ITT: nice user support!

a25 is out, maybe that solves that.

I don't know how you prevented Norton from deleting files, maybe you have to set exceptions to let the .exe run. I had to do that with my antivir to prevent some issues. You could also try another antivir like Avast (I don't trust Norton anyway).

@seeh

Yeah, I still don't get what the problem is supposed to be, or why trading with someone else being beneficial wouldn't make sense.

@chrstgtr Either I'm confused or you are; metal from trade doesn't have anything to do with deposits? So access to metal deposits has nothing to do with trade? It's an abstraction of the benefits int'l trade offers? Again, an abstraction of the benefits of int'l trade? And 'someone else would want' is not how it actually works in-game? So again, I don't get your point of being hurt by it.

Someone once offered me a snack-bar with insects and it was ok; if it became more common, maybe I'd eat more insects. Nutrition/environmental impact ratio is better than meat, they're less sentient than mammals plus more distant, so nasty stuff like brain damage isn't as likely to contract (speaking about the Creutzfeld-Jakob sheep again).

I don't understand the point with the middle man; I also don't understand why you say Carthaginians are hurt by international trade. I think it's historically correct that trading internationally is stimulating trade, if only because other regions have stuff not available domestically.

There are still better and worse choices, IMHO. I haven't eaten meat in decades, because I think this industrial production is brutal and harming animals, humans and nature alike (the series of BSE, swine fever, nicotine chickens and Creutzfeld-Jakob sheep made me think); I eat seafood only in small quantities and with a seal (like MSC, whatever that's worth, better than nothing I guess). I don't have an own car anymore, I don't buy throw-away clothes. I've never ordered from Amazon, because f that f'head. I'm paying a bit extra to not have energy from nuclear or coal plants. Guess I'm not saving the planet with that, but just like you, I'm at least trying to keep my footprint small.

I had no doubt it was done on purpose; I just wanted to roll my eyes to that with ostentation. The only 'reason' given there is that you thought it was poor design, without any explanation why. :p

Women can't enter the turrets anymore.

Of course there's not one source of all evil (assuming there isn't actually a cabal of lizards or whatever controlling everything). But it's not like there are no boogeymen. If companies know their business model is ruining the planet and still lobby, lie and bribe to keep it going, I consider that evil. The same is true for the politicians playing along, of course. Our current Wirtschaftsminister (~Minister for Economic Affairs) has effectively shot down our domestic wind and solar industry while being very friendly towards the coal companies. With rampant corruption I'm sure he's not just an idiot but will profit from that financially.

I'd be fine with that, too. Next step: Wolololo!

@chrstgtr If you can't produce units house/pop cap don't matter either. As I can't think of a way a unit not being able to build or capture bringing up a civ again, I'm fine with healers etc. not counting towards the defeated status.

The basics of climate change were known in the 60s/70s, so it's more half a century of wasted potential. And all the money grabbing/corrupt people responsible for keeping destroying our planet will never be hold accountable.

But if they're technically dead by conquest they at least shouldn't have a temple to train new healers, right?

@wowgetoffyourcellphone Yeah, I thought priests might be like fishing boats or merchants regarding that aspect, I just wanted to make sure.

@Stan` It was Conquest = kill all units.

This priest lost his team affiliation the moment I killed the rest of his people; is that intended behavior? (Like fishing boats.)

@Ceres I always un-installed the old version and then installed the new; settings and saved games are still there (Windows). Don't know what extra steps you would do.

Well, that sucks. I also believe the name is deceiving then.

Manned turrets don't shoot arrows anymore? (Build 25848)

It's in the tooltip for The Loom and it's also shown when you look at the unit info.

Are skirmishers battle-bots? ;p

There is. And I think it's good how it is now. (Destroying some of my stuff - and sending tributes to enemies - really has taught me to be careful with those orders...)
