That sounds like an ordeal.

Yes. Ouch. Good luck Arabia.

I hope you get it figured out soon! Arabia needs you!

Gee thanks.

Maybe I'll hand another city over to Siddartha just for that.....

I did a search of my c drive for "civ" and deleted everything I could. A few items wouldn't delete. I then used the uninstall program with everything checked off.

I really think this is somehow related to windows 7. I had a heck of a time just getting the thing installed with the 3.19 patch. Installing civ4 then installing bts causes a game crash when bts tries to auto update. The solution for that is to install civ4, then 1.61, then 1.73, then install bts, then 3.17, then 3.19.

I might actually try to install xp in tandem and install this there.

Yes I am installing from a DVD. One other item of interest is that I have been playing this on win7 since the start of the game, so it DOES work with win7.

Rough day today, don't feel like wrestling with this again tonight.

Spent 4 hours on this tonight with the same results.

Will try again tomarrow.

D'oh, poor Arabia While doing the clean install, did you go into the different directories after uninstalling and removing every last trace of civ? I remember that as one of the things that one of those guys in one of those forum posts said was very important.

If you did, then we must be missing something. PM me if you noticed anything odd, or just PM me about what happened, we're not giving up yet Btw, I assume you are installing from a DVD?

Hey Arabia, sorry to hear about all your frustrations.

France did some nice story posts for you btw. Maybe RP could change them to Arabia DoE?

I understand your frustration after losing Bombay.
France though tried to help and faced a difficult situation.

I hope that the saves help.
Good luck.

Good luck Arabia.

Re: Mongola, for the record, I get the idea that Mongolia is not complaining or accusing anybody. He just refuses help for reasons that may be right or wrong. I did not get the idea that he had a negative ooc view on Russia or China's player.

I may be wrong, but that's my feeling about it.

[Arabia (DoE)]

Going to try a complete reinstallation tonight. I was out of town over thanksgiving with no computer access.

Very interested to see how India managed to swipe back Bombay with my two quad promoted archers standing guard.

[China (DoE)]

Just got back from a weekend away and catching up on everything.

Mongolia you are not being truthful there is enough room to your East for 10-15 cities. You say I have settled in land that belongs to you? What makes it your land? It is as close to my capital as it is to yours.

You are bringing unnecessary negativity to the game with these posts. I have helped India out a little, Russia is trying to help you, and instead you threaten us both. That's fine with me, build your horse units, I will dedicate a city to building spears. You are free to make choices in the game, as many of us have stated, we built settlers while you built pyramids. Your actions have consequence and so will your next ones.

Just don't complain when you attack Russia or myself that it doesn't work out in your favor, which it won't, because if you attack us we are allowed to strike back.

11 hrs is fine by me Just got settled into my new home, so I will finally be able to start posting some stories!

[France (DoE)]

11hrs.

[Robert]

Anybody against shortening the turn timer to 11 hours for another 50 turns?

Feel free to speak up. You got the rules on your side.
But if you do not really need those hours we may loosen the rules up a bit.

[2metraninja]

Cant we have a vote to shorten the timer a bit? 10 or 11 hours normally? With the slowing down when a player is online, it becomes like 11 or 12 hours in real time.
