I should have been more careful about using the word "obsolete." I meant it in a practical sense, not a technical sense--in the sense that they...
I hope you find the guide useful! Turn 103 is unusually early for the Great Library to be built, but I'm not shocked. I would add one suggestion...
For the record, here is what my Civ IV screen was looking like:...
As I said in my query, I did change the resolution, and it made no difference to the buttons. Looking around the internet, particularly on Steam,...
So everyone's playing with this issue? Okay, then! Misery loves company! Thanks for the fast reply. It was the last thing on my checklist for...
Thanks! Next question: Is there some way to make the game menus and buttons (the advisor buttons, etc.) bigger? At the moment, the menus are the...
Quick technical query: Is there a patch that has to be applied to the versions of Civ IV or BTS that are downloaded from Steam? I have a vague...
Printing by Turn 225 ... That is pretty remarkable. I have to wonder if there was a bug in the game somewhere. If that were my game and I had the...

I'll have to check on the timing of Printing, but a Turn 225 discovery somewhere sounds ... early to me. Yikes about the Mongols--yeah, they will...

Vanilla Civ IV has a feature called "Permanent Alliance" that I believe is similar to the way that DoC's defensive alliances work. If I understand...
So, to recap: 1. JDPEIGrillo described a game where defensive alliances caused a rash of war declarations, and he said this seemed unrealistic....
Okay, explain to me how your rules for DoC defensive alliances would handle the following situations: 1. Germany has a defensive alliance with...
I know you're being sarcastic, but that's exactly what the rules say, if you're talking about the rules that govern defensive alliances. It's the...
But only one defensive pact was legally invoked in WWI, and that was the British guarantee of Belgian neutrality. * There was no defensive...
Defensive Alliance thing: Really? If you want that behavior, you should change the nomenclature, because that's not a defensive alliance. I...
I don't go near the internet using my XP installation; it's not even set up to connect. I launch Civ IV/DoC, and that's all when I'm over there....
150% agree. I know so much more about Civ IV overall because of playing the DoC and tackling its various UHVs. Not that I play Vanilla or BTS Civ...
