been a month or more since I played as I was subject to a CTD when hitting next turn. Looks like that bug is fixed (and I'm most happy). Thing is, I don't remember where the great works page is. I've got great writers to place but have no idea how to do so. civilopedia wasn't much help nor...

i'm trying to locate my spies on the map. one of my spies, Pasqualino, shows he is 'awaiting assignment' and his current location is $CityName$. any idea how i can locate this guy and do something with him?

so I generated enough great admiral points to get my first in my first game and he spawns in a four tile lake. Is there any way to get this guy to the open sea. what a drag...

Just rolled up an Emperor game as Siam and find myself with Austria as a close neighbor. Since she can buy the City States I'm seeking to ally with (early intent is a diplomatic victory), does she have to go? Also, if she does buy some city states and I later capture them, can they be liberated?

Just started a new game with Pacal - king, continents, temperate, wet. My starting location is jungle and marsh heavy (nearly every tile), completely river deficient, and very few hills (none in the capital). Note: this turf extends dominantly to the west and south. Palenque is coastal -...

So I build the UN. I have the top population and Gilgamesh has the second highest. I'm trying to figure out why the vote for Secretary General is between myself and Tokugawa. Gilgamesh built the apostolic palace but I don't ever recall such a thing interfering with the UN secretary general...

So I just built the UN in a game. The next turn, elections come up for a Secretary General. I win the election and then the election for the AP comes up between Boudica and Sury. It's my understanding that the UN is supposed to obsolete the AP but that didn't seem to happen in this game...

In almost every game I play, I have a problem choosing a tech order after nailing liberalism (which I am the first to in most of my games, Nationhood/Astronomy are usually the techs of choice). All of the techs in the row with liberalism and the next three rows to the right (not going to name...

It's a tech I usually don't go after early in the game. I've never founded Judaism and usually don't get to run OR early on as the AI is usually pretty reluctant to part with the tech. Since a lot of players here, myself included, typically avoid early religion aside from the founding of...

Playing for the first time as Napoleon (and I've had the game since it was released) on big and small/monarch/normal speed. The mainland is big but my neighbors are toku, monty, alex, and poor roosevelt. I've met Sury (just off the mainland) and there is one more AI out there yet to be...

Never really used subs much in Civ, but a recent game has changed my opinion on them. On the right tech path, they can be a dominant naval unit for a long time. The following elaborates on my new found appreciation for U-Boats. In a current game I'm playing as Sury (Khmer), I found myself...

I'm looking for some input on what people do with early great merchants. In my current game, I'm playing as Sury for the first time. His traits are pretty good and I really like all the early cheap buildings he gets. My start opened with a nice coastal capital (2 fish, 1 clam, 1 cow) and...

As I continue to be too chicken to move up to emperor difficulty as a default, I've been trying to find new and interesting things to do on monarch. I've become comfortable enough on this level to mostly do what I want and rarely find myself threatened by an AI in a position to steal a victory...

Finished a game less a week ago in what was my first attempt with playing the French. A little strange since I've been playing Civ IV since it came out but anyway; the leader of choice of here was DeGaulle. Being charismatic and Industrious, I only knew from the onset I would be building some...

Has anyone out there not finished this building intentionally while investing almost all (if not all) hammers into it and then switch builds so someone else builds it to take a lump sum of gold for not completing a wonder? As the purpose of this wonder is to make gold, I was curious if the...

So I'm playing a game with Joao II. It's going poorly but I'm the first to optics and having fun with carracks. I come across Victoria on another continent and notice York is the Holy City for Confucianism, Taoism, Christianity, and Islam. She's got a total of five cities on that continent...

current game: Sitting Bull, monarch/hemispheres/normal. Used a feudalism slingshot to field an army of assault longbows. Over a dozen times, a drill IV longbow with >90% chance of victory (against archers/chariots) was shot down dealing little to zero damage (always attacking, not defending)...

Feudalism is a technology I usually come across very late. In any game, I'm certainly the last one to acquire the tech typically in some form of trade with one of the backward tech AI. Like most, I like to be offensive and would rather rush to maces to crush enemy longbows; vassalage and...

So, who's been clobbered by the statue of zeus? I want to see some screenshots. I'll post some of my own but I'm not at home presently. I played a game with Boudica and was looking forward to constant warfare. Pangaea map, my direct neighbors were gilgamesh and charlemagne. Took out...

Two things: 1. What is indicated in the column that is headed with the red circle next to the trade routes. 2. Anyone else notice that in the culture column, the turns to 'pop' borders (indicated in parenthesis) isn't always correct. Maybe I'm missing something. I didn't find this...
