And that makes sense to me. They shouldn't be able to research those techs and/or build the corresponding units...

i find enemy civs are dying fast to barbarians and animals. too fast. I like a game to last longer than 100 turns, so i usually have to boost my enemies in WorldBuilder. i give them bonuses and then give them walls and a few archers. Anything less and enemy civs die before the game gets going...

Hmm... not sure if this is the place to post this, but I played as the Frost last night and noticed a few bugs: Researching the White Hand religion. after researching it, it get's stuck and continues to research it again after it's already been researched. it doesn't progress the second time...

yeah... i used to do that too, just shelve CTD saves... but it happens so often that i really really want to figure out the problem... i don't think i've yet played a legitimate game. i've just been testing, setting up sandbox situations with pleanty of bonuses and good terrain simply to get the...
