Civ4
18:50:02 Dec 16th 07 - Sir Spoon:

Hohoho people. I see some people that want to play EU2 in a few weeks. Well, I feel like playing Civ4! It's an awesome strategy game..

I'll explain how to get it, and you can experience it yourself.
If you want to check out the demo first: download.
How to install the real game, check out the lowest part of the post.

  • Date - Will be set later
  • Map/Mod/Patch etc - Will be chosen later
  • Maximum amount of players - 10 for now. If interest grows I'll look for a map that can contain more players..



For the real game:
Install bitlord, bittorrent, or any torrent program. Just google for bitlord or something, dowload and install.

Download this torrent, and open it in your torrent program.


Start the torrent manually if it doesn't start automatically, and yes, I know it'll take some time. But the game is awesome! :P

Once the torrent is finished you get a few things in the map you downloaded it to (default with Bitlord: ...\Bitlord\Downloads).
You unpack the PowerIso .rar file, and install this..
Reboot, and now you should be able to open the Civilization4.daa file with it. Open it, and install Civ4!

Once you done that, you copy the crack in the map where the poweriso thing was aswell, and paste it into your Civ4 map.

Run the 1.52 patch, it'll make Civ4 run faster =)
Err, and if you still have problems with running it, copy paste the crack again, that should fix it then. I think...

So who's interested? =)


18:51:27 Dec 16th 07 - Mr. Might The God of Cows:

Uh Ill try it I guess. Ill get it later though.


18:51:59 Dec 16th 07 - Mr. Umbar:

Yay Civilzation! Best game ther is1 poor enough i have only Civ 2....:(
But i tead evrything about civ 4 i can find!


18:53:48 Dec 16th 07 - Sir Spoon:

Go install it! ^^


18:55:13 Dec 16th 07 - Mr. Umbar:

i wil ask it for cristmas :O


18:55:14 Dec 16th 07 - Sir Ron Jeremy:

I'd play along with you guys but my 'borrowed' wireless internet connection is very fickle and I'd probably be lagging (or dropping) frequently.


18:57:25 Dec 16th 07 - Mr. Might The God of Cows:

I don't think my computer can even run it. Could it run it with this stuff?



 Processor: AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2000+,  MMX,  3DNow, ~1.7GHz

19:02:07 Dec 16th 07 - Sir Spoon:

Umbar! I explained the free download =)

Might- You probably can with that.. Try it with the demo I'd say.


19:07:41 Dec 16th 07 - Mr. Might The God of Cows:

I have a problem! I really don't like the Modern (Guns! I don't mind muskets though. But I hate the Modern part!) Is it possible that we can only play with the parts except the Modern part?


19:13:18 Dec 16th 07 - Mr. Roxbury:

Civ 4 is a lot of fun online. Its also really stable, unlike some other games.. like if one player drops from the game, a comp player takes over and the other guy can just IP back in when his internet goes up again.


19:13:38 Dec 16th 07 - Mr. Ghouma:

Me and Neratu have been playing together the last weeks, so we would be intrested in a VU game.


19:36:39 Dec 16th 07 - Mr. Umbar:

Might, i have the smae prolem, i too don't like modern part..the solotion is easay, do little players, lots of continent but no seas and just do a rush :D


19:39:11 Dec 16th 07 - Sir Revenge:

It takes forever to download......


19:52:37 Dec 16th 07 - Sir Drunken:

umm i left my civ 4 disc in another country! damn it always like this


20:04:41 Dec 16th 07 - Demonic Shezmu:

I believe I have Civ4 somewhere...bought the Chronicles-pack a year ago...should be in there...somewhere...


20:18:57 Dec 16th 07 - Mr. Neratu:

Sure, long as it doesnt compete with EU2

civ4, warlords, or beyond the sword?


21:05:39 Dec 16th 07 - Duke Efrandor:

Would be fun, civ4 is niiice:)  Don't have any expansions tough.


21:49:04 Dec 16th 07 - Sir Spoon:

civ4, no expansions either..

And I'm in for EU2 aswell so =)


21:51:44 Dec 16th 07 - Mr. Roxbury:

If you dont like the modern part of civ4, just change the sci settings so that research will be slower for everyone.


22:26:39 Dec 16th 07 - Mr. Ghouma:

Why would anyone do that, the modern part is much funnier.


23:09:56 Dec 16th 07 - Mr. Atreides:

I have Civ4...like the real one with the CD and all that crap. But I can never get the online thing to work! It really pisses me off! And now all you people are downloading it and playing it online! Not fair :(


23:56:15 Dec 16th 07 - Mr. Sigheart The Hobo:

I luvs Civ4. Played it so many times!


02:01:21 Dec 17th 07 - Sir Erunion Telcontar:

I've just stopped playing Civ4 then looked at this thread... I love the whole series, but I don't have any expansions for civ4 yet... Hmmm... I'll probably get BTS soon...
I have however made a good world map, (with Mac) and a good Europe map (by myself). Just started the Europe map, and have had the world map for ages, so if I do join this game, those might work...


02:09:29 Dec 17th 07 - Mr. Goldsie:

Civ 4 is awsome, been playing it for a year or so


02:12:47 Dec 17th 07 - Mr. Might The God of Cows:

Sheesh! The download is LONG! Just gimme a few days to learn the game. I played the first civ.


16:30:24 Dec 17th 07 - Mr. Umbar:

The expension sound cool , to me, with those colonies you can make...:D
Both expensions have that not?


17:56:10 Dec 17th 07 - Mr. Ghouma:

cant we play a random map?


18:00:23 Dec 17th 07 - Mr. Umbar:

nope :(
and only 90 turns or so...
i recomend doing inca..you can do  a fast rush with ther special worrior unit...
at least some action before it ends...


19:31:21 Dec 17th 07 - Sir Spoon:

@ Ghouma - We can, but having that nationalistic feeling trying to control your own country feels good =)


18:26:55 Dec 18th 07 - Mr. Might The God of Cows:

So whens this happening? I haven't even finished downloading the game :/


18:45:24 Dec 18th 07 - Sir Spoon:

18:57:20 Dec 18th 07 - Mr. Might The God of Cows:

19:24:00 Dec 19th 07 - Mr. Might The God of Cows:

19:48:25 Dec 19th 07 - Mr. Might The God of Cows:

19:53:44 Dec 19th 07 - Mr. Might The God of Cows:




19:54:04 Dec 19th 07 - Mr. Might The God of Cows:

You can see my backround! oh noes!


20:39:35 Dec 19th 07 - Mr. Umbar:

Is it a dog or is it a cat?


20:48:17 Dec 19th 07 - Lord Clone IX:

Sweet! Already had it installed on my pc apparently Love to play (Even though I suck at it). I seem to have the Warlords expansion and the 2.08 update. You know if I need to reinstall everything so I only have the normal version or can I just play?

Sent me a PM ingame if you want to know something / give info and dates, as I tend to miss posts on these forums due all the chatting.


21:28:18 Dec 19th 07 - Mr. Might The God of Cows:

So what should I do with that stuff? (In the middle)


21:45:44 Dec 19th 07 - Mr. Umbar:

you eat it! That cat/dog probably tasts good


21:51:01 Dec 19th 07 - Lord Clone IX:

Google it. There is a huge amount of info on websites about types of files.

Here is my first hit on the part files:

So you downloaded some files and there are a bunch of em... named .r00 to .r40 (for example). Well, this should clear the air for the newbs on what to do.

(1) Download WinRar ( http://www.win-rar.com/download.html ). Durring the installation, it asks you a few questions. It will ask you what files to associate with WinRar. Just check what you want. But just chosing .rar will be fine. (Do not select ISO.) Then it will ask you to integrate WinRar into shell. Choose yes, and choose your context menu items that you want. (those will be options when you right click on a .rar archive. very handy!)
----------------------------------------

note: WinRar archives come in different extensions, depending on what version of WinRar the ISO was archived with.

Examples: .001, .r01, .part01.rar
----------------------------------------

(2a) So now you have WInRar installed. Now it's time to extract your ISOs. Go to your folder where you have your downloaded files. If you have a crapload of files, choose list view in your folder to see what you are working with. 99% of the time, all you will have to do is right click the first file in your list (remember the "context menu options"), and choose "extract to." Then browse for a.locationer that you want your ISO extracted to and click "ok." WinRar will extract the ISO and whatever else is archived in that group of files to your destination of choice.
Note: The time it takes for the ISO to extract is dependant on the speed of your computer and the ammount of files it needs to extract from.

(2b) If by chance you right click your first file and you do not see "extract to" as an option, do not punch your monitor, it's ok. Just open WinRar and browse to the folder that your downloaded files are in. You will then single click (just to highlight) the first file in your list and choose "extract to" from the buttons on top. It will then open a dialog box so you can choose your destination. Click "ok" and it will extract. Again, extraction time varies.

So basically extract with Winrar. If you have any problems with this then just google it and look for other sites.


22:09:58 Dec 19th 07 - Mr. Might The God of Cows:

I extracted it already.... But a Crack and a Patch cam out of all of them!


22:48:17 Dec 19th 07 - Sir Spoon:

Um, what's in the Patch and Crack maps? .exe files or?..


23:03:50 Dec 19th 07 - Mr. Mano:

could be that im joining this :p got it from Kimmen a while ago, but depends on when it is. (notice that i am horribly bad at Civ4 so im likely to get slaughtered ;) )


23:07:58 Dec 19th 07 - Mr. Might The God of Cows:

The Crack File has a Crack for the game.


The other one has Civ4Patch1.52.exe


23:09:12 Dec 19th 07 - Lord Clone IX:

Glad Im not the only one thats horrible at it.

@Might: For what version is the crack? You prolly need to run the update and then replace the .exe file with the crack.


23:21:21 Dec 19th 07 - Sir Erunion Telcontar:

I rock at Civ 4! I've one a whole game on Noble! More than one! Aren't I Leet! :P
(I neither suck nor rock. I merely have a lot of fun playing...)
