When you post/reply to a message, there is a margin on the left of your text box. There you'll notice the link "Smilies Legend". It tells you how to do all the special smilies

Cool - thanks for this crucial, vital, essential, top-priority information.

All those Santas lined up like that look cute. LOL

I've played the game for a while and the thing I dislike about it the most is that there's a limit of how many cities you can have under certain governments without it affecting the happiness. Is there any way to turn this off? It's extremely annoying when you're conquering other nations that have a lot of cities. Especially since the most any government can have is 60 cities. Does anyone know how to change this??

If you check out the creation forum, things like this are address on a regular basis... as for how to you just have to edit the govern.txt in ...\ctp2_data\default\gamedata. For example, anarchy has the following line...

quote: TooManyCitiesThreshold=1000

By changing the values you can make this a none factor. Raising all governments to 1000 should fix your problem, but make the game a little unrealistic... just like anarchy is... who ever heard of a peaceful transition from one gov't to another, the threshold should be low for that one at least causing riots... people hate major changes like that... and a civil war isn't always a bad thing is it

Hope that solves your question.

"Some such"?

Well, given the info provided, I would reckon it may be that the program is seeking the CD for files and then crashes to the desktop bc it can't locate your CD in the CD-ROM. It may be going to the CD to get movies or sound files that aren't on the hard drive and then crashes to the desktop when it doesn't find them.

I would check your devices in system settings and you can also add device settings in config.sys and autoexec.bat to make sure your CD is identified properly. You probably have a CD driver install disk you can get that info from.

Other thing is that you may have another IDE device on that same cable? That may be the cause of the failure to find the CD.

Okay here's my small problem... I've created a few scenarios with graater than 8 civs and placed starts by nation or nation with player choice.... when I go to start the game from main menu... there is a crash with error in ctp2.exe.... I've checked to see if my map is in error or if my saving order is correct... if the civs is less than or equal to 8 there is no problem even on a 210x300 map... I was wondering despite it not being supported if anyone had come across this, or if the activisioners would be willing to give me a method or idea why this is happening...

Thanks

Omni,

I commented on this in your post in the Creation section. It doesn't appear to be possible any more. While unsupported in CtP1, it was still possible. However, the code has changed and 2 more options were added so my guess is they removed the ability.
