Destiny of Empires [Diplo Game] [Organization Thread]

I think some nations promised help.
I wonder what happened to original Mongolia, or is he playing again?

No sub for India yet

[The Priest]

So have we decided that its best to let India and Mongolia limp on without help/change?

[England (DoE)]

War is over we can return to a normal timer.

[America (DoE)]

Yes and yes.

If you google that popup, you get a whole lot of stuff. Here is a couple of discussions about it:

From what I read, it would be best to uninstall Civ, then go to your folder where it was, and delete anything there that remains. Also go to my documents folder, delete anything related to civ there as well. Then run the install/setup as administrator, follow the correct sequence (first civ, then bts, then the patches one after the other, and then put the mod file in the correct folder). It says in many of these threads that this either happens when something goes wrong with patching, or if something has changed in the xml, or if something went wrong with putting things in mod folders.

Turn timer back to 8 hours.

I'll consider St Jon's sub to be not existing and I'll actively looking for a perm sub. Thanks mzprox.

[mzprox]

I just want to clarify that I'm subbing India only to try to keep it alive untill a proper perm. sub is found. So I will not post stories, vote, diplo etc.. (well I have still tried but that got ignored by Arabia..they said 4 sentences are not enough for an answer but I won't do more..)
I'm suggesting here to at least make a thread for 'looking for replacement', because I just don't see how you will get a player without actively looking for one.

Actually, I had that issue recently when I tried to run the game on my work-issued laptop. I never could get the game to run. I figured it had something to do with the fact that I wasn't the administrator for the computer and that it was set not to allow me to run a game from online, but that was purely a guess.

[Arabia (DoE)]

Yes and yes.

[France (DoE)]

Two questions Arabia.

When you open civ, and "go advanced" and then "about this build" does it say civ version 319 and two lines down build version 3.1.9.0?

Secondly, when you hit "go advanced" and then "load a mod", does Destiny of Empires show up as an option - probably between "Defense" and "diplomacy"?

[Arabia (DoE)]

Here is my latest error. That image is from my video camera since it crashes the game too fast to read it otherwise.







Any ideas?

[France (DoE)]

She is? Where to?

Heading your way ....

[Native America (DoE)]

I'm standing by and will continue to play Arabia's turns until told otherwise. Can't afford to miss a turn. Barbs on the move.

She is? Where to?

[America (DoE)]

Thanks again France. All this happened while others were posting about barbs flattening cities, not that I worry about that but there were some workers floating around.

Yes, that error was with the old patch. One problem I ran into was the ingame updater downloading the patch and saying it was installing it, but not installing it.

This last error is interesting. Something about the MODS folder and I think administrator rights or some windows 7 BS.

Don't use the in game updater, it's ****ty. The best way to install civ4 is to install civ4, then Beyond the Sword, don't start the game, then download patch 3.17 and 3.19 separately (you can find the links by googling, or on gamespot), first install 3.17, don't start the game, restart computer, then install 3.19, and then you can start the game. Having installed civ 4 many many times, I find that this order of doing things gives the best results. If you get admin errors, it can be several things. One way to sometimes solve these is by starting up the game as administrator (right click on the shortcut, select "run as administrator").

Just as a point of interest, I also sometimes get a message that Civ is going to lower my graphics to match my computer, which I find odd considering I have a high end rig.

I think it's about pixels. If you have different resolution settings in Civ v Win 7 it makes adjustments.

I have Win 7 on 2560/1440 AND the same in the Civ prefs. I no longer get that message you speak of..
