If you are talking about the actual game saves, do like Gwynnja says. OTOH, if you are talking about the games that show up in the Hall of Fame, look in the subfolder Replays instead of Saves. Each file there is one of the games in your HOF. They all have rather unenlightening names like Replay.23 for example. So, you have to figure out which is which by trial and error. Move one off to the desktop and then check the HOF to see which one is gone. If you want to keep that one, move it back into Replays. If it is one of the ones you want to get rid of, drop it in the trash. Repeat as needed.

I've always done it manually as outlined above. However, I would have thought the game designers would have made it a lot easier to rid yourself of old games by the click of a button.

I agree^^^. Up to now, I thought I was the only person bothered by that.

+1.

It should be a lot simpler than it is. Not that it's hard, just kind of annoying.

Monasteries of course become obsolete with Scientific Method. So my question is this: Do existing Missionaries become obsolete too? Or can they still spread religion after Scientific Method has been discovered?

Obsolete buildings (and Wonders) cease to give their proper benefits other than the cultural bonus and the Great People points. Unless you're running Organized Religion, existing monasteries are the only way to build Missionaries in your cities, and that particular function still works even after SM. So build all the ones you need before that.

Exising missionaries can still be used. And relegion can continue to be spread after Scientific Method is discovered. Organized relegion civic allows one to build missionaries after Scientific Method in all cities and Monasteries can still produce missionaries after Scientific Method.

Edit: you have to build the monasteries before you research Scientific Method.

What file path do I take to enable the flying camera?

 

[r_rolo1]

Documents/My Games/(civ version you want to enable flying camera on)/CivilizationIV.ini

Open with notepad and search for

AllowFlying = 0

Change 0 to 1

In game : Ctrl-Alt-F to enable , same to disable

Does wiping out an opponent add to your total score? I don't mean from captured cites, I mean the actual act of making another CIV extinct.

No, not directly. However, it could indirectly help your score in several ways. No more culture pressure so you have more land area, you don't have the unhappiness from wanting to rejoing the motherland (no motherland). Fewer votes against you in AP or UN.

Poor poor Elizabeth. Now I'm NOT going to sail half way around the globe just to destroy Tokugawa's last city. I'm going to gut her homeland instead.

You've sealed her doom you know.
