It worked. Thanks.

I'm using Windows 7 with a AMD Athlon II Dual-core M320 2.10 GHz processor with 4gb of RAM. Alpha's 9 and older installed and ran fine. It's only the most recent two that have had problems.

When I've tried to install Alpha 10, and now Alpha 11, I get and error that says "error opening file for writing" and options to abort, ignore, the file, or retry. It does it for basically all the files. Does anyone know what's wrong?

I think it would be interesting if you could build sea walls. They could be slowbuilding and destructible. They would be used to create harbors, block off rivers, and make bottlenecks and choke-points.

The Iberians already have flaming javelins as one of their special technologies, so giving other civs flaming arrows isn't fair and unbalances the game. Also: never trust Hollywood.

What about people who want to play but don't have much time?

The problem with a map like this is that it's a siege level, and for a good siege level you need good siege mechanics like walls that can have people on them and siege ladders and stuff......which doesn't really seem likely at this point....

Just wondering, what makes units on walls so hard to put in? How will gates be built with this setup? Same as they are now? Or could it be something like select a part of the wall and build a gate there? What about postern gates?

Personally, I really like the battalion system, but I'm not sure it would work well with citizen soldiers. Maybe we could do it with super units though....

I think that the Iberians need some kind a transport vessel at the very least. If we put in fire ships, I think that you should get to choose when to light it. After all, how many people build a boat and promptly set it on fire with no enemies around?

I was asking where to find the screenshots that I've taken.

What does each Civilization specialize in? And where do you find screenshots?

I have a few questions that hopefully some of you can answer. How do you research things? Or has that not been implemented yet? How much good does garrisoning units in guard towers do? And does it matter if they are ranged or not? Do formations actually do anything?

I'm building a fortress right now, but it doesn't qualify for this. How do you get Iberian walls to not have gaps?

I have been thinking, and I thought of an idea for what is basically a pause button. I know that there's already a pause button, but this one would be a bit different. The difference would be that you could give units and buildings orders while it's paused. Like in a battle, you could use it to execute complicated maneuvers. Right now it's rather annoying that the computer can multitask like crazy and you can't possibly keep up. This would help in that regard a lot. The main problem is that it detracts from the 'real-time' part of the game, so it's not particularly likely to be implemented.
