    Mike C, Fair post - Some clarification regarding the spearmen vs. Tank. What I mean by not having much sympathy is that as an attacker/defender you should have a rough understanding of how often you are going to win/loose based off of the equations stated by Firaxis. Now this is not...

    whine, complain, whine

    And this is certainly a fair statement. What I do get sick of both here and at Apolyton is the too vocal minority that states "XYZ is broken" without any substantial proof and/or justification. The corruption being the most prevelent example I also do not have sympathy for the spearman vs...

    Weird error

    I have been registered Apolyton for over 2 years, so I have not had a problem :). Yea, there appears to be some issue as to how Civ 3 makes Direct X 8 calls and how our video cards support them. - BTW I also hate that excuse - "my computer is too old, or my graphics card is incompatible with...

    Weird error

    Like Red October, I have installed and reinstalled Directx 8.X Further I have attempted to run both older and newer ATI drivers to no avail. The error really appears to me to be some issue with calls to Direct X - the Unable to Allocate Draw Buffer to me indicates this. Based off of the...

    Weird error

    I too am getting this error. I suspect that is related to some Direct X compatability thing. Further sympoms include: I am running into 2 (possibly related) issues. First and foremost Machine Config Win 98 Pentium III 933 with 512 Meg RAM Radeon AGB Card with 64MB of SDR RAM...
