I am playing this, is there any way to save the game state? I haven't figured it out or, for that matter how to exit gracefully.

I wish that I knew what "game state meant, but saving is done by pressing esc at the mission control option and selecting "exit to desktop".

When you are in middle of the game... no matter what screen you are, tap "Esc" on your keyboard, that will pop up the menu, and there you'll see the save option!

What? Just hit escape and save the game? Then hit exit? I haven't played in a while, so I can't quite remember, but this seems most logical to me.

I do not know. But the program is not very good on Windows8. There are times the game will not allow you to make a move and require you to loose your queen..Other times it just locks up.

Oh well thank you for let me participate...you need two keys...use the first and turn the switch on, without starting the engine...wait 10 seconds and turn it off...then after 10/15 seconds, do the same with the second key, wait another 10 / 15 seconds...now it is the time for the new key...do the same you did with the first two keys...one light blinks 4/5 times with each key...then turns off...and turns on again without blinking, if the light stays steady, you failed...start the game again. My best wishes to help you.

I also love Civ IV. You have to go into the files and download it to your desktop. I believe you want the run ex file. That should do the trick, if not just email me and I will help you after work. topgram11@gmail.com

It turns itself off after a couple of minutes. There's no user book for the game but if you have questions, I'll try to help. I absolutely love this game. It's what I play just before bedtime to wind down for the evening.

You can most definitely use your old saves, the only difference between this game and the original release is that the DLC is included. The rest is the same. Hope this helps! :)

Yes You will have to restart from the beginning and no you cannot play previous saved from the original but make sure if you do get this excellent game you install the 2nd cd first before playing the 1st because there's a lot of different stuff on the the 2nd that doesn't include the 1st. I learned the hard way lol had to restart but this game is the best even tho I completed it about 3 times but its a lot to discover.

I actually returned this game and bought one with a backlit screen for my husband, who has been playing handheld solitaire for years. He has never complained about not being able to win. Never heard that one before. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

The player remembers where you were, and gives you the "option" of going back to the beginning. If you simply press stop and walk away, the players shuts itself off after a period of time---and when you power up again, it plays fro where you left off. Hope that helps.

If you play from the shortcut icon on your screen it wll not save the game you are playing, but if you re-insert the disc and play from the startup screen it will save.

BOB: Disable your anti virus, and delete the game, then keep your anti virus disabled and then re-download the game again, then activate your anti virus. Let me know, Please.

It does - you can choose to play the game persistently online in the menu and other players will pop into the map. Get ready for even longer load times though and in the end it still eats your save game. There definitely is on offline single player mode because I went in and changed the settings.

No, this is a real time game so there is no pause besides quitting to the main menu

Well, from what I know with little experience is that sometimes you can get a program to work by right clicking the game icon and selecting properties. Then go to compatibility at the top right and then select the box at the bottom of that screen that says "Privilege Level" for "Run as administrator. Otherwise I'd contact a tech with the game perhaps. Good Luck!
