Did you build cottages earlier in the game? Unfortunatly it is proably a bit late now, but I found with china you can have a lot of towns running fairly quickly.
 
Hi.
I am usually an active "lurker" on these forums. Normally I can find the answers I need by reading old or current topics. However this has become an extremely long thread and it would take me all day to read it through.

I am curious, Rhye, how did you manage to change the names on the scoreboard (and gameinfo messages as well) from the Leader Names to the short description of the civilizations (i.e. Augustus Caesar = Rome)? I can't seem to find it anywhere in the .XML-files.

Furthermore I have tried to change the "Toynbee has completed his greates works!" board to old-style (Civ1) to display the civilization name instead of the leader name.
Replacing %s1_leader with %s1_CivShortDesc or %s1_CivName doesn't appear to work.

Does anybody know how to do this?
 
As Arabia 600AD where can you get 3rd holy city, Rome and the city in India(sorry not good w/ names) are both indepedent and cant invade
 
why can't you invade independants? If you move troops into their land you should declare war with them.

I agree completely, other civs can and do. I think it you should be able to invade indepentdents and just make them more powerful defensively(Archers or longbowmen). with arabia it seems you have to start as an ancient civ and switch, otherwise you cant have 3 holy cities
 
As everyone else has said, you can invade the indapendants. You cannot use "go to" (Cntl-G) to enter their land, you have to move next to their borders and use the number pad to move you 1st unit into their teritory.
 
o lol i lost a lot of games because i didnt kno that. thanx samson and blizzrd
 
no i was to thts why i couldnt figure why i couldnt invade independent
 
Everyone keeps saying about the numpad for moving troops in to declar war. Am I really the only one that declares war with the mouse?

i do it that way. i right click and it usually works just fine

You should come back in some time, Rhye is in holidays right now :)
 
my question still hasn't been answered. so i'll ask again.

it pertains to my Habitable Greenland Mini-Mod.

in the previous patch, the map had my Greenland settlements at X=59 and X=61
however in this patch it seems as though those figures are much farther to the east, as the same locations are marked as X=41 (that was the first one i planned to work on and never got around to the other one). so does the latest RFC patch have a smaller world than previously? or is it just shifted westward?

The map has been unchanged for a very long time, you must have made a mistake.

hmm... its possible. i'll take a look at it again.
but where would you think i could have made the mistake?
 
Can anyone try to save my collapsing empire? I've tried everything from exporting goods (+stability) to gifting cities (--stability :( ), and nothing seems to help much. Can it be saved, or is it too late?

Ethiopia has some of the same issues as Egypt in terms of stability into the late game. Personally, when I've managed to get through to the UHV final condition date with Ethiopia, I've been somewhat less than stable for a good while.

I can't load your save to check yet, but definitely liberate any cities you might have within the Egyptian spawn area, or otherwise outside of sub-saharan Africa.
