Polynesia too.

Puppets use the gold focus, so you can anticipate which tiles they will work as it grows. Getting trading posts up instead of farms on rivers and making sure gold heavy tiles are improved will slow the growth as the city works those tiles.

Depends on how badly I can use a worker too. Lets say I'm in one of those spots where I'm a worker short and I've used my 'get a worker from a CS' card already for example, and that it is not so far away that getting back to my lands is an issue, that settler is gone.

What company are you complaining about here? Aspyr has done all of the Mac development of the Civ games for quite a while now and this pattern is always same. They get the patch to start work on the Mac version around the time said patch is released on the PC. There usually is a PC hotfix that...

1. Yes, you get the available or next available culture based building. So for your example, you would get 1 monument in the next city you settled and 3 amphitheaters in the current ones. 2. Yes, so let's say you haven't researched Drama & Poetry yet, but you take legalism. When D & P comes...

Sorry, but your being a little over the top there. These big patches are usually followed by a hotfix and Aspyr hasn't appeared to be slowed down in the past by rolling in the hotfix into their patch. This window between the PC and MAC version exists every time, and every time Aspyr seems to...

If your ahead of the AI in general they are not going to like you, even if you you've traded, had friendships, etc.

This is certainly the case for a player with previous Civ experience. We certainly understand that mastering the nuance of food/prod/tech/expansion-happiness makes for start/stop situations in learning the game in the beginning. Look to the War Academy, and especially to the excellent Lets...

There is a map editor mod that runs fine on a mac that is a that lets you do pretty much anything. http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=436912 You will need to jump through a few hoops to enable the MODS button the UI screen, and then you need to get the actual mod files in their...

Arrrrrrrrtillery!

I'm pretty sure that patch that came out concurrent with the G&K release removed indirect fire from all the ranged pre-artillery. Does this mod give you the Indirect fire automatically? If so, that's pretty much a god mod now. If indirect fire is where it used to be in the promotion path...

I fall into the 'early siege is too much of a PITA protecting to invest in at that point' category. The AI always puts all it's effort into taking out the catapult no matter what the better strategic move might be so that... it either dies or it doesn't get used. Trebs can usually withstand...

Yes, Aztecs UB is a growth inducer... Target melee because they are what can take your city. No melee no city taking.

I created a mantra for myself to help wean me off the Wonder building train. Whenever the game tells me that 'XXXXXX has built the YYYYYY', I say it out loud followed by a loud FORRRR MEEEEEE!
