If you have an improvement on that tile, you have to deconstruct it first (remove the mine, farm, whatever is there), with a builder. Also, has to be in the radius of a city, because it doesn't generate any tourism or gold unless a citizen "works" it.

In my current game I've been using a scout to block a Chinese settler for hundreds of years at this point. And the settler is on a coast, he could back up 1 tile, and take to the water and not be blocked anymore, but it advances, sees my scout, backs up, and then next turn does it all over again.

I like to use Siphon Funds as a way to level up spies, but ever since the Spring patch, it doesn't seem like the AI is building Commercial Districts anymore. I'm playing a standard map, standard speed, King. My first spy went looking for a mission, and only two AI opponents had a commercial...

Strangely enough, I just played a game as Sumeria, and I got the last prophet, even though Arabia is in the game. Apparently the goofy AI running Arabia made a beeline for a prophet, and picked one up early. I was quite deep in the game and noticed that there was still a prophet available (I'd...

I was trying to play a peaceful game, but France walked an unescorted settler righ under my nose. What can I do? I grabbed the settler. I took a city from them in 800 BC or so, and I'm still getting denounced for occupying one of their cities in 1860 AD. Look lady, I've had the city longer...

My last game, I was the Aztec (with a Tundra start!, wha?) I had a large wasteland to my south and I was too lazy to station enough troops down there to prevent barbarians from spawning. I discovered a single biplane can do a lot of damage to muskets and crossbows.

Ah, but the warmonger penalty for taking a city is huge. The AI was just avoiding that.

So, can you repair city defenses in the modern era? The city in question built both ancient and Renaissance walls, then I got Civil Engineering. Then I got into a war and some Japanese Subs torpedoed my city, damaging my outer defenses. I've looked through the build list (even all the way...

One of the promotions for units is the "scale cliffs" ability. Apparently Firaxis also needs to add the "rappel down cliffs" ability as well.

Once you've asked them to stop converting your cities, you can't ask them again for a fixed amount of time, I think it's 30 turns. They know you don't want them converting your cities, they simply don't care.

Apostles and inquisitors. I have one Apostle with the debater promotion, and 4 inquistors. I can kill any enemy Apostle in one turn (might take all of them ganging up, but I can do it). Missionaries can usually be killed with just 2 inquistors. This has the added benefit of reinforcing your...

Based on the way a Hoplite shreds its opponents, I would have to say the +10 bonus is applied when it shows up in the window.

I wonder if "being inside a city" renders the alert moot? That too would be bad, but it would make more sense than not seeing a Barbarian as an enemy.

I'd like to be able to trade great people Because if your Art slots are all full, you can't make anymore and trade them. I also hate the trade screen. I had two Javelins, one was Ancient, from a city state, the other was Medevial, from my neighbor. I wanted to trade away the Medevial one...

It's truly sad, I never noticed this project either. The AI has never gotten close to attacking a city of mine.

Cities can no longer receive yields from more than one regional building per type; they take the highest (ex. production from multiple Factories) Wow, knocked my capital down from 180 hammers to around 110.

You need a Melee unit to actually walk in and take the city. Ironclads and Destroyers might do as well. Heck, you could even invade from the sea with a scout and take it. But you need a melee unit, all you have are ranged units.

Toronto may be your favorite city state? Hands down Toronto is my favorite city state. No question.

Can you blame the AI for not creating neighborhoods? If that's where Partisans come from? I may cut down on the number of neighborhoods I build. Nuttin' but a bunch of troublemakers, I tell ya.

I prefer building Corps and Armies to merging them. After all, If it takes 6 turns to build an infantry, and 8 turns to build a Corps, why would I want to combine two infantry units I already created? I'll do it if pressed, but I like keeping the individual "divisions" that way, since I paid...
