Well, you can ask them to leave immediately as well if you want. You can't make them leave unless they stay too long. However, the same applies to you - you don't have to leave just because they asked you to. I often build roads, irrigate, etc in AI territory.

I'm kind of guessing here, but I think there's rearrangement only when new working tiles are available. Note that in the case of foreign tiles being claimed, this needn't be at a normal expansion point - it happens when the culture points of the home city overtake those of the foreign city...

It happens if the second citizen arrives at the time of the first expansion. When the city expands the governor rearranges tiles even if he's turned off. If there's potential disorder he'll avoid it. To get round this you have to turn up the luxury rate before the city grows.

The rules governing ejection from territory (land or sea) are the same for the human as for the AI. The length of time a unit/force is allowed in enemy territory before being ejected depends on the size and strength of the force and proximity to cities, I think. My empty galleys are able to...

Not true. As of PTW 1.27 and all patches of recent memory, you can give away cities at any time. What you can't do is buy or sell them. @swilhelm73: 1) No. 2) A reasonable chance? Probably not. 3) Yes, that would work, but how much they'd give you for peace after you've only taken a...

Of course they're cautious. They've only just met you! Seriously, this article should go a long way toward explaining their attitude to you.

Voted yes. I think this is the single biggest improvement they could make to the mechanics of the game. Less micromanagement for the human, and it would surely improve the performance of the AI civs.

This appears to have changed with the latest patch (1.27f). It now fills all empty slots with question marks. I'd always wondered what the rule was for when question marks were shown as opposed to empty slots - your theory about known civs was the first I'd seen - but I guess I won't have to...

I voted Histograph. To do this you have to prevent the AI winning by Space, Diplo or Culture, and at the same time avoid Domination yourself.

My experience is this: It goes to the nearest city. In the event of a tie, it's either random or predetermined by some other factor I don't know about, eg age of city. Which city is working the tile has no effect. I know this last point to be true having tried and failed to direct the...

Trev, culture in your nearby cities isn't relevant to the flip-back-chance of your captured city, unless it can help that city take more of its 21-tile radius from the enemy. Have a look at the flip-calculators

Your local culture - that is, culture generated in the captured city - must surely be zero, no?

@wildWolverine: 1) As you have discovered, Cavalry don't defend too well against Cavalry. You'll need Riflemen to hold the cities. Perhaps you need more boats? 2) As Egypt you have one-turn anarchies. Personally I'd go for Republic, which should make the war weariness manageable in the...

This thread details the workings of the FP and corruption in general.

@Turner_727: I don't know the exact rules, but surely it's no surprise that the AI considers a cavalry a lot more threatening than a spear/settler combo? I believe the ejection rules were the subject of a fairly thorough investigation in a thread that was looking at AI 'cheats'. It found no...

In my experience Joan tends to give better deals than most other civs. Perhaps the techs you are offerering are known to lots of civs, whereas Joan may have a monopoly on the tech you're after.

AFAIK, exactly the same rules apply to the AI and human as far as ejection from territory is concerned. That is, the same conditions lead to your option to tell them to get them out or declare war as do to your troops being automatically removed if you don't declare war. Try wandering through...

Played a few. Won some, lost some. In one I got the Iron Works! It got a bit too easy after that. I didn't bother building a hydro plant, built the Hoover Dam instead!

No, you no longer pay upkeep for existing granaries when you get the Pyramids (same continent proviso). Might as well sell them, though.

Not necessarily. You can fight a defensive war in your own borders without triggering the MPP. And if you were to get MPP with France, Egypt and America...
