Some questions answered

Um yeah 1.2 GB. Cost me like $100.

The Iroquois are about to beat my arse. They have three cities and are about to build two more. I am about to build my third. And they are building the Oracle. Argh!

[Elucidus]

Hmm. Built my two other cities too far away. I was trying to cause my two neighers to fight, but it backfired. Now their waste is too high, so we'll see. Pretty challanging so far.

[Seau]

What about golden ages, has anyone got one yet? I can't seem to find anything in the manual about it (of course that might be because I'm trying to read it under my desk at work... )

[Elucidus]

The game has mentioned it, while I was playing, but I haven't had one.

[Typo]

Does it let you know when the other civs are having a golden age?

[Wittlich]

Elucidus, you stated that you are an "expansionist" So are you playing the Americans? If so, it will be a while for your GA.

Or if you're not playing the Americans, who are you playing?

[Elucidus]

The Iroquois took one of my cities through culture...the bastards.

Their borders grow to surround my city and poof, I was gone. Oh well.

[Wittlich]

So what civilization are you playing?

[Elucidus]

Oh yeah, I forgot about that. My golden age isn't for a while yet. Oh well. I gave up. I looked at the histograph or whatever it was and man I was getting beat, but my starts were flawed, so I'll just try again.

Dude, they make 512MB chips of RAM now, and some motherboards have 4 slots, that makes 2048, and it wouldnt even cost you that much to get 2048MB, its a very good investment.

actually, knowing Windows ability to utilize large memory sizes, that would be a silly investment.

[Elucidus]

Actually, Windows 2000 and XP seem to utilize it greatly. Not to mention it makes a great RAM Drive.

[Elucidus]

Noticed something else. If you build a city near the culture of one of your other cities, your city boarder extends into that area. So you can use those tiles. Pretty sweet I think.

Elucidus, I have been wondering for some time a question about irrigation. Do you have to be next to a body of seawater or something to improve the farms? My copy from amazon won't arrive for a week or so.

All that and more. It is almost unbearable for me. Sound skips, lag when scrolling the map etc. a real drag. And my pc isnt that bad


-FMK.

[Elucidus]

For Irrigation you need to be near a river or an inland sea. Note however, if you build your city on a river you do not need an aqueduct.

Also I have noticed a little bit of a slow down, the game takes anywhere from 5-10 secs per turn.
