Well, I can only get 1 out of every 3 games loaded. If it works, I can bypass nemoy's intro, if not, I have to suffer through it, and the game just DRAGS. Totally weird. Does anyone know if we can bypass the intro by default, so we don't alway have to click or hit esc every time? It's really annoying.

if you click on the city area in the city screen (any spot not being worked by your workers) it acts as an enter key =)

My first game was Gandhi, and second was Saladin, and i'm currently on Persia, which has founded every major religion save buddhism. I prefer playing pacifist, but it's not as long or fun as 3 was. so now i'm deep in a war with china =)

thing about great prophets is that they suck in the late game, once all the shrines are done. and they're the only GP i seem to be getting =(

I finally got the game to run. I had to download and manual install the direct x 9 file from online. It was not installing right from the CD. Now to learn how to play.

How do you change what the city is building in the middle of a project?

Hmmmm... Without going into the city screen and without a keyboard, that's probably pretty difficult. If there's some way out of the city screen, it's easy from there. Just click off the thing being built and click on what you want.

Oops. I missed that first line. Okay, so it's easy to change production with mouse only then.

Did you try Epic mode, talinthas? What level are you playing at?

You're getting prophets like mad because you have all of the religious wonders. GPPs (Great People Points) are colored by what creates them. Try putting some non-priest specialists in some city not generating as much GPPs, or building non-religious wonders, and you should get some non-prophet GPs. Remember if 90% of your GPPs come from religious sources, then you've got a 90% chance of getting a Great Prophet as your GP.

Super priest specialists aren't as cool as a shrine obviously, but they're better than nothing...

I turn off barbarians in my games (which seems to also turn wild animals off as well).

Doing so makes games much more enjoyable for me.

I don't think I turned it off. But I have not run into any, been playing on easiest. I have run into other enemy units and took them out, but no animals/ Barb.
