Yes and no. 2 022 is the latest base-version. The up to date patch should be "h". You'll get a link this one on the first page of this thread, too. So all together it will be 2 022h, but you wont get the "h" displayed in the Main Screen.

Not sure where to put...
Here is a theme proposed for Runes soundtrack:http://forums.civfanatics.com/uploads/116583/time.zip I think it is in good correlation with what is already there. "Time, forward!" by George Sviridov.

Hi!
Although i´m new to this Forum i´m playing FFH II since Light (.15c or somminlikethat), it is obvious that tihs mod is the far better game then the OV!!!
I Have a quastion about the Lich idea in the game:
I understand it the way that you need lvl three death-promotion on your Archmage to transform him into a Lich. Since i was allied with a few "good" Civs in my last game with the Amurites I faltered to use deathmana cuz of the diplo-malus... but the temptation was tooo big! I had many of my Wizzards ready for upgrade to AM but as i tried to transform the fourth AM into a Lich, i saw the button was "shadowed" (dont know how U say that in english
) and i cant upgrade! Is it intended that you can controll only three Liches? I browesed the pedia back and forth but could not found anything concerning the problem. I knew that you can´t own more than three AM but does the same rule aplies to Liches?
Anyway i was able to fullfill my wicked plans with 3 Liches, 3 AM and Govannon (also a t3 caster). It hurts slightly if a city´s defencebonus is reduced to zero with my "puny Combat-four-fireball-Wizzards" and than got strucked by a maelstrom and 18 combat-five meteors in a single turn
btw: why does my firebals/meteors did´t get the +1 bonus from the Tower of Elements??? Intended?
Sry 4 my english, not my first language...

Fireballs and meteors are not real summons, they are attack spells.

Ever since downloading 0.22, I've been unable to load the mod. Vanilla Civ and other mods work fine, but whenever I try to launch FFH through either the shortcut or from inside the game or open a saved game directly, I get told:
"Initialize Renderer failed. Check DirectX Installation, Latest Graphics Drivers and Graphics Settings Parameters:
- width = 1024
- height = 768
- flags = 0xc
- hwnd = 0x1506f4
- adaptrid = 0
- deviceid = 1
I've tried rebooting, reinstalling and repatching Civ, re-downloading DirectX etc, and the game still won't load up. I've been using the mod since 0.14, and it's only been this version that's had any problems. As I said above Vanilla and other mods still boot up perfectly. I'm not really expecting help, and was just going to wait to see if 0.23 would fix it, but I figure I've nothing to lose by trying

Are you using Vista by any chance?

yeah... vista wouldnt have any problems... it has to be teh drivers... he shoudl try and update them... if that doesnt work then try reinstalling directX... if that doesnt work then check your graphics card or ram... cause if its vista than that means that it uses more processing power to run them...
i personally hate vista... its a waste.... it uses up more resources than it should... lol

Nope, running on XP. And I've tried updating my drivers (most recent) and re-downloading DirectX. Still no dice. I just don't understand why any graphical problem would affect this mod in isolation. Ah well.

For the third time today got a weird Crash in the game. All my improvements go, some of the buttons turn yellow and big black shapes come across the screen. Game does not work after this, but seems ok when re-loaded. This has only happened to me since the last patch

Weird, sounds like you video card is running out of texture memory. Get a screenshot and I'll check it out.
Just a guess, but it could be a resolution problem... are you using a non-standard resolution, either in-game or on your desktop? Even if not, try playing with those settings. I recall that Oblivion popped up a similar error, and that was the problem.

good call... i remember that too... it could be either the desktop screen resolution or your settings in civ... i didnt think that anybody else had that problem with oblivion...

Nope, both using 1024x768. Just tried changing both to 800x600 and 1280x1024, but no luck there either.

What version of XP are you using? it could be a problem that was already fixed... if its up to date then i suggest reinstalling and updating your graphics drivers... its not FFH... it works for everyone else... also... just an idea... it could be a run-time error... try defragging...

Again about Animals and the early wilderness...
Having noticed lots of wolves, and sometimes lions and bears - tigers, panthers and gorillas seem to be very rare. Spders dont really apply here, 'cos as soon as you have one, you can breed them by hunting lions and wolves (and your opponents of course).
How about decreasing the Wolf breeding rate and therefor increase (or add, 'cos I've never seen gorillas in late game) a chance to spawn tigers, panthers and gorillas.
Another thing: In earliest game stages, the animals are the smallest problem - they just hinder exploration. But real pains are the Skeletons and even more the lizardmen - they come into your borders, and 'cos they've got Strength 3 you need at least two warriors to repell them. And if they dont attack, they destoy your improvements, and that really gets on my nerves!
