Welcome to Giant Earth Map (GEM)!

Is it possible for me to adjust the range for building cities? I believe it's now 3 tiles, and it used to be 2 tiles?

Do you mean it is 1 tile more than normal (vanilla Civ)?

I don't recall I changed it. I could have a look.

Guys, good news.

I've found where the bug is located that creates the popup as mentioned by rasta jones and a number of you.

For now, you can fix it by replacing this file attached to the file in the following directory:

Giant Earth Map\Assets\Python\Contrib\CvModName.py

I haven't tested it yet, but I think this should work. But do make a backup of the original file before doing so.

thanks. it did actually work very fine since this error prevented using the "changeplayer" functions, and once installed this fix allowed it to work...
 
I have a little problem.

When i try to select South Africa in the 1860 scenario it CTDs. It doesn't appear to do this for any other civ in any other scenario. Any ideas? Is this a leaderhead problem? (I am playing just fine with the additional leaderheads the rest of the time.) Has anyone else played as South Africa/Boers 1860 in the latest release?

Just tried it - no problems here :)
 
Right now I am running with these system specs, and I am getting 5 minute turn times from the outset with the 1860AD Giant Earth map mod scenario.

AMD Sempron(tm) processor 2.21 GHz and 1.87 GB of RAM

NVIDIA GeForce 6100 nForce 405 graphics card.

I found this crappy $400 compaq computer with Windows 7 64 bit home premium edition, with these system specs...

AMD Athlon™ II 215 Dual-Core Processor 3 GB of RAM with a measly 6150 SE integrated graphics card according to a review. Basicially the customer review says this is not a good gaming computer.

But Civ 4 is an older game, and what I want to know is, would this be a decent upgrade to play civ a little faster. I don't want to spend alot of money just to play civ. Basically I just want to get a bit faster turn times, is this new computer better than my old one, and how much would it enhance gameplay performance?

Also with this Windows 7 is it compatible with Civ 4 BTS, because I have heard that BTS locks up after so many turns. I hear you have to run the app in windows xp mode, is this correct? Any information would be helpful about anything from windows 7 to game performance, or any other advice would be helpful. thanks

I tried to talk to the tech guys and I get no answer does someone who plays the mod know?

More RAM is always good so yes if you can affored an upgrade go for it. Civ4 is old and so it doesnt know to use dual-core processors but it still helps a bit as 1 core supports the game and another supports backround programs. the scenario's on GEM are always going to run very slow compared to normal games anyway (i get about 1 or 2 minuite waits). Windows 7 fully supports Civ4. i think.
 
Windows 7 supports Civ IV. Upgrading from Vista to Windows 7 actually improved the speed of my games. The only issue I encountered is that Windows 7 drivers created a conflict with Civ iv, so that I had a scrambling image, during the game when talking to leader heads. I simply re-installed the Vista drivers and the video is now fine.
 
I have had no problems thus far. Right now I am playtesting a vanilla mod to balance it before I post it. Windows 7 seems pretty efficient.
 
Please can someone tell me that GEM working with Civilization 4 Complete?

sorry if this information is somewhere here, but i cant find this...
