anyone know how to retrieve world seed # ?

I just noticed my game started doing this two days ago and I don't know how to fix it. I always turn my research slider down with one turn to go to save any gold possible. I put it at the lowest possible percentage that will still allow discovery of the tech on the next turn. Now my game is...

This is my #1 strategy and it has always worked on each level through Monarch. Now, on Emporer level success isn't guaranteed since I'm usually too far behind in tech. As a human player negotiating with the AI is somethig that is increasingly more necessary each time you advance to a higher...

It's true. I just cleared a forest outside the base radius, but inside the future "expanded" radius of one of my perimeter cities, and the city harvested 10 shields even though the lumber was not yet officially part of my territory. I had to clear the forest in order to get irrigation to the...

I'm not quite sure here... can a great scientist be spawned for your civ if some AI civs have a tech you don't? IOW if we (Scandinavia) discover Engineering first, but the Spanish discover Monotheism one turn prior, does that eliminate the chance of a great scientist for Scandinavia...

I'm stuck and I need help. I need to remove the display in the lower right hand corner of the screen because I can't see my unit or the terrain that's behind it. I can't scroll east. I'm playing on a fixed map. I did post this in technical support but no one is there to help me so I...

I just noticed this recently. I was playing a game a couple of months back and when I directed the Science Advisor to Mathematics he granted me the tech instantly and for free then asked for the next tech to research. Because this worked in my favor I naturally didn't complain. I thought...

Uhm, I can't believe I'm asking this but I have to admit I'm not sure. Is it possible to build Great Wonders when mobilized for war? Specifically Is it possible to change production from Army to Universal Suffrage during war-time mobilization? I have five turns till Army completion with...

I'd guess this strategy tip would be well-known but I'm not sure so I'll elaborate. Although I've only posted a couple of times in the last three years I do still play a lot. I'd consider myself a near-expert. To move your units all the way around the world in one turn: Have your empty...

A few days ago I saw a thread titled "Unofficial patch for Vanilla" by Civdude86 I believe. I wanted to post there but had to log off. Now I can't find that thread. Can someone help me? Thanks.

Anyone know the requirements for gifting units to a friendly neighbor. I overbuilt work boats and have one extra Im trying to give to Louis XIV. Red print says Louis XIV won't accept. The year is 1700. Noble level. Yet he is freindly. I'm Rome. We're both Hindu. We have open borders...

Can someone tell me if it's possible to have all the religions in a single city? Does that city have to be your capital? Must it meet a certain minimum population? Can you do it in multiple cities? And can your cities reach 100% worship? Or does a tiny percentage remain atheist forever?

Build airfield? All right then... where's build port? Hmm. I often thought of ways to secure resources on a distant continent without having to build a city there. I never ACTUALLY did it but in my current game I may be able to. Never tested it but I assume an airfield connected by road to...

Hello all... I've missed this place in the six weeks I was disconnected from the web... but hey, I still had my civ... the greatest strategy game ever! I noticed something in a recent game i hadn't noticed before... when you mobilize for war all your 1000 year old cultural improvements...

It is true that a Great Wonder in a city that gets razed is lost forever, right? So I was wondering... Let's say the Manhattan Project is lost soon after it's built. Would any already existing ICBMs be lost? What about any under construction? If you're a hater of nuclear weapons you...

This is the second time this has happened to me. I log in and I can't post because I'm not a regestired user, or somethimg. I had to request password sent to me in my email. Why? I usually always enter the site and post right away with no trouble. But now, for the SECOND time, I could not...

I used an auto-save in my current game when my top three cities went into civil disorder. I had twelve citizens each in my top three cities. I have three luxuries. Two I own. The third I just began importing from the Celts on the previous turn. Prior to that I was using the lux slider at...
