Oh darn, I missed my opportunity to join in the fun. Oh well, maybe I'll get a chance later on. Keep those great turn-reports coming! I really appreciate all the time you guys spend putting them together.

Hmmm, it could be the third time for me too -- I wasn't paying careful enough attention. And I agree, the overwrite notice is annoying. The quicksave's purpose is to save to a temporary file... otherwise I would just do a normal save. iamphp: I didn't get the error box you mentioned. All I...

I've noticed that with the new patch, the game now asks for confirmation if you are quicksaving, since it will overwrite the last quicksave. However, now I get a crash to desktop (CTD) if I quick save more than once on a given session. Anyone else have this problem? Rabi

I was bummed that I was too late to join the roster, so I'd love to be on the alternate alternate list. I am an SG noob. Rabi

What are the costs for the civics? The "maintenance" costs on the city screens only calculates costs due to number of cities and distance from palace. Civics costs are separate, as are unit costs and inflation. Hit F2 to see where all your expenses are coming from.

I'm downloading now. Working so far for me.

Just a minor correction: as you correctly state later in your guide, forests provide 0.4 health bonus. Probably just a typo in the quoted paragraph, where you wrote 0.5. All that aside, a fantastic and thorough write-up. Thanks very much for sharing it! Rabi

I don't know if I missed this in your previous posts, but couldn't you rush airports into your invasion cities? Then you can airlift in as many units as you want (well, one from each airport on the mainland) for even faster conquest. The limit of one INCOMING airlift per turn only applies if...

Great write-ups guys! Very informative. Quick question: I haven't been able to get my Ironworks to work, and I know other people have had similar problems. (The screen says you're supposed to get 100% bonus from resources, but it doesn't actually appear in the shields tally on the city view...

Distraction pointed me to this posting. I have the same problem too. Like most everyone else, my card is an nVidia GeForce 4 MX 440. Incidentally, I tried installing new card drivers when I first saw the bug. It didn't help, but it gave me the black screen instead of terrain. I then...

Thanks for letting me know I'm not the only one! I missed the bug reports forum, and using different search terms in searching the forum didn't give me any info. And like everyone else who posted there, I'm using an nVidia Geforce MX 440 (64 MB). Thanks again! Rabi

Hi all, This isn't as serious as the issues a lot of you are having, but I'm wondering if anyone else has this problem, and if there's an easy fix: In the City display, the map tiles are supposed to show how much of food, production, and commerce you're supposed to get. On mine though, I...

Just wanted to join in by saying this has been an awesome read. Keep the updates coming!! By the way, what settings do you use for the governors? I never use governors, but I let slip so many rioting cities that I'm starting to think it might be more efficient that way, especially with so...

Thanks for the wonderful analysis Ision. (I enjoyed the Egyptian analysis too!) I have a small question though. You mentioned that the industrious trait has been "toned down". Can you explain what you mean by that? Thanks, Rabi

I have two questions. Thanks in advance for your help. 1) I am playing India, and the Chinese and Persians have a MPP. I currently have 20-turn peace treaty with the Persians that is about to end. First, I trade coal for spices with China. Then, I renegotiate peace but do not agree to it...

I've looked around the forums and couldn't find an answer to this question: I had one city near floodplains/wheat, and was pop-rushing it for units. When the unhappiness there was getting too high, I pop-rushed a settler, and built a city nearby. I then pop-rushed another settler and...
