The "Thanks for / I cannot acquire" 0.33 Thread

My DL speed is measured in MBps, but the first time I dl'd it was corrupted. NSIS probably clashed with the download resume after power loss... If someone sets up a torrent I'll seed (by replacing the uTorrent placeholder file with my already dl'd file) , but, being a residential internet subscriber, my upload speed is shamefully disproportionate to the download...

Heck, why stop at the game website? Let's frantically send emails to the President, demanding that Kael get's the authority to upload his updates to any server on the web automatically, and watch as the whole department of defense goes down. It would lead to like, at least 2 turns of anarchy... I wonder what the name of THAT civic would be?

Maybe, FFHism?

Thanks Kael!

I guess my neighbors wireless is faster than most of your connections. We still have dial-up here, but my laptop's very weak connection to a neighbors internet managed to fish the download in just under half an hour. (If I'd waited until I went back to school, I probably could have downloaded in it about half a minute.) I just finished the installation.

HAY get off my network !!!!!

As said in the bug thread try disabling opening movies in civ4.ini . One of the likely causes.

for all those having difficulties downloading the file from one of the hosters, I uploaded the file to rapidshare, I had to split the file, just copy both files into one directory and unrar with WinRar or some other packer

Thanks!

Tessa's entry was written a long time ago by Corlindale (I think thats right). I tweaked it a little bit to reference the other stories. I wrote the other 4 chapters for 0.33.

Has the code for naval invasions been changed? I never had any trouble with naval invasions from the AI, but having just conquered my continent as the Balseraph and snugly playing the builder game, I suddenly find myself under attack from another continent under the sway of the Veil.

And it's quite effective. I got hit with 10+ high-level troopgroups in three different places, losing four cities in two turns. Woohoo, fun with other continent-AI .
Took them back eventually, but it required some creative continent-cruising with my heroes. And still massive shipconvoys arrive every three turns, to unload another batch of troops upon any lightly-defended city. Mobility promotion is top-priority with my new troops. I'm having trouble staying away from the load-button.
Most fun I ever had.

Is this coincidence or better AI?

 

[eerr]

the ai just has bad judgement of power, a poor grasp of strategy, and an inability to compensate for bad judgement. Its not really a sea issue... just that the ai has trouble moving reinforcements quickly that distance.

long distance ai attacks fail to do significant damage 70% of the time

So it was probably just a fluke then.
Thought this could be the case. Pity, though.
