I don't think you can have a three way PA. But you might be able to both have a PA with the third person. I don't have a lot of experience with PA's so I'm not completely sure.

No, permanent alliances can only ever be signed between two players. You can never sign a third party into a permanent alliance after the original permanent alliance has been signed.

The only way to get more than two players in a 'permanent alliance' is to set them as teams from the very beginning of the game. There is no other way.
 
Hello again
My question:
Are you able to get rid of/sell city improvements as in the previous civs?
I built a drydock in one of my cities which halted its growth. Now i'm also about to build a factory but I don't want the city to starve!
 
Hi, I know you all are very busy guys, I do apologise for bothering, but I have some questions about customizing my games in Warlords MODS:
1) How to change the name of HATSHEPSUT to NEFERTITI or CLEOPATRA,? or Julius Cesar to Herodes, or Lucius Tarquinius Superbus , etc..
2)After all choices I make, is there any way the game keep the original name of the leader, instead of putting my own name?
(Example: YOUR DETAILS:
Leader Name: Rebakan
Civ Description: etc...
3) What do I need to change in order to use a custom .dds picture instead of the original CIV leader picture?Just change the picture, nothing else
(I think it is three places:
1) \Assets\Art\Interface\Buttons\Civilizations,
2) Assets\Art\Interface\Buttons\Leaderheads and
3)Assets\Art\Leaderheads,
but it's not working, my game crashes!)
Thanks a lot!

No. And they're called buildings, just like "Advances" are now technologies.
EDIT: Quick question: it is now impossible to deplete a resource like in civ3, right?

You don't need to apologise, that's what this thread is here for - so that questions can be answered. :)

1. You'll need to set up the game inside the "Custom Game" menu in Single Player, not the "Play Now!" option. Once inside the "Custom Game" menu, there will appear a list of players on the top half of the screen which you can select. At the far left of each player's information row, there is a little grey box which you can click, and doing so will allow you to change their name to whatever you wish.

2. Likewise, you can click on the little grey box to the left of your own column (player 1), and this will allow you to change your own name to whatever you want. You can also change your own name (but not the AI's) as the game progresses, by going to the game menu and clicking "Your Details", or alternatively by pressing Alt-D while in the game.

3. I don't know much about this sorry. Perhaps your question would be better asked in the Creation and Customization forum.

This sounds odd. Are you sure that the person you are playing with actually has any technologies ahead of you? If she does not, then obviously she will not be able to send you anything. However, if something else is the issue then I'm not sure what could be wrong. A screenshot, or better a savegame file might help us to determine what's wrong. :)
 
How many turns shall pass between the completion of the UN and the first secretary general election? I thought it was 2, and then 4 more turns for the diplomatic victory.
Oddly enough, in a game I'm playing it took 4 turns to the SG vote, then 4 more to diplo victory vote. A glitch?
 
How can I play with only two civs? Even if I go to a custom game, I can't get it, only twelve, why?

In this thread: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=1 34903 (CIV Newbie questions) says:
"Instead of "Play Now!" go to "Custom Game" and then if you want to reduce the number of AIs, open the drop-down menu at the left and "close" or if you want to increase it do the opposite"
I can't do it, don't know why.

Thanks in advance.
 
So I can't play two civs with Terra, huge map? I need this map with only two civs, to erase the civs and other things, save the customzed map, for other games.

A technical question:

Sometimes in the late game I get an error that reads something like this: 'Not enough Virtual Memory'. Then the game crashes. It happenes when I play on huge worlds such as the Earth map with like 18 other civs

I'm running Warlords with the Total Realism MOD. But it has also happened to me when using vanilla civ during later stages of the game with like 18 other civs. By the later stages of the game many of them have been wiped out but the remaining civs have built up tons of units, myself included. In my current game I launched a huge armanda at the new world. But I get this annoying virtual memory message and a crash. I did raise my virtual memory at one point a while ago.
But what is the best setting to avoid this?
Has anyone else ran into this?
Is just raising the virtual memory the best thing to do?

I have a DELL with windows XP, 2 gigs RAM, 100 GB hard drive space(37 Gigs available), 2 ghz processor, NVIDIA GeForce GO 7800 GTX.

In the virtual Memory menu: (what does all this mean?)
Page filing size:
Initial Size is 2046
Maximum size is 4092
Total Page filing for all drives:
Minimum 2 MB
Recommended 3070 MB
Currently Allocated 2046 MB

There are other visual settings to I can click on and off or click 'optimize for best performance', or have windows manage the settings, but I leave it as is.

I will try to change my page filing size to 3500. Will that even help? What does that even do?

Thanks,
Ben E Gas

What does everyone else have their virtual memory set at? Just curious to see what the norm is.
