I'm not much for books. I prefer looking up stuff in html, where I can bounce around using links. Is there a manual on a site somewhere to use as a reference? If you know of site with one, post it here (or die).

"History has remembered Samson as a hero after he committed suicide by destroying a religious building during a civilian festival killing thousands of people including the leaders of a regime that had occupied his homeland" Perhaps Samson was the first suicide bomber terrorist?

There needs to be a new trait - "Dumbfounded". :)

Technically, the game runs nearly flawlessly. As a pastime, it provides an engaging problem and entertaining challenges. But in the time it takes to complete a game, I could have washed my car, done my laundry, painted the living room, and cooked a great meal. Does it work? Only as a pastime...

Yeah, but think of it this way. Washington went to space. When he gets where he's going, he's gotta start over. If you get there after him, load up your spaceship with troops so you can anhilate him! Personally, I don't see why getting to space is a victory condition. There's nothing out...

Just like Chess, open quickly, develop smartly, get the initiative (better development) and keep it. If you're ahead in the science game, trade techs for techs, even if yours is more costly. If you're running low on cash, build economy and be self suffficient. If you're behind in culture, learn...

Join the Army. You can make real war that way, but you'll find that it can be VERY unhealthy.

Better: 80% science most of the time. Build courthouses, markets, banks, and grocers to increase income. Keep the people happy. The result is We Love the King Day -- no maintenance costs. Also, 50% now for 10 turns, then 50% later for 10 works out if you build an economic upgrade. But how...

Try this one: 1. Build the Manhattan project. 2. Nuke a couple enemies. 3. Build the United Nations. :)

And the winner is..... CharlesWatkins with the best answer, Settler. Give that man a cookie!

Spies useful? YOU BETCHA. Place a few in a city that's building a wonder. Let the opponent get almost done, then sabotage it. If you succeed, he wasted a bunch of time! HA HA HA HA HAHAAA!

"Yes, it always tells me to build settlers when there's no more room to expand. It's quite annoying, really." I thought so too, until I did it. I found out that there are pockets within your covered territory that are recommended places. Think of the city as a training ground or barracks...

Well, I'm on my way to my first victory. I have the highest score of anyone on the map. There are 84 turns left. I have 3 turns left to complete the Apollo Program. I have enough cities to build all of the SS items. The one that will take the longest to build is 25 turns. I have three of the Top...

I just can't get the hang of this game. I've read the manual twice. I've tried this and that. I've played numerous times only to be trashed -- 8 to 12 hours -- only to get pathetic scores for the top scores list. Ack! What am I suppose to do? I've tried ignoring requests to ally to go to war...

Well, thanks, but it's all so complicated and hard to keep track of! Sheesh! "The only consistency is the fact that you don't understand the game mechanics " Absolutely correct!

None of the above. I'll nominate Mickey Mouse, 'cause "he's the leader of the club that's made for you and me." :) erm... who is the Arabian leader? I forget everybody's name!

"..the whole missionary process gets VERY annoying, is it possible to make the religions spread on their own?" This indeed would be a great feature. That is what software is suppose to do -- handle menial tasks. I find this annoying too, along with the fact that a stack can't attack...

Also, a suggestion. In earlier editions of Civilization, there was an opportunity to see what the wonder provided AFTER it was built. It would be nice if the movie displayed the advantages of owning the wonder, so that I didn't have to go to the city or the Civilopedia to look it up. Make life...

THis is unfortunate. I don't assumed that any disrespect was intentioned, but it does screw up the distribution of religions. This should be addressed so players have equal access to all major religions. I don't quite understand religion in the game, either. The only advantages I can see are...

My in-game tech tree shows no dependency on Masonry for Monotheism. If I click directly on Monotheism with only Mysticism discovered, Polythesim and Masonry get highlighted as techs one and two, but Mining, which is a dependency on Masonry, does not get highlighted and researched. The above...
