    Archipelago Early exploration, expansion, and city placement

    I've been playing Civ 5 on and off since release but I have almost always played on continents or pangaea maps. I just purchased G&K so I thought I would pay on an archipelago to try out the improved naval mechanics. I quickly realized that I am going to need to change my early build order and...

    What to do with unused books?

    My high school recently did minor renovations to our library. In doing so they made all shelving half height and removed a couple hundred books from the shelves.

    Who pays for Gaza's electricity?

    I know Israel supplies about 70% of Gaza's electricity and the fuel for Gaza's power plant. But does this mean Gaza is buying electricity from Israel or Israel is giving it to them for free.

    I'm so broke!

    well the title pretty much explains it. I'm having trouble keeping my economy afloat although I am doing very well score wise. I'm forced to have the tech slider down to 50% and -13 per turn. I'm playing on prince level. I suspect that rapid expansion is what is causing this but I don't know how...

    Map making question

    I was wondering if there was any simple way to take a small section of a map or a map you made and transfer it to a larger map. I see that you could if you went through and changed every single Y= and X= but is there an easier way? possibly with some sort of macro?

    Unit modeling

    So I was thinking it would cool to try out making my own units but I don't really know where to start. I have heard people mention the program 3ds Max. I saw they have a 30-day trial but the program costs $3000! If I want to get into unit making where should I start?

    Decentralization or Mercantilism?

    Not sure if I should be running the Decentralization or Mercantilism civic. Mercantilism costs about 10 more when I'm running it. I'm pretty sure the specialists are worth it though. I don't know what no foreign trade routes means though. any insight would be good, heres a save if it helps.

    So I'm playing the Greek World scenario that ships with vanilla civ IV on prince. Then, all of a sudden I get rained on by barbarians! 13 of them come at me.
