Hi folks,
I'm loving Civ4 v1.52, but have a bunch of minor questions/issues. If you can help, that's great... otherwise, the game still works fine, and game play is great!
1) Re: QuickStart - can anyone tell me just how this works? And save me from a bunch of reloads to test it...
Specifically, I am looking for the following functionality... can you tell me if Quickstart will do it?...
I always play single-player. Sometimes I use QuickSave, sometimes not, and I also have AutoSave=1 and the game crashes every so often. Not enough to be annoying, but it does happen. Anyway, it'd be nice if the game had an option to "Start playing the most-recent saved game, no matter what/where found (QuickSave, manual save, Autosave)".
This is a minor issue because what I've actually done is to save a Windows Explore (ok, PowerDeskPro FileFinder) link on my desktop, which opens onto a listing of all files under the Single savegame subdirectory(s) sorted by time, where it's easy to see and double-click on the latest one. But if QuickStart (or something else) will do that, that's great.
2) Related to this... anybody know what the following entry is in the .ini file:
3) Related to THAT, is there any nice compendium of "everything known" about the .ini file, plus any other command line options, in-game hotkey list, etc.? Besides searching through all the messages on this forum, I mean.
4) Is there a way to always have the Gridlines toggled On? I always want them on, but always have to turn them on with each session.
5) Is there a way to find idle workers, settlers, and/or missionaries? I see in the Hints, a keystroke for active ones. But not idle ones.
6) In my Civ4 directory, I see a ReadMe.htm - but it says it's for "v109, Last updated 23 - November - 2005". However, I have the 1.52 patch. Is there a ReadMe for 1.52?
Thanks if you can help with any of these. They're all minor items but they'd be helpful to get sorted out!

; Move along
CheatCode = 0
It sounds like it might be relevant... or might not.CheatCode = 0
