Auto-play without human

[tgwpage]

Hi

Has anyone found a way of getting Civ4 to play with only computer players, ideally with option of a pause between computer player's turn?

I think this was do-able with CIV2.
Thanks

I suspect that you will be able to do it by modifying .ini file

In Warlords find the following:

; Set App on Auto-Run
Autorun = 0

and change it to:

; Set App on Auto-Run
Autorun = 1


See if that works.

; Set App on Auto-Run

and change it to:

; Set App on Auto-Run
Autorun = 1

I don't think so. I think that controls whether the application starts up when you put the disk in the drive.

What you're looking for, tgwpage, is a way to watch Civ being played, rather in the way that other people watch football or baseball.

I can't help you.

I don't think so. That controlls whether the application starts up when you put the disk in the drive.

Actually, those lines are in the DEBUG section of the .ini file and, having just tried it out, it is a way of getting the game to run automatically.

I don't know how to get the game to pause at the end of each turn though.

Revolutions-mod has a way to do this. Just ctrl-shift-x to start, for X-turns, and same to stop. Tried it on Settler, lost rather magnificiently... Not that smart AI.

Wow!

Well, don't I look like a complete idiot?

Just edit the ini file back to what it was when you want it to stop!
