Dexters - To my understanding, mousing over will show you the trade route, but will not show you how many spaces it will advance in the next turn. It's really quite ridiculous how unwieldy trade ships are. In one instance I was facing off against two Greek galleasses off my southern coast. How...

Governments do protect cargo ships. Maybe today it's not so much a big deal, but you should be able to compare today to peacetime in Civ-terms, some barbarian pirates are hardly worth holding up a patrolling navy over. Now think back to the British empire and the various trading companies...

It's a better civ for the most part. But civ is a bad game to begin with.

I see a lot of talk in these threads about wanting Romania or Australia or the Pueblo in the game, but I really don't see much talk about some unspoken-of African cultures. I feel like of the list of civs that make the Civ5 list, Morocco is really out of place. Why is the culture of Benin...
