So with your permission I would like to make a little background work for you guys, updating the hints. Looking through the texts found in ROM-AND folder I found the following stuff that may need to be changed:
<Tag>TXT_KEY_BUG_HINT_INTERFACE_2</Tag>
<English>*BUG Hint*: Ever forget to build that Barracks? [ALT +M] -OR- [ALT + CTRL + R] will allow you to set up reminders so you don't forget again!</English>
I don't know if it works or not. Never tried.
<Tag>TXT_KEY_BUG_HINT_INTERFACE_7</Tag>
<English>*BUG Hint*: To create rally points, select the city, or cities, you are building units it, hold down the [SHIFT] key and Right Click on the tile you want your rally point to be at. You will see a yellow circle showing the rally point.[NEWLINE]To cancel orders select the same city or cities, [SHIFT] and Right click on any city square, and it will cancel the rally orders.</English>
I don't know if it works or not. Never tried.
<Tag>TXT_KEY_BUG_HINT_17</Tag>
<English>*BUG Hint*: Watch your neighbors' civics changes. A change from Free Religion to Theocracy could mean an arms build-up.</English>
Change "Theocracy" text to "Intolerant"
<Tag>TXT_KEY_BUG_HINT_20</Tag>
<English>*BUG Hint*: Never go up against a Sicilian when death is on the line.</English>
I simply don't understand this one
<Tag>TXT_KEY_HINT_73</Tag>
<English>To found a Corporation, you must have the correct type of Great Person, have researched the appropriate technologies and build it in a city with one or more of the resources that the Corporation demands. See the "Corporations" entry under the "Beyond the Sword Concepts" section for more details.</English>
Needs correction?
<Tag>TXT_KEY_ROM_HINT_3</Tag>
<English>Rise of Mankind: Civics have 2 new categories and new options have been added to original categories. All civics have been changed with new effects.</English>
Remove "2" and it will always be accurate
<Tag>TXT_KEY_ROM_HINT_6</Tag>
<English>Rise of Mankind: You may build maximum of 4 Great Wonders per city and 4 National Wonders per city. Plan ahead where you build your wonders.</English>
Is it accurate about NW?
<Tag>TXT_KEY_ROM_HINT_13</Tag>
<English>Rise of Mankind: Naval units from Industrial era start to require Steel resource. Build Steel Mills to produce Steel from Coal and Iron. If you don't have access to those resources, build Ironworks national wonder. It gives Steel without those other resources.</English>
Should be changed due to building changes.
<Tag>TXT_KEY_ROM_HINT_14</Tag>
<English>Rise of Mankind: Mod has been designed for big maps and for Marathon game speed.</English>
Is that still correct?
<Tag>TXT_KEY_ROM_HINT_19</Tag>
<English>Rise of Mankind: Encyclopedia project gives access to all techs that 3 other Civilizations have discovered. If you're falling behind in tech race, try to complete this project.</English>

<Tag>TXT_KEY_ROM_HINT_29</Tag>
<English>Rise of Mankind: Mounted Infantry is the only mounted unit which does gain defensive bonuses. It's good unit for defense in conquered cities during war time if you want to keep your offensive units moving rapidly from city to city.</English>
Is/will it be the only?
<Tag>TXT_KEY_REVDCM_HINT_19</Tag>
<English>*Revolutions Mod Hint*: If you are overthrown and the citizens demand a new leader, it is not all bad. You will loose control of your empire for a time, but after this time you will have a new and interesting scenario to deal with.</English>
Does it work that way? Never experieced such.
<Tag>TXT_KEY_REVDCM_HINT_34</Tag>
<English>*Revolutions Mod Hint*: If you are faced with an empire with many different faiths, fear not! So long as you don't attempt to run a theocracy or organised religious state, the people may really respect you!</English>

<Tag>TXT_KEY_REVDCM_HINT_71</Tag>
<English>*Revolutions Mod Hint*: Really, in a diverse religious state, you wouldn't run organised religion, would you?</English>

<Tag>TXT_KEY_REVDCM_HINT_73</Tag>
<English>*Revolutions Mod Hint*: Switching to a police state may be good at times of instability! How else can you keep the empire under your thumb?</English>

<English>*Revolutions Mod Hint*: If you are sick of constant rebellious uprisings against you, don't forget [CTRL-SHIFT-L] and you can switch over to the rebels side!</English>

Just make sure you make a backup copy before deleting this file.[NEWLINE] Also don't forget to clear your cashe. It should be enough to keep Shift key pressed while you load the game.
