Now i'm playing an OCC on Deity in a huge map with 16 civs. 70% water, 5 billion years old and the rest is normal. I'm now in the Middle Ages and i've managed quite well i must say.
But here comes my problem. I've noticed this before in regular games, but whenever i conduct diplomacy, the game falters big time. The sound becomes 'shocky' like a broken record.. tingting tingting tingting. And if i remain in diplomacy mode long enough, because i'm quite a diplomat
, the game simply crashes "this program has performed an illegal operation and will now shut down" (i think that's what it says in English, because my machine has dutch Windows).
Why does this happen and how can i solve it? It has happened before, but then i didn't really mind, because my diplomacy sessions weren't that long nor were they really important. But now i NEED to be a diplomat. I'm stuck now where i have discovered some civs have communications to other civs, but not all civs have the same communication. My plan is to buy communications at the lowest price and sell them to the highest bidder, thereby eventually making loads of cash for me But to check the prices offered and asked i need to go by each civ (14 discovered directly and indirectly), inquire about their prices, compare and then finally trade. This is going to be a very long session, so i don't want my machine to crash in the middle of negotiations.
Incidentally, does anyone know whether other civs will like me less if i continue to contact them but not making a trade? I could save, contact and then load after i write down the relevant data, thus avoiding contact, but that's really tedious (57% ring a bell?)
Also, does anyone know if it is possible to check foreign intelligence like in Civ2 without contacting the respective civs?
edit: btw i have an old (at the time it was new) IBM Aptiva, 450 MhZ, 64 MB RAM and 712 MB free disk space left.
thank you
