286. You make crappy lists about Civilization IV. 287. You read crappy lists about Civilization IV.

Stinking system. It won't let me place this in here without 10 characters.

I'm aware of what imports and exports are. What I'm not aware of is the approximate number necessary to move from being penalized for a low amount of trades to gaining benefits from a high number.

I usually get a civilization to like me before I declare war and raze their cities.:D

I have a question. To what level do one's imports and exports have to be in order to be considered having a high level of them?

Here is a (possibly) new suggestion. Perhaps we should add the effects of demographic transition in the game after a city has reached a certain size so that the agriculture penalties are not applied to a modern era civilization that obviously can provide enough food for itself. Make it so that...

Oh, I see. Now I understand. I must look like an idiot at this point, but in my defense, I thought pacifist was referring to occupation and resettlement as being temporary as well when he or she said "like all the others."

If the bonus goes away, then why am I being told that the bonus is permanent for occupation and resettlement so long as I use them during the moment that I occupy or settle another city?

It doesn't really benefit me so I don't use it. The cost in population isn't worth it once cities are producing well. It's only useful on new or island cities, and they should typically be a minority in one's empire. Besides, one also has to worry about the anarchy phase that it creates and its...

How is it possible to be exiled? Do you just move your settlers and army to invade another land while abandoning your old one? Does it involve somehow switching to a vassal?

Interesting insight. I guess I could have used "one." Typically, I use that for mainly schoolwork, though. So I guess that I never thought about using it in an informal setting like that. One sounds too formal or philosophical when one uses one, and one also seems to stick out in that setting...

Oops. Forgot about that. Anyway, about the subject of viceroyalty. When do its effects come into play? Are they permanent like occupation and resettlement, or do they last only while viceroyalty is active?

They refers to more than one person. Rhye is not a they. Maybe if he had a few clones, then maybe he could become they, but he cannot become a they until that point.

1. Blockade 2. Avoid economic loss by blockade (needed for troop building) 3. Sea bombardment (Ships are more mobile than siege weapons) 4. Stop invasions of land (it's easier to kill a transport at sea than four infantry on land) 5. Attack far flung empires with a war of attrition...

I see. Well, the scenarios aren't that important to me. I mostly just play the more historical Earth ones like Earth 1000 A.D., and I probably wouldn't have time for all of the scenarios. I heard that some of the scenarios can be downloaded, though. Is that true? I also heard that the unique...
