The discussion in this thread made me start to wonder when you should settle on riverside gold. At first I thought it would only make sense when you have multiple gold tiles available (as in that example), but the more I think about it, the more sense it makes even if you just have a single gold...

Settings are immortal, standard, normal, no huts or events. You're Saladin and it's turn 22. I play one of the random map scripts, so the map type could be any one of pangea, terra, hemispheres, or fractal. Save and screenshot attached. What's your near-term and longer-term strategy? I'm...

I'm seeing something I don't understand in my current game, and I'm wondering what's going on, or if I'm misunderstanding something. I don't seem to be getting any benefit to religious buildings from Sistine Chapel, even though the city screens imply that I am. I noticed it when I switched from...

Just downloaded HR for the first time (0.9.5). Is there a way to restore the interface font to the default? I'm playing on a Mac, if that matters. Thanks.

It's Emperor, large map, Epic, 870 AD, I'm Toku, 7 cities, on a landmass with Joao (15 cities) and Justinian (8 cities). We're all good buddies. I'm about even in tech, I have CS and just got Machinery, so I can build Samurai. Don't have horses, or much in the way of commerce or happy resources...

I've been playing at Emperor for a while, and while I have a lot of success, there is a certain class of starts that I seem to do poorly on. I'm not sure exactly how to characterize them, but I think the attached save is an example. I've attached saves at 4000 BC and 1800 BC. Leader is Lincoln...

I'm playing a game as Hannibal, and I'm capturing Egyptian cities. The monuments are surviving in captured cities (see attached screenshot). I didn't think that was possible, because they are culture buildings, but maybe it's because they're the Egyptian UB? Or is there some other explanation...

In the attached screenshot, I have a copper mine hooked up to my second city. But I have access to copper in my capital, and the two cities are connected by a trade route. They aren't connected by a road or a river, and I haven't yet teched sailing. So why do I have access to copper in my...

What's the AI Tech bonus at Emperor in BTS? In particular, if I want to found Hinduism, does it matter if I work a 1 :commerce: tile, a 2 :commerce: tile, or a 3 :commerce: tile? (Assume I'm starting with Mysticism.) Or will I lose a race even working a 3 :commerce: tile?

Two questions: (1) Is there an article or guide that explains exactly what all the city governor buttons do, including all their side effects? Some I think I understand (emphasize food, hammers, or commerce, for example), but others are just total mysteries (emphasize science in particular)...

I have a question about the mechanism for religion spread. Something happened in a game that I didn't think was possible: a foreign religion spread to one of my cities before I had met any of the other civs. I thought religions spread along trade routes (whether borders were open or not), but...

Hi This is probably a FAQ, but I didn't see anything here when poking around. I got a new Mac (a 27" iMac) and I've got everything installed except the most important thing ... Civ. I installed Vanilla from DVD ok, but if I try to install BTS or run the 1.74 Updater, it won't let me upgrade...

Any tips for dealing with late-game espionage by the AI? I have a game now (emperor) that I'm in a competitive space race in that I'll lose (by a lot) because of espionage. Essentially every turn something is destroyed in one of my cities, including SS parts. The really irritating thing is that...

Anyone done a PBEM game with PC players in 3.19? I'm trying to play in a game starting up and can't open the save. I could open a test save, but not the game save. I get a protected assets error: "The save file you have selected is protected to ensure that the assets in your mod folder have...

... in 1295 AD. See the attached screenshot. Not an unusual game, emperor, standard size map with six opponents, aggressive AI. But no one bothered to build the 'mids. I didn't even realize they hadn't been built, so I built them on a lark. I'm playing as Willem and wiped out two AIs early...

What determines whether you can spread a corporation to a foreign nation? I have a game where I have founded the only corp (Mining Inc), and I've successfully done some spreading, but in some territories I can't spread it, or I can't spread it any more. The AIs are not running state property, so...

What's the half-life of a spy in enemy territory? Does it matter if the spy is moving or not? Does it depend on my EP ratio with the AI? Is there anything I can do to lengthen it or the AI can do to shorten it? Thanks.

Simple question. I upgraded from Vanilla to BtS. In my current game I'm getting +2 :hammers: for all my religious buildings (running a state religion) and I can't figure out why. They all show as +1 :), +2:science: and +2:hammers: in the city screen. (I built the U. of S.) I think I've gone...

Hi, I installed Security Update 2008-005 last night (released July 31, 2008, runs on top of 10.5.4) and now Civ crashes on startup every time. This is Vanilla, on an Intel iMac. It doesn't even get to the splash screen, just bounces in the dock, then the crash window pops up. I re-installed...

I play Vanilla, if it matters. According to the UI, the keyboard shortcut for chopping forest or jungle is option-c. This doesn't work on either my iMac or my MBP. The workers sometimes move, but they don't chop. Does this shortcut work for anyone else? If not, is there a valid keyboard...
