Free markets went from low maintenance to medium maintenance. Why? State property went from no cost to low cost. That's OK I guess. I guess both will cost more, but state property will still be better to free market if you have a lot of cities. I guess I don't understand the changes...

I submitted a cultural victory. My first contribution to the HOF. After I submitted I saw the "check start file" option, and so I checked my start file. Everything was fine, except that it flagged my map as being a GOTM map. This makes no sense, since it wasn't a GOTM map. I played...

Anyone had any luck finding gold or silver or other minerals when you mine a hill? I think there is supposed to be a random chance that you find some when you mine, but I can't recall ever finding any this way. Maybe I'm just unlucky...:(

I never play as religious civs. I try to go for monothesism or code of laws or theology though. Inevitably, when I found my religion, it is founded in a city other than my capital. Usually, it is founded in my smallest city. I don't want my religion founded on some small city at the...

I don't know if anyone else has had this experience, but I found a major bug/exploit when negociating peace. When Japan offered me peace for $90, I demanded all of his cities except for his capital, all of his techs, and that he convert. He did not accept this, of course, and was SUPPOSED to...

I live in NYC. I talked to the local EB Games clerk this morning. She was very informative. My local EB Games will have it in stock tomorrow, but only for those customers that pre-order the game through the store. EB Games has a warehouse in Pennsylvania. The warehouse will ship the games...
