I had this game previously installed and working fine, underwent and update and then the game stop playing. I tried to reinstall and now disk 2 says it cannot be read. I've uninstalled Nero in the hopes perhaps it was a simple blacklist issue for burning software, but it appears not to be the...

Playing in open play as the soviets in the Europe 1936 scenario. I have a lot going, already nailed Germany before the end of 1939. Attempting to upgrade to industry level 4 from 3 and the game drops to a black screen with the world turning mouse icon and music only, then finally crashes to...

It'd be interesting to get a method for the AI to plausibly identify the owners of HN units with a little work. That way they know who sent the 101 spiders after them and could react appropriately, talk about requiring a lot of additional ai programming though.

Republic is particularly appropriate for vampires if they've bitten or their spawn have bitten the current populace. Don't masters exert a certain level of control over their converts in that structure? So he goes, "Vote for me" and they go "yes master?". So whoever's bitten the most wins the...

He looks like a mean beast.. *Grins* I like. Is there any way to get control of him? That'd be entertaining. And I think updating is a necessity. To much beauty in that to let it be squandered.

Raging barbarians are great.. what you do is find the one forest tile next to their lairs/cities..w hat have you and stick your warrior or whatever there and fortify it and let it exp grind til it's like level z.. then use it to crush them all and your enemies.

Don't know if any of you have tried this, but capture a spider bring it back to a city to heal, go out and attack something with it.. make sure it gets the final hit.. bring the baby back to the city and keep it there til the baby spider matures. Take it out, make sure it gets the last hit again...

How about straight desert for desert? Then if you get hit by it you can fix it :-P

You forget the concept of convert by magical conversion... (using purge the unfaithful option). It doesn't kill the population obviously otherwise the cities would fall in population so there must be some other mechanic at work besides ruthless genocide.. Something more along the line of a...

Is the dll included in the patchk download? I don't see how the game could operate without it.

Oooh.. new werewolf strategy: Ticking time bomb. In peaceful cities of civs you do not care for, just sit your Werewolves in storage in their towns and wait :-P

What would I envision a tower of mastery as doing? Hrmm... 1. +1 all mana types with associated civ effects... 2. +1 all spell damages and summoning durations. 3. Generates 1 "Eye of God" event spell if one is not already present in world, usable upon any city. It basically would be the magic...

Good things come to those who wait. Lettem get.025 working properly then they can knock out shadow.

More dragons please? :-P Maybe include a flying citadel or flying sail barge or two? Just some ideas to play with.

Ah if I'd only known that little bit of included code in the GC files.. the headache it would have saved, nice little feature though, I'll keep that tip in mind and attempt it the next time I try placing units. After reviewing it on the site I found that lists a dictionary of python classes it...
