Holy cities don't give religious sight in BtS
Hmmm, I'm not sure if it's in Warlords or BtS (and perhaps in both), but don't you get Religious sight if you have the Holy Shrine inside of your Holy City?
If yes, then the Mahabodhi guy would have met everyone, right?

ZPV, do animals avoid going on the tiles next to cultural borders?
Animals completely avoid going into Cultural Borders and will be booted out of Cultural Borders if the borders expand, but Animals can and will walk next to Cultural Borders.
Is there code that reduces the chances of Animals going near to Cultural Borders? Maybe... that part I'm not sure about.
I forget if auto save is the end of the turn or the beginning of the turn.
Autosaves happen at the beginning of our turn from our perspective and with the saved game date of the beginning of the turn. That said, you'll see all of the requests that the AIs made on their previous turn appearing in an autosave--those things don't get processed until the beginning of your turn but it can certainly be confusing if you remember the wrong detail (i.e. if you focus on remembering the AIs asking you things instead of simply remembering that the game is saved at the very beginning of the turn).
; The maximum number of autosaves kept in the directory before being deleted.
MaxAutoSaves = 50
I don't have Civ to check, but one of -1 or 0 will let you have all of the autosaves available from 4000 BC until the end of the game, at least until you load a different game.
I'm a bit uncertain as to where we should be settling... for example, should that Dry Corn be saved for a potential City to the west of Toku's area? We won't really know for sure where to put a City there until we see the Coast to the west of Toku.
If we used the Corn + Sheep + Gold, on the other hand, we'd have Deer + Cow for another (relatively junky due to the Peaks) City.
Similarly, in the west, an opportunity now exists to go 1S onto the Grassland Banana, in order to see if settling on top of the Banana would give us another seafood Resource (and potentially a pretty decent Great Person Farm) or if that piece of Coast barren and thus we'd probably settle for Banana + Crab + Marble... but we'd possibly settle Banana + Gem and leave Crab + Marble for a southern City, to get more Grassland Hills out of the bargain (instead of settling on top of a Grassland Hills square like we'd need to do in order to get Banana + Crab + Marble + shared Corn).
I'm a bit afraid of that Wolf, though. However, if we are on top of a Resource, are we immune to Barb Animals? Or can they still attack someone that is standing on a Resource?
As long as we can't be attacked by moving onto the Grassland Banana, I'd suggest moving there with Warrior 2 next, just to give us a more complete picture for settling purposes.
Do recall that any City that an AI settles will either get captured by us or will be something that we have to leave in AI hands (or maybe gift back to an AI, which could be a reason to leave an AI with one City later--to temporarily give them back some junky Cities after handicapping them (whipping the Cities to death), so that we won't pay the Maintenance Costs in the long run and can probably only face Archers upon recapturing the Cities later.
I think that one benefit is that we can capture a newly-founded AI City without the normal requirement of waiting until an AI City is Size 2 before we can capture it without auto-razing it.
Note that it was Civ 3, not Civ 4, that allowed a Cultural Border expansion to avoid the auto-razing functionality; here, a City is only not auto-razed if it at one point grew to Size 2... with a possible exception for no auto-razing under the game's current setting of No City Razing, but I'm not sure... testing whether or not a newly-built AI City that we capture will get auto-razed would be a nice thing for a volunteer to do.
short of seeing his graphs. We should be able to figure out how much he's putting into research, I think.
