Commodore got another Great Artist, so is likely less than 20 turns from a CV.

[Spoilers]Krill PB80 - The Long Road out of Eden

My humble submission for Ottawa scale scoring. If someone with a function version of Civ 4 wants to log in and get an actual screenshot, so much the better.
 As an aside, I'm now making 6,000 base bpt and I have the entirety of Plastics as overflow beakers with Apollo under construction. I'm too slow (There's more techs to research than turns Commodore needs to reach culture CV) but it's going to throw a spanner in the works for everyone else if war breaks out.
What on earth is that screenshot.

When running Civ4 on a Linux OS under Wine, there are a couple extra steps necessary to get it "translate" the yield icons properly. When Krill tried the same steps that worked e.g. for me (following Ramk's advice a couple years ago) they didn't work for him for some reason. Without them, you end up getting a display like the one shown, displaying a single bread slice (presumably the first tile-yield icon in the set) in place of each type of yield a tile produces: Instead of a food yield or a hammer yield or a coin yield, no matter the amount. (I think a six-hammer tile is actually a hammer centered on an anvil, for instance, which Krill's machine is rendering as a bread slice centered on a bread slice, indistinguishable from a regular bread slice.) I don't know why the steps that worked for me didn't work for Krill, and he presumably hasn't had time and bandwidth to investigate; fixing the graphics on a two-decade-old game when it might turn out to be a long, involved process isn't necessarily an important priority. The game works completely correctly; it's just a display bug. (And you can see the correct yields with the correct icons in the mouse-over information for the tile on the map - at least, I could before following the steps Ramk suggested, when I first installed Civ4 on my first Linux machine.)

Ref explained it well enough, but really I don't understand the extra steps needed to fix the graphics, but I don't need it fixed. It's not like I don't know the tile yields. I'm more annoyed at the extra steps I have to go through to take screenshots.
Ah, I think I've heard that before actually. Just a fresh jumpscare.
