I bought both Civ4 and Warlords (about US$40 each), and both disks are in perfect shape. Unfortunately, the local distributor included some buggy cd-checking routine in the Warlords CD and after patching to 2.08 months ago it stopped working, and gave a (false) message like "insert correct CD/DVD". Luckily, I was able to get the 2.08 no-cd .exe from GCW, and could play again.

Now that 2.13 is up, I tried patching and got the same error message again. Until a no-CD .exe for 2.13 is out, I won't be able to play the updated version. That's what I got for supporting the local software industry. I can only hope that eventually they'll provide a fix. I went to their site and discovered that months later the international patch was released, they have a fixed official 2.08 patch.

Therefore, I'd be very happy if a 2.13 no-cd or fixed patch could be made available.

p.s. oddly enough, no such problem with the "vanilla" Civ - 1.61 and 1.74 run fine.
