SIMPLE and EASY Ideas for the Patches

[Sloth_DC]

[92] Holy Cities arise in a culturally oppressed city of any civilization with which the prereq tech discoverer has contact. This would be both more historical and would help game balance - as it stands now, Holy Cities going automagically to the discoverer of the tech just reinforces an early tech lead, and doesn't model history very well.

[93] There should be some mechanism for removing a religion from a city - either a city project that ejects the religion over time, or a missionary mission.

[94] OK, this one is totally wish-list, and probably well-beyond the scope of a patch - but I'm looking forward hopefully to the first expansion Leader bonuses and religious bonuses should not be set at the beginning of the game - they should be sliders that the leader can adjust, very slowly, throughout the game. Of course, I kinda feel the same way about UU

[91] especially when the game is waiting for the end of the turn I'm not expecting to end the turn and get some action in the background when hitting enter but to close the advisor screen.

[95] I want an option to open the production list menu inside of the city screen (It is much more convenient than those icons on the bottom)

[Shadowlord]

[96] Add an option to the graphics settings to turn off shadows from terrain, improvements, etc.

[97] Add an option to the graphics settings to disable terrain animations (without also disabling unit animations).

Wouldn't it also make sense for railroad to increase the hammer output of quarries in the same way it does for mines? It doesn't do this at the moment...

[poundpuppy]

The Globe zoom map function to be mappable to a mouse key. Middle preferably.
I want to be able to quickly get an overview of the terrain and then return just as fast.

Hi!

To improve yield of readers/modder/developers, this thread should be a new forum (ie: Civ4 - Requests/fixes).
Each element indexed as [n], should be a different thread to find easily if a request is done (to avoid redundance) and better for developers/modders to locate ideas and see most demanded for next patch

[59] Space Bar as an option to end turn.


space bar has always been skip units turn, why would you want to change this?

[Tiberius]

People, stop arguing about the Spacebar as end turn button! It is possible to end the turn with space!

When you see the "Press ENTER message to end turn" message press SPACE and voila: end turn.

[Harovan]

Please let custom names, given to a unit, survive an upgrade!

[Fosse]

Right. I was wrong about spacebar. It works both the way I've requested it to, and the way it always has in the past.

[TomVeil]

Add this please: option to turn off wonder movies (or, option to keep them from crashing )

[Bhruic]

You can already do that:

Go to the "My Documents\My Games\Civilization 4" folder. Edit the "CivilizationIV.ini" file. Find the line that says:
NoMovies = 0
and change it to:
NoMovies = 1

[98] Have a "game information screen" that shows what difficulty level you're playing at, how many players there are, &c. Preferably, make this visible without actually loading the game, i.e., through the "load game" dialogue box.

[Fosse]

[99] Starting a Play Now! game with random settings leads to a summary screen where you are told which settings the game randomly selected. This screen should read "Random" for all such selections.

I would like to see an icon over the city names to note the presence of an airport (just like the small religion icons, 'max gold producer', pentagon, etc.). A bit annoying trying to remember which cities have airports (the improvement graphics get covered by the city names.)
