1) Is there a point to having positive health/happiness in a city? Or is it good enough to keep it above 0. 2) Is it better to concentrate wonders into a single city or spread them out? I tried the latter in my last game and I seemed to get a lot fewer. Is there a guide to making great...

a) Is it worth turning off the option that tells workers not to build over existing improvements? Normally I wouldn't consider it, but in my last game I noticed that deer and pigs near my cities (but not within city radius) had forts built over them instead of the improvements they needed to be...

Does anyone else get the impression that random things in Civ 4 are heavily out of whack? I've played a few multiplayer games against my sister and certain things don't seem to work out evenly. Barbarians for example, when we have them turned on I get a small number coming at my cities from time...

1) What logic is the game using when it places those blue circles down to suggest good locations for a city? Most of the time I don't agree with it's logic as it suggests placing cities on desert squares or within range of other cities. Sometimes it suggests squares right next to where I think...

As much a I like Civ 4 (I played my first game yesterday) I was surprised to see that in reusing the Pirates! engine they've kept a bug that it had. I've got two monitors hooked up to my PC - my main monitor is a Samsung 172X 17" LCD, my other monitor is an old 19" Hewlett Packard. Civ 4 plays...

Are there any mods available for download that make combat more realistic with regards to modern units vs. ancient units? This is the single most annoying feature of Civ 3 and it puts me off the game entirely. I remember the first game I played, I was well ahead in the technology race when I...
