In Civilization, how does the AI act, depending on each difficulty? Is there a special way they do things?

Posted: 06 Jun 2021 02:30 PM PDT

I'm a new player at Civilization 3, and I want to know how the other countries/civilizations will act. Is there a reason they will move the way they do? Is there any special thing to watch out for? How does the AI change when you select different difficulties? There should be a certain way that you will be able to react the the AI so you can get better games? Depending on the difficulty, will the game last a bit less, because it's more difficult to stay alive?

Thanks in advance.

Go West! A Lucky Luke Adventure : crash at startup

Posted: 06 Jun 2021 01:16 PM PDT

I found out this old game from the attic. I tried to run it on Windows 10 but it crashed at startup.
What could be the problem ?

What did I tried ?

  • Installed DirectPlay
  • Run as administrator
  • Test out in virtual machines that the game works on Windows XP and Windows XP x64
  • ...

With some reverse engineering, I listed the ddl this program load :

enter image description here

You can find below the latest lines of the logs I got with SimpleProgramDebugger :

What's wrong with EA.com account and Polish tld?

Posted: 06 Jun 2021 10:16 AM PDT

I cannot enrol new child EA.com / Origin account because it claims that my (parent) email address (that I've been using for past 17 years) is invalid.

enter image description here

As I managed to figure out, the .pl (Polish top-level domain) is the problem. My Gmail's address passes without any troubles.

The story goes as:

  1. I have tried to register new account using newest stable version of Chrome browser for Windows. That failed (left above). For some reason using exactly the same URL I managed to enroll an account using Edge for Windows 10.

  2. Then my daughter installed Origin client for Windows 10 and tried to register child account, by providing my email address and her password (as instructed here). And we hit the wall for the second time.

This is twice stupid. Not only EA stuff (website) claims that a perfectly valid email address is invalid, but also EA software (Origin client) claims that already existing account's1 email address is invalid.

I have no idea what should I do in this situation. I did some research, but all that I managed to find out was some dully post that reports above, but brings no resolution to described problem.

1I can login to my account anytime and when I am doing so, it is magically no longer invalid.

Is speed better, or is acceleration better?

Posted: 06 Jun 2021 10:01 AM PDT

In Forza Motorsport 5, I've recently been racing, and I've got a bit of money in my wallet now. I want to get a good car with these, and I've seen some cars with high speeds but not as good low accelerations.

What I want to know is: what is better, speed or acceleration? I know that it really depends, but there should be a certain track that is good for each separate car. So, how can I buy a good car so that the car I buy is flexible to whatever race there is? Sometimes, the more speed isn't the better option.

Thank you in advance.

Posted: 06 Jun 2021 07:26 PM PDT

Im trying to get armor stands to spawn at all 6 sides of a specific block, in this case im using red wool.i have managed to do this by executing at named armor stands and detecting red wool block with ~~~, but im wondering is it possible to just spawn 6 armor stands at all sides on any red wool WITHOUT having an armor stand hovering above the block and detecting a red wool

I am on Xbox, so therefore in bedrock edition just to clarify, even though tag tells you that

Thanks

Minecraft Java: "Connection Lost" after approx 30 seconds of uptime on multiplayer modded server?

Posted: 06 Jun 2021 02:26 PM PDT

(Asking on behalf of my tech-illiterate friend)

I'm able to log into the server, but I can't interact with anything (e.g. place blocks, open chests). After 30 seconds, I'm kicked out with the error message "Connection lost". This has been happening consistently for a week, and only on this specific server. No other players have been affected or have experienced this issue. So far I've tried:

  • Restarting the launcher
  • Restarting my PC
  • Reinstalling all of my mods

But nothing has worked. Any ideas?

ETA: Mod list

  • Origins
  • Xaero's World Map
  • Xaero's Mini Map
  • WI Zoom
  • wiicustomorigins
  • Pehkui
  • originsumbrellas
  • Origins Classes
  • Mob origins
  • Hwyla fabric
  • Fabric API
  • ExtraOrigins
  • Environmental armor

I deactivated my child account on the PS4 where I had all my games downloaded, reactivated it and I have to redownload them, why?

Posted: 06 Jun 2021 07:04 PM PDT

I downloaded Minecraft and Tricky Towers on one of my accounts and it was accessible for both accounts I had. I made a new adult account so I could get PlayStation Plus, and then deactivated my others. The games are on the PS4 but I have to get the full version of Minecraft, and redownload Tricky Towers. How come this happened? I don't understand why I can't play the full version on the account when I reactivated it.

My controller does not work unless plugged in with a USB cable

Posted: 06 Jun 2021 09:48 PM PDT

My PS4 controller is connected to my PC with Bluetooth. The controller works with some games that I downloaded on Steam: when I turn it on the controller has a blue light and allows me to play as much as I want.

However, I downloaded a game off of a website and my controller only seems to work when it is plugged in with a USB cable. I've tried countless times to pair my controller via Bluetooth but while it says the controller is connected, the controller doesn't stay on for more than 5 seconds before automatically turning off again.

How do I keep my PS4 controller connected wirelessly? I'm using an Alienware Aurora gaming PC.

Problems with putting a saddle on a skeleton horse

Posted: 07 Jun 2021 12:06 AM PDT

I had a skeleton horse trap occur in my world and killed off the other skeletons and horses. I tried to tame the skeleton horse and once I get on it, it does respond to my controls but it seems super slow and unlike any other horse I've ridden in the game. I also can't open the "horse" inventory and equip a saddle. Can anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Note: I'm using the free education edition since I'm still considering buying the game. (It's free with a school account)

How do I import a .zip minecraft map into Minecraft?

Posted: 06 Jun 2021 06:03 PM PDT

I use Minecraft Education Edition. I have downloaded a few custom maps online (.zip) but whenever I try to import the extracted files into Minecraft, they don't show up.

What exactly do I need to do to be able to get them available within the game?

Minecraft: How can we repopulate a VANILLA world with MODDED ores?

Posted: 06 Jun 2021 09:45 AM PDT

I'm currently stuck in the process of trying to finalize a modded world in Minecraft. I need to repopulate ALREADY CREATED chunks with ores from mods.

For more context:

  • We're trying to use a 1.7.10 Earth map. We found a couple, all of which look fine and okay.
  • We're also trying to use a 1.7.10 modpack that is personalized to fit our Minecraft experience. It includes simpler mods like ArchimedesShips and Flans as well as worldgen-spawning stuff like Thermal Foundation, IC2, Tinker's Construct, and Pam's HarvestCraft

Particularly, the combination of the above premises is something I can't do, but are exactly what I need to do. I'm fairly familiar with MCEdit, MultiMC, COFHCore, WorldEdit, etc., so any combination of such to produce the modded ores would be the appreciated. The closest I've gotten to such a world was using COFHCore to regen ores which kinda did it. Through some config file tampering I got Thermal Foundation ores to generate in the Vanilla Earth map. However, two problems arose: ONLY thermal foundation ores were regen-ing into the vanilla map, and it simply took too long and by the time I checked in (2 hours into regening) on how much has regened, only a part of India got all the cool new ores.

I know this might seem impossible, but I got close to what I was hoping for, so I know it's possible. I'm hoping that someone out there might know the answer or at least another step to finding it. This is a really cool idea and I would appreciate any help. Thank you.

NOTE All help is appreciated, but please don't ask me to delete chunks in MCEdit. I understand that I can delete chunks to get new chunks with modded stuff, but that's not what I'm looking for.

Are there any differences between the personality quizzes in Rescue Team DX and the original Rescue Team games?

Posted: 06 Jun 2021 04:00 PM PDT

In the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series of games, you first take a personality quiz to determine the Pokémon that the player character will be.

Today, the demo for the newest installment in the series, Rescue Team DX, was released, which is a remake of the original Red/Blue Rescue Team games. As per series tradition, the demo (and presumably the full game) opens with a personality quiz.

Since this is a remake/remaster of Rescue Team, I'm assuming that the DX quiz is mostly copied over from those games, including the questions and the personality determination methodology. But there could have been alterations made, again because it is a remake. So my question is: Are there any differences between the personality quizzes in Rescue Team DX and the original Rescue Team games?

Is there any way to tell how close you are to removing the black smear locking your second full pink life orb when you resurrect too much?

Posted: 06 Jun 2021 05:02 PM PDT

https://sekiroshadowsdietwice.wiki.fextralife.com/Resurrection

According to this article and from personal experience (thanks Lady Butterfly), if you keep dying too much you are locked and prevented from being able to use your second life orb even if it is full.

Is there any way in game to tell how close or far you are from being allowed to use it? Preferably without having to spend a pink life orb and then going on a killing spree until the locking ink smear goes away.

How does Fl4k's "All My BFFs" skill work?

Posted: 07 Jun 2021 12:19 AM PDT

Fl4k has an ability "All My BFFs" (in the Jabber tree) whose effect (when maxed out) reads:

Allies share 50% of Fl4k's Health Regeneration.

Who counts as "allies"? Just other players and their pets, or NPCs too?

What does "share" mean here? Do I gain less health when joined by an ally than I would when playing solo? Does my ally gain less health when we are joined by a third ally than they would if it were just the two of us?

Do allies need to be near me to receive the bonus?

Does this apply to all passive health regeneration I get (such as, perhaps, a shield that grants regen), or just to skills that grant health regeneration?

How do I increase render distance for ground targets?

Posted: 06 Jun 2021 08:04 AM PDT

I have been playing War Thunder for quite some time now, and when playing air simulator battles, I have a tough time spotting enemy ground units, since they only seem to render at 800 m - 1 km distances.

I am playing on movie settings except for SSAO, which is set to off.

So my question is, is it possible to increase the render distance? Is there any tweak or any setting that I missed?

Deleting a user account on the PlayStation 3

Posted: 06 Jun 2021 09:03 PM PDT

My son is giving away his PS3.

If he deletes himself as a user on the PS3, will this affect his PS4 account or his PSN account? He has one PSN account which he used on both devices. He does not want to give it away with his personal info on it, and accidentally allow access to his PSN account.

How can I play Civilization V multiplayer with one copy

Posted: 06 Jun 2021 09:24 PM PDT

I want to play Civilization 5 with my younger brother. I own a copy of the game, but my brother does not. On Steam I have shared the game with him, but he can not play the game at the same time as me. Me and my brother are on the same WiFi. I have heard there is a way to do this which has something to do with offline mode?

In the Harry Potter Lego Years 1-4 for iPad (IOS) what are the two hidden challenges?

Posted: 06 Jun 2021 09:08 PM PDT

For the IOS Version of this game, there are 34 achievements which are listed in the Game Center. Two of those are hidden challenges. I found out what one of them was, which is called Silence Please! and I completed it but no one seems to know what the other one is.

Would be very grateful if you could help because it has been bothering me for some time now and I would love to have achieved everything in the game! Thank you!

Why can't I remarry after my husband died?

Posted: 06 Jun 2021 11:01 PM PDT

In The Sims 2 Double Deluxe, my husband just died.

I have tried everything but nothing is working and I can't find anyone who has had the some problem.

Is GTA Online protected by an anti-cheat engine?

Posted: 06 Jun 2021 11:33 PM PDT

I play regularly on GTA Online with my mates, in the last couple of weeks we almost already encounter cheaters while in a public session. They can do whatever they want which is very annoying (and being always in passive mode to protect ourselves is not funny), so we are asking ourselves if GTA Online is cheat-protected ?

Why does Event Horizon affect Vladimir while in Sanguine Pool?

Posted: 06 Jun 2021 05:30 PM PDT

Why does Vlad get stunned of Event Horizon (Veigar E) while in Sanguine Pool?

And are there any other Area of Effect Crowd Control spells that can affect him during the duration of his Sanguine Pool?

Sanguine Pool
(Active): Vladimir sinks into a pool of blood becoming untargetable for 2 seconds and slowing enemies above him by 40% for 1 second. Additionally, he deals magic damage every half second to them and heals himself for 12.5% of the damage done.
Cost: 20% of current health
Radius of AoE: 300

As far as I know, it's the only spell in game that can affect Vladimir during Sanguine Pool.

Wave list or patterns for MW3 map Resistance

Posted: 06 Jun 2021 05:59 PM PDT

Is there a pattern how enemies appear in MW3 Survival Model map Resistance? If not are there any list about each wave?

I am asking this because this list would help me and other beginners as well to decide what to buy how to prepare for next round?

How does Skyrim determine if a dungeon is "cleared"

Posted: 06 Jun 2021 05:59 PM PDT

Skyrim adds an awesome feature, that lets you know if you have cleared a dungeon or not. This saves a lot of time and effort, because you do not have to revisit every dungeon you have been through like in Oblivion. Now I was wondering, how does the game determine if you have completed/finished/cleared the dungeon. I figured there are some options, including:

  1. You have killed every enemy
  2. You have obtained every 'important' treasure
  3. A combination of the above

There might be even more options that I have not thought of. Can anyone shed some light on how the system works out if you have finished a dungeon?
