Frequently Asked Questions

While you are there, I reccomend that in the next to last Option Box, you select "-- Black CFC"

That one is in the last section. "forum skin".
 
All I can think of is to load up the site using IE, log in and see if the checkboxes appear. But overall I think that it is a setting in your Firefox that is causing things to go a bit wonky. Or maybe your internet temporary folder is full? Should clear itself out to make room for the new automatically though... but to see some Avatar and not others.... Yeah, this one is a bit odd.
 
Speaking of Arcane units, do Mages and Archmages gain EPs any faster than Adepts? That is, does it help to upgrade?

Yes, it is better to upgrade apas. The XP gain rate is based on promotions. There were some kind of table with % chance of gaining XP with channelling I, II and III. Also combinations with the promotion with lowers the units strength for a bigger chance of gaining XP, arcane trait. Now were was that table?


Edit: Found it :)

XP gain
To translate for those who don't read code:
The chance of gaining an XP is as follows (based on promotions):
Channeling I: 25% - 1%/XP possessed (minimum 1%)
Arcane Chanelling I: 30% - 1%/XP possessed (minimum 1%)
Channeling II: 35% - 1%/(2 XP) possessed (minimum 2%)
Arcane Chanelling II: 45% - 1%/(2 XP) possessed (minimum 2%)
Channeling III: 40% - 1%/(3 XP) possessed (minimum 3%)
Arcane Chanelling III: 55% - 1%/(3 XP) possessed (minimum 3%)

Unholy Taint adds 10% to the above chances.

Well, you were right...it is a problem with Firefox.

I used IE explorer and got to the Forum that I remembered.

However, IE has been buggy for me since I upgraded to the new version. I always use Firefox now.

I've searched Options and every menu in Firefox and I can't figure out what is doing this.

Any ideas?

I really appreciate your suggestions and those of others too!
 
Have you tried logging in from a different computer? If the error occurs then it is a problem of your account settings, if not then something local with your browser. Maybe a cokey is corrupt?

Also try to uncheck those check boxes, save and then check them again.

If you want to change the skin of the forum it is displayed always for me at the bottom of the forum on each page.

BTW, I use FF and had never problems with this forum.
 
Tools->Clear private data : Try cache, if that doesn't work, clear cookies.

Other possibilities, you may have installed an "add-on" that is messing things up, or you use the Adblock plug-in and accidentally "blocked" stuff you don't want.

If so, Tools->Adblock Plus... and scan for filters set for forums.civfanatics.com. Or any wildcards things like */image.php*, which I think would filter avatars
 
OK, it was the forum SKIN at the bottom of the page as mentioned by Niilo and, actually, Chip earlier (I just couldn't find it as I thought it was buried in My Account).

For some reason, it had gone to Modern CFC. Have a look at that and see if you don't agree that it is hard to read.

Anyway, I am back to a much more readable forum.

My thanks to all for your kind assistance. :)
 
[Sorry, this must have been asked/discussed before, but I've made some search around and found nothing...]

Why did the "Glance" overview disappeared ? I liked this option, found it very synthetic and useful...
 
What is the glance overview?

Sorry, I meant the Glance option, under Foreign Advisor...
This :

It's probably been asked before...though this thread is rather long now :)

With the moving through enemy ancient forest treant spawn chance, is it a one tine chance or per unit? I.e. Does a stack of 12 units have the same chance, to cause a spawn, as a single unit?

And yes... I miss the glance function of the foreign advisor screen. I've always assumed it was tied to the espionage function, which hasn't ben activated yet.

The chance only occurs when you move into an empty ancient forest. So only the first unit moving into it has a chance to spawn the treant.
 
Mor eimportant than moving in stacks, it reveals that if you were to leave a trail of units in each ancient forest you would NEVER spawn a treant, because you wouldn't ever again move into an unoccupied Ancient Forest.
 
Ok, thank you Nikis-Knight for your explaination.
Too bad it's been removed, I personnally found this feature very useful during my games ; well...
 
Quick question about Sidars: Can I "shade" a hero too? (like Gilden Silveric)

yes... as long as he's lvl 6. Good tactic to do with religous heroes just before a change of religion. Though how, as Sidar, you get Gilden I don't know. :)
