You need 5 Banks to build Wall Street - if you later drop down to 4 Banks total, do you lose Wall Street? If you build an improvement that requires a particular government, do you lose that improvement when you switch governments? If you have an improvement automatically spawned in your...

For a while now, I've been getting that "stop, you're downloading too fast" error when I try to download ANY unit off the download screen ... even when it's the first unit I've tried all day. I don't get this error when it's a direct download, only when I go to the seperate screen. Any...

I've noticed some quirkiness in how this flag works with Wonders. Wondering if anyone else has any experience/advice on this. For example, you need 5 Banks to build the small wonder Wall Street. No problem. If you try the reverse, though, requiring Wall Street in order to be able to build...

If you've modded WWI & II in your scenario, what units are you using for generic Infantry? The regular Firaxis Infantry is more WWII, right? If so, what do you use for WWI (or vice versa)? I've got a series of units I'm already using, but I'd like to see how other folks handle these eras...

With all the great Undead units we've got out there, I can't believe no one's made a MUMMY yet!!

There's a great Minuteman unit out there; I'd like to have a Wonder that pops him. Anyone have any ideas?

Can you have multiple wonders flagged as "center of empire?" Anyone ever tested to see if this works? Personally, just 1 Forbidden Palace is not enough, particularly on monster-sized maps. If I have 3 or 4, will each one work correctly?

Can this be done? I'm trying to host a PBEM of War in the Pacific w/ me as the Japanese (Player 5). Everytime I hit launch, it goes to the first human player. Anyway I can host the game and still play as Japan?

Can't believe I'm only now thinking of this. Anyone planning a Navy SEAL out there? As my MOD nears completion, I find that's something I'm lacking in the modern era. I've got Spies flagged as Tactical Missiles so I can smuggle 'em aboard subs, and I'm thinking about using the Commando unit...

Can the game handle having more than one wonder that acts as a Forbidden Palace? I'm using a humongous map for my mod, and I'd like to have different "centers" for my empire.

Nothing esoteric, nothing hypothetical - this is something that (if you are like me) actually does affect your daily life.

Is Aaglo taking requests? I'm tweaking the Mesopotamian scenario to include mythical/legendary/biblical stuff, and the idea of Trumpeters just sprang into my mind. Plan to use them as artillery - instead of a bombard animation, they blow their trumpets and destroy (or at least damage) cities.

Quick question -- If I disable Scientific Leaders in my scenario, will Great Leaders be able to rush Wonders again?

Alright, I've set The Manhatten Project as a Small Wonder, which allows ONLY you to use nukes (other civs have to build it for themselves to get nuke capability). To give a greater edge to the civ that builds it first, though, I want it to pop B-29 nuke bombers every X turns. No problems...

All my units with the "Ranged Attack Animation" flag checked have stopped holding their ground when they attack. The run right at the enemy, just like a unit that doesn't have that flag checked. Just checked it twice to make sure I wasn't seeing things. Anyone else seen this?

The Olympics are really big this year in Japan. One of my students asked me why there weren't any black swimmers, even from non-African countries like the US or England or France that have large black minorities. I didn't have an answer. Anyone out there know what's up with this? I'd like...

Is there a "Combat Report" in any multiplayer games, where I can go back and see the combat that happened to me during other players' turns? I fired up an e-mail game and got attacked - when my turn came back, I just had missing units. No messages of any combat, nothing. Any ideas? Also...

BeBro posted a great new version of the Huey (if you haven't got it, go get it!), and a small discussion of Vietnam War movies popped up. Not wanting to threadjack BeBro's great work, I've come and started an Off-Topic thread here. So, what's the best Vietnam War movie out there? I say...

When your Mobile SAM shoots down a plane, you see a missile launch and a death anim. When Flak shoots down a plane, all you get is a text message - no firing anim from the Flak, no death anim from the plane that gets shot down. Is this a bug, or is it Just The Way It Is?
