Civilopedia - Hills

[civil_freak]

Has any version of Civ4 a Civilopedia entry for hills? I just wonder, because I cannot find anything on this board about that. No Civilopedia fix, and no MOD is including an entry either. So maybe, it's just my version?

Or is there any reason why hills cannot/should not be included?

Did I miss something, and there is a Civilopedia fix for that?

(By the way, sometimes hills on different terrain types confuse me... I wanted to look it up in the Civilopedia many times already. It's the first thing I look up after installing an update Just to check the quality, you know. I cannot believe that Firaxis could not fix that after many updates)

Are you sure that it isn't there? I've looked at the hills entry in the civilopedia many times. (at least I recall looking at it)

Where are you looking? Under base terrain? or the terrain features?

I may not recal correctly, but when you are looking at the terrain type, it gives the effects of hills.

The entry is neither in "base terrain" nor "terrain features".
The entry is neither in "Civ 4" nor "Civ 4 - Warlords".
The entry is neither in "English" nor "German" language Civilopedaia.

Hills are only explained on the huge poster included in the DVD case.

My Civ is fresh, updated/not updated and unmodded.

If you really have the entry... could you please post a screenshot? That's really strange.

Thanks...

sorry for being "impatient", but I think nobody is going to answer my question or help me solving this "problem".

However, could anyone confirm, that there is an entry for "hills" in your version of civilopedia?

I also don't have any entry for hills in Civilopedia, the must have forgotten to put that in Civilopedia, let's see if that changes in BtS...

I doubt it - the Civilopedia is massively out of date both in Vanilla and in Warlords. It contains a lot of factual mistakes about game mechanics that were like they are described in the Civilopedia in versions that were never released. I am convinced that they wrote the Civilopedia around the time of Alpha-testing and never went back to correct it...

I totally agree with you, and that's something I am angry about. In contrast to other games, Civ 4 is very organzied and well programmed. However, I hate the fact that they don't maintain instructions and manual well.

By the way, some scenarios of Warlords are almost unplayable in German. The translation sucks, and the scenario introduction of "Omen" revails totally wrong winning conditions. I hope that they are doing their homework, and Bts has good quality and is not for making quick money only.

Last point: Is there any project fixing the Civilopedia? I know that MODs can add entries of the Civilopedia, but what about the original entries?
