    Techs that alter improvements won't work properly

    I first noticed this problem in a game where I had just constructed the Hanging Gardens. When I built a new city, it would gain the health bonus, but not the population increase - that only happened in existing cities. Okay, I thought it was an intended feature, as it wasn't completely...

    No music for Hanging Gardens

    I don't mean that the music isn't playing - it's not there. I checked the directory that stores all of the sounds associated with the completion of the building (including Great Wonders) and there isn't a file for it. Can anyone confirm that such a file exists? Was it just not installed...

    Errors in manual?

    Just browsing through the manual, I found some rather strange things in the Resource section. Pigs are listed as needing a hunting camp to access. Shouldn't that be a pasture? Deserts are listed as gaining commerce from rivers. (They can't - they become Floodplains.) Clams, Crabs...

    Religion increases GPR 100%!

    No wonder there's such a rush to found the religions... In the discussion thread about his last preview, Solver has confirmed that cities which practice the state religion of the civilization that they belong to will experience a 100% increase in the birth rate of Great People. It's clear...

    Help re: identifying thing in screenshot

    Look carefully at the forest square at the bottom of the screen. It's clear it's not a normal forest... but I can't tell what's there. It doesn't obviously appear to be any resource I'm aware of. Does anyone know what it is?

    Which tech. make the Oracle, again?

    I'm a little confused... the Pre-Release description of the technologies indicates that the Oracle Wonder is potentialized by both Priesthood and Meditation. Can anyone confirm which of the two it is?

    How will *you* alter the game rules?

    I'm willing to withhold judgment on how well the changes to the game mechanics actually work and are balanced. But there are a few things about CivIV that I simply don't like and I intend to change as soon as possible. My changes will probably be as follows: 1) The Romans will become...

    What *are* the Civilization Traits?

    GameSpot's preview of the civilizations and their leaders has this to say about Gandhi: The CivFanatics CivIV Pre-Release Info. section lists Gandhi as being Organized and Creative. What gives? Has the game's structure been changed, or is one of the two sites out-of-date -- and if so...

    What's with the exclusive civics?

    Looking over the civic chart, I see that we'll have to choose between Representation and Universal Suffrage, as well as Nationhood and Freedom of Speech. Last time I checked, these concepts weren't mutually exclusive. Why are they exclusive states in CivIV?

    Now that you can't switch production...

    ...are there many reasons not to trade technologies? Previously, selling a technology that granted the ability to construct a particularly potent Great Wonder was a risk -- if they were trying to build another Wonder and were beaten to it, they could switch to the alternate Wonder and gain a...
