Is there a way to limit the eras in a game or scenario. I want to play a long game which does not reach the industrail era.
I got Civ4 and BTS (as two items) from Amazon for $35. There is no "Complete" package currently. [edit: Apparently there is in Portugal].
Yup, I've seen it once in one of mine LHC... Me, Hatty and HC had founded the first 6 religions, letting the biggest continent, where João, QSH and Roosevelt lived, religionless until QSH beelined for DR. Islam spreaded like bushfire, and as Astro was not out yet, the continent went majorly Islamic.Has anyone ever seen an (unmodded) largely Islamic world? I don't think I've ever seen more than one Muslim empire, and rarely do I see that. I can't think of a realistic scenario under which it'd be advantageous to convert my empire to Islam. An AI will, of course, convert if it founds the Muslim holy city and has no other holy city, but that is probably a poor strategic move.
Not only in Portugal. Give a look to Amazon.co.ukI got Civ4 and BTS (as two items) from Amazon for $35. There is no "Complete" package currently. [edit: Apparently there is in Portugal].
That still doesn't answer my question... I said I knew there was no Complete and I wanted to know how the expansion packs actually expand the game!! Are they separate games, and run like Colonization does??

You're still not answering my question.I want to know what's the point in buying an expansion pack and HOW DOES IT MAKE THE GAME DIFFERENT. Like I said, I bought Civ III as the Complete Edition so I don't know how expansion packs work. Can ANYBODY please help me before I get banned for spamming?!
if anything, you will be banned for your attitude, not for asking
The expansion packs require the base game in order to be installed and run; they are not stand-alone. Please note that you do not need Warlords (the 1st expansion pack) installed in order to install Beyond the Sword (the 2nd expansion pack); BtS includes all Warlords content and changes with the exception of the scenarios.You're still not answering my question.I want to know what's the point in buying an expansion pack and how it changes the game.

EDIT: lol stupid mistake. I just remembered that when you install Civ III Complete, you install with both the PTW and C3C discs. It combines the expansion packs with the regular Civ III. Is this true for Civ IV?
Contact Firaxis support. They will replace damaged discs for a fraction of the cost of buying the game over again.After 3 years's??? U have to be joking?
Oh fonix, I think i need a new game.![]()
Randomly popping a resource from a mined hill only happens if the mine is being worked, which means it's only possible if the mine is within a city's fat cross. Mining resource-free hills outside of your cities' fat crosses is a waste of Worker turns. If a late-game resource shows up on one of them, worry about it then.I have a question about mines.
Last night I was playing and realized that I had probably 50 mines around the map without any resources.
If you make a mine and it doesn't show anything, is it wise to build something else or leave them until you hit aluminum, uranium, etc.? And if so, at what point would you give up on the mine?
I just figured out last night that you can send a religious missionary to a city and consume him to add the religion.![]()

Mines are decent when they are in a cities BFC because the give a production boost. As long as it's being worked or soon will be worked, I don't "build over" mines. Otherwise it's basically pointless to build them as it's really hard to guess where a resource is going to pop up, but if you have them, don't waste turns getting rid of them unless there is a specific reason to do so.I have a question about mines.

{{{Copywriter}}} - OK, tacky cyberhugs, but what do you expect from a girl?!Sisiutil, Roland Johansen and CCRunner7,
THANKS!
Geez, I've been wasting all sorts of stuff. I just learned about the BFC yesterday.
Oh well, it's my first game, what do you expect?
Many of them are within the workable area, but I didn't know you had to actually work them (like cottages). I thought it was automatic. Guess I'll need to really think about what I can and can't work next time. Building them eons before I have the citizens to work them is a waste I see.
