Start Up Help

[Mace the Ace]

Thanks in advance for your help.

1. Is there a command that I can enter into my command line that will allow me to by-pass the ads? As for the "ads" I mean the intro trademarks or anything else that delays the start-up of the game. When I play Battlefield 1942 I added "+restart 1" command, and that by-passes all the ads, movies, etc. and brings you to the start of the game menu.
Someone else suggested "PlayIntro=0", but this doesn't seem to work.

2. Is here a way to mass select worker units and have them all: Build roads, irrigation, etc. What I mean is: We all know you can give a single worker a command but what I want is too select 20 of them and give the command only once.

3. I having trouble with control-N (Networking) It's suppose to make your workers build a road connecting all of your cities. In my game, they just go to the nearest city without building the road.

And I have the lastest patch/upgrade.

1. It's only a simple movie at the start up. Just press the spacebar.

2. No.

3. All that button does is tell the worker to go and connect resources to your cities.

I added playintro=0 and it works for me, you should try again. If you want the game to play in your desktop resolution then also add Keepres=1.

For #2, they're working on "Worker Gangs", which will allow you to group workers to do the same task. So, you could have several irragation teams, and several mining teams. Those would be great for those 48 non-industrious foriegn workers you have mining and roading a single mountain or clearing a single jungle tile.

About the 'worker gangs', is this in Civ4, or in the patch?

I'd like to test "PlayIntro=0", however I'm unsure how and where I add it. Which file do you edit, and in what way?

 

[LordKestrel]

You add it to the conquests.ini file (ptw.ini for PTW).

Thanks. I added it and it worked.
