    I've had that happen too... it may be trying to constantly reveal the fog of war but never hit the unknown terrain...

    Is combat for the 1337 only?

    Uh, the feature you speak of is already in place. This is what I do: Simply select your units, hit G (go-to mode), mouse over what you want to attack. The tooltip in the lower left will show you the combat odds (i.e., 16 vs 21.2) plus all the bonuses that apply on either side. Edit: as others...

    MEGA-GIGA ICBM is possible

    I tried this too. Seems like diplomatic penalty is immense. I got up to "-80 You nuked us!"

    Why is it so important that you found a religion?

    Simple: culture. You have a very limited number of cultural buildings unless your cities have religions, at least early in the game.

    What speaker configuration is the best quality?

    If you have a 7.1 speaker set, you want discrete. Discrete is basicly meaning your hardware will have 7 completley seperate audio channels for output. The opposite of discrete is matrixed, where the audio channels are combined into a smaller number and a seperate decoder (in the receiver/speaker...

    can you group units?

    Simply select a lot of units together using the shift key (they have little pictures right above the blue bar). The game remembers their grouping.

    64mb GeForce Graphics Card OK?

    It will probably run. 128MB is better though. Runs flawlessly on my GeForce 6600GT

    HELP!!! iam confused

    Your minimap which shows you where you are in the world does not expand until you reach the Calendar technology. A huge map generaly does have several continents, just you don't know about them yet. If you really want to see the world size, just fire up the worldbuilder ingame.

    Where is the promised "Permant alliance"?

    Yes. When you setup the game, there is a set of numbers next to the player type (1, 2, 3, etc...) If you want locked alliances from the getgo, you need to make two people the same team #.

    My New Computer.

    Dump the onboard graphics, go for a Nvidia GeForce 6600 or better. The cards are around $100 these days. At least 512MB ram, 1GB is even better. If you're going to buy a new computer, might as well buy one which will last :)

    Interesting Low-end Machine Experiment Results

    There does appear to be a memory leak in the game. They're the hardest bugs to hunt down by far, but its known. Some suggestions: don't run other stuff in the background. No IE, no AIM, not virus scanner, and empty out your system tray. How much ram does your laptop have? I don't feel the...
