    Unable to Build Big Ben

    Still not positive what is going on here, but I think what happens is that before you meet your opponent, when they build a wonder an icon in the bottom right corner of your screen lists it as well as mentioning it in the gossip list. But after you have met them (or, more likely, after they...

    Seed 5432154321 Rant

    Well well well..... I tried this seed again in a new game with different leaders and skill level and while entering the seed number noticed that after entering 5432154321 for the random game seed, and clicking on the random map seed to change it also, the game seed changed to 5432154112. There...

    Seed 5432154321 Rant

    I spend quite a bit of time looking for (what I think are) good seeds. Having tried somewhere around 50, this is definitely superior to all the others. It has so many tribal villages that I got at least 3 builders and 3 population increases, 5 scouts (one of which I raised to level 5), and a...

    If I Purchase the New Frontier Pass Can I Still Play with just the options of the original game?

    I am considering purchasing the New Frontier Pass expansion to play with the new options available. But I am concerned that I will not like playing where during later stages of the game climate change will make changes that I do not enjoy playing with. If I install the expansion pack, do I...

    Why Does it Take Longer to Make a Rocket Artillery than a Modern Army?

    When I look at the production cost required to produce either a Rocket Artillery or a Modern Armor the cost is the same. But it takes about 50% longer to make the artillery than the armor. Why? I have the 50% build improvement for both ranged weapons (artillery, yes?) and calvary (armor...

    How Does Assigning Specialists Help You?

    In one of my cities my total industrial output was 65 and I had no citizens assigned to my industrial zone. For experimentation, I took 3 citizens that were only producing food and assigned them to the industrial zone. My total industrial output remained at 65. If assigning citizens to this...

    Unable to Build Big Ben

    Thank you all for your comments. I'm not sure, but I think I know what happened. I am playing against Tomyris and it's my first attempt at the deity difficulty. In earlier games, when my opponent built a wonder before me there would be a little icon at the bottom right of my screen which...

    Unable to Build Big Ben

    I saved a hex adjacent to a commercial hub specifically in order to build Big Ben there. Both the hub and hex are adjacent to a river. I built a bank and have completed the Economics research required but I have no build option for Big Ben. I also started the game before the Atomic age. Can...

    How To Start a Game with Both Civilizations on the Same Continent

    I have been playing for about a month or two now and always with just two civilizations. I have been playing continents and most of the time one civilization was on each continent, though I remember a game or two where both civs were on the same continent when I was playing as Greece. Now I...
