Can it not be done?

There will always be people making cracks. Its fun. Pure and simple.

Maybe there is no "no-cd" crack because.

A. Civ IV comes on DVD.
B. It doesn't require a no-dvd? eg. make a copy of your original disc and run virtual cd hide or a similar utility, that should do the trick .. besides, that's a LOT easier than spending days "cracking" something that doesn't require cracking...

It asnt been cracked cuz of SDAPI. Im pretty sure. They just changed the calc algo in Civ4. Another 2 months of ripping.

I'm not that good at the technical stuff, but I'm in a position I can easily hide a few games in my sleeve, due to my job I get a discount on games that makes it allmost free for me!

but I don't get it if people are whining about cracks! I admit it's a decent discussion to hear peoples opinion if it's worth the trouble ot crack these latter games which are seemingly more problematic to be cracked! but people should be either VERY SMART! so shut up an wait for the crack to be released even if it takes months! (if you have a downloaded version) if not then 19 out of 20 persons here are simply here cause of the Downloaded version!

I admit I had times where I simply downloaded games... why? Cause I got fed up with paying a reasonable amount of money for a game that turned out SHJITE! and I mean so bad that it was no way nice enough to replay it for even half an hour! Now I've finished my education I have a job I'm proud of which makes a lot of things easier for me in live, but STILL! I expect something in return for the amount of money I pay for a game! and Civ 4 as well as Football manager 2006 satisfy me on a basis that I know I will spent many hours playing!

I think a discussion on the price of certain games if it's worthy of the game is a bigger point of discussion than the discussion offered in this thread.. though this is a "crack files" forum so.. up to you guys.

That is why they have demo's, or for some countries, game rental shops! So you can try the game before spending those hard earned dollars.
But good to hear you now have a job and can legally purchase those games.
