Liberating cities give you a bonus to stability if you've got more than 20 cities, I think.

 

[Elenhil]

As Egypt, I've less than 20, obviously. Though according to the guide the threshold is 15 cities. Anyway, it does not mention that liberating on conquer or through trade makes a difference. Perhaps there is a third option with no negative stability, then?

A question to Rhye: What is the best way to update a mod to 3.19. I am actually modding the thing and I will have to figure out the new .cpp and .h files and how they interface with the rest and so on. Do you know of a better way or perhaps a reference on the new files and new .h interfaces and where all the code/changes go.

A few weeks ago was going ontothe civ fanatics home page when the advertisement page for civsfanatics appears which it sometimes does. Then my anti virus stated three Trojans had gotten on to my computer while the advertisement was loading. A few weeks prior I downloaded an update for rfce which when loaded caused the computer to crash
My question is can I trust civfanatics and log onto it safely? Are downloads from civfanatics safe in general? Are the sites used to download rfce updates safe?
I understand no one will garantee saftey on this site but I would like to know what I put at risk logging onto and downloading from this site.
I also know this is likely an incorrect place for such a question but don't know where else to ask.

CFC is generally safe, but one of the ads submitted to the company and displayed on this site was malicious a while ago (I think it happened a couple of times). RFC should be fine.

 

[3Miro]

RFC is an official mod and Rhye and Firaxis will not put anything bad in it.

 

[sk8er AG]

Thank you for the Informing that cfc is safe, however, is there a chance that that advertisement or any advertisement containing a virus would be used again?

 

[deanej]

I don't think you can ever say never, but its been a long time since then without incident. To be honest, I hardly think about it now. If you're really concerned, you might want to check out a program called Sandboxie or get an ad blocker.

Question another time:
Have updated to 3.19 patch. will I still be able to play rfc (of course not old saved games), but will the game still be as updated as it was before. ex. Naming of cities, Carthage settling Spain, Arabia looking to conquer north Africa?

Get yourself an anti-virus-programm, use Firefox or any other browser that has adblock-plugins

If you have an antivirus and it found those trojans how did they get onto your computer ? You don't have guarantees from websites, you have them from your protection software.

Does anybody know how to get the mod mod Decipher me now or I will devour you, the one that replaces the stonghenge with the Sphinx, because I've tried a billion methods each time it fails and crashes

Smiley face on the crash?

It should be the same way you would make it any other way... Just put it into ur RFC folder....

(Back up ur folder first)

 

[Cosmos1985]

Im playing as the Mayas atm, can anybody tell me exactly which areas will be in the Aztec, and later the American, "flip-zone"? Thanks in advance.

There are several versions of the atlas; the right one for you depends on your version of RFC.

 

[BurnEmDown]

Remember than accepting cities to the flip will cause you to lose the UHV.

 

[AnotherPacifist]

I thought never lose a city only means never lose a city militarily. This is the same for the Russians and Japanese.

 

[BurnEmDown]

Well I've never lost the UHV due to city flip since I never accepted it, but I did read so in the Maya UHV guide in Rhye's wiki.

[The Turk]

Thats what I did but it crashed the game, but I'll try again maybe I made a bit of a mistake
