    Gifting army to city-state

    So in my current game, I've got a runaway lead (score 1300 to 850 next highest civ), and am obviously going to win a spaceship victory. As the endgame progresses, the Songhai attacked my oldest city-state ally, their neighbor Ragusa. When this happened previously I simply paid the Songhai...

    Founding too close to their borders warning?

    I have a question in regards to AI diplomacy. When an AI approaches you after you've founded a new city and warns that it is too near their border, which is worse: telling them you're sorry, and you won't do it again, (and then later doing it again), or telling them that you'll found cities...

    Expiring trade agreements

    It appears to me that if you have a trade agreement set to expire, with resultant negative consequences to your economy, that there is nothing you can do to avoid at least one "bad" turn that kills your economy. In other words, if your agreement to trade dye for silver is set to expire on Turn...

    Specialist Buildings bug?

    I started a thread about a problem I was having here: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=381794 My investigations, as you'll see by the end of the thread, lead me to believe it is a bug. To recap it here: starting exactly on Turn 300, the governor of all my cities shifted...

    [NOT BUG] Caravel moving problem

    I've had a problem in my first game, probably a bug. I have a caravel out exploring the ocean and it does not cycle around to move it each turn. If I don't manually go find it, it will give me the End Turn dialog. (Whereas with land units, it will tell me a unit needs to be moved). If I...

    Blue Screen of Death

    With 3.13 I was getting a Blue Screen of Death crash after playing perhaps 30 turns of a game. I had hoped that 3.17 would correct this problem, but now the game crashes to the Blue Screen of Death immediately upon starting the first turn. I'm using Windows XP and an nVidia 8800 GTX card...

    Problem patching to 3.17

    I'm trying to use the in-game patch utility to patch Civ BTS to the new (June 27, 2008) patch, which I believe is 3.17. (Is there another way to get that patch?) Anyway, after giving the order to patch the game, I am returned to the Advanced Options screen (i.e. menu that offers About This...
