Just a note. The last game I set up had problems with the goody huts, hence the game's name.

Turned out that I could only see where goody huts were if I was using a scout, because they have a blue circle around them. The actual graphic for the goody hut wasn't visible. Can people let me know if you can see a hut graphic on the screen so we know that it's not a problem for this game. Or if you have scouts and see a blue circle, but no hut graphic, can you let me know that too.

Thanks

Try to confirm or recheck e-mail maybe..............

The blue circles only appear on the huts when your using a scout.

As it turn out I have tracked the problem to my PC. Was using a 'nocd crack' for vanilla civ as my PC was under the desk and changing between warlords and vanilla meant hands and knees trying to juggle 2 disks. Now i have external rom and using the original disk, everything is fine.

Except for the fact that it was unknowingly affecting all my vanilla civ4 games. Not only couldn't I see huts, but I couldn't see forest, jungle or resources. Anything overlaying the base tile was not displaying.

I've tried posting from an alternative account - hasn't been sent back yet. Fingers crossed.

Well I'm glad my spam trap email worked, even if my main account didn't.
