I have ordered several games via the US as well as some books. I have never had to pays customs tax (hooray) In this case I downloaded it and paid in dollars via a credit card (so up yours Mister tax man).

Yeh I found this by accident as well, shame the manual is not upto date.
Yep A zoom out option on the main screen would be great, the current setting makes everything look big and IMO cheesey.
Depends were you normally download to, try the "My downloaded files" directory,if you are an XP user. If not go back to the web site get the name of the file you have downloaded and search for it on your machine.
Only add multiplayer if it doesnt waste time which could be used to keep improving single player. Personally I never play multiplayer games :)
Don't you realise how much posts like these annoy the MOO3 fanboys over at the infogrames forum.
Its used to move through your music tracks,if you are using a playlist. It can be used for normal game music if you copy space01 -05.mpg from your music folder to the playlist folder and select user definded playlist in the options screen.
Just in case no one has already suggested this. I can see version 1.03 will have a proper tech tree screen. Can you add something to the tech descriptions to indicate what their relative value would be when trading with other civs eg. M2 = Military level 2 (nnn BC to complete resaearch). Also can you change the colour of trade goods and wonders in the selection lists to make them easy to distinguish from normal social projects.
This issue will never be resolved until a reveal map cheat is available. Then we can prove whether the aI is taking liberties with the rules.
I agree with the original poster get a proper tech tree built into the game and allow the user to select the best path to a particular advance etc. Javascout's work is great but its a pain to keep alt-tabbing to get information that should be available in-game.
The whole issue of AI cheating will never be resolved until a reveal map cheat is available, until then we can all speculate as to whether the event can be explained away by somehting we were not aware of. We could blndly trust the developers who say it does not cheat, but the true cynic would say "they would say that wouldnt they". Back to your original post, the really nasty random events dont occur on the easier setting with version 1.02. Also you can simply reload the last save before th
Yup I agree with you, I think this should be fixed
Great idea
Yeh, these graphs fooled me as well, they actually show how much of your resources you are commiting to an area of your economy relative to the AI empires. The only really useful one is population which shows the true ongoing picture, not the relative growth on a turn by turn basis. IMO these graphs are fairly useless apart from giving you a clue when an AI power is investing heavily in a certain development area.
I cant bribe them to attack the other alliance because the attack treaty option in the diplomacy screen only lists minor races.
IMHO I think the AI is cheating, they got alliances off me via a third party and within 12 months they had created a massive AI alliance and I cant get close to the only other civilisation who is not in the alliance. Also this other civ is at war with the others and has been for ages !!!!
I have the alliance technology, but I can't make alliances with other races, please help, an enemy alliance is destroying me while my enemies enemy looks on !!!!!
Same thing happened to me. Some how the computer insisted that it wanted to play from a playlist even when it was not selected. To get the music working again simply copy the music files Space01 -05 from the music directory to the playlist directory.
