I'm only on my first game in 1.09, I'm getting affected by global warming pretty badly -3 or 4 squares in my territory have turned to desert (thankfully mostly on mountains, but destroyed a good river tile too). In all my previous games of Civ 4, I was never affected once by global warming...

Indeed - if anyone wants any more information on exactly what scientific theory means, a quick google will turn up further information such as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory#Science

I'm agnostic and it doesn't bother me at all. If they'd put a muslim/hindu/etc song in or something and it was nice music I wouldn't care either. I wouldn't have though that many other people would be annoyed about it either, especially considering it's in a language that would have extremely...

When I've converted another nation to my religion, even when they run one of the religious civics (organized religion or theocracy) they never seem to build missionaries to spread it at least around their own civilization to get the bonuses. I always end up being the one to do it, if I end up...

In my last game on noble, I tended to pick on the weaker nations (though i did conquer the 3rd score ranked nation, they were still behind me in tech by a little bit). I left my home continent with a pretty dismal military force (maybe 2 mech inf and if lucky a SAM infantry in each city) and...

I think it makes sense.. Otherwise why not show other animal types on the map.

That's just the driver signing. I wouldn't worry about it. It means they haven't got this version of the drivers certified by Microsoft.

You can right click on a leader portrait to start conversation with them in the foreign advisor. Left click just selects them so you can then mouse over other leaders to get their opinions on the currently selected leader. I tend to not visit the other advisor screens, until they're hopefully...

In my last game, I had lots of units stationed outside an enemy city after landing my invasion force on their continent, I'd attack and my unit would dissappear, then the defenders would start running off across the ocean, over off the screen, then the battle would resolve and my units would...

Yeah, I'd like space race to either be Civilization 1 style, or a huge points/tech/great people/something bonus but not victory. Since a game where I had to rush through the rest of the parts as another civ started building, I've used custom game and disabled it.

I turned around a bad game pretty quickly (had major problems with my economy and due to that was falling behind in scientific progress which I solved with a couple of large wars) when I started running Police State, Vassalage, Emancipation, Sate Property, and Organized Religion. Which seemed...

I remember reading in Sullas walkthrough before the game came out that he returned a city to the control of the civ that originally controlled it, and it was an option when he captured it. In my last game I'd finished securing control of my section of the world and the resources I required, and...

Other than high memory usage leading to slowdown right at the end of the game as it swaps on the hard disk constantly, I've experienced nothing wrong that actually affects me playing. Sometimes zooming out to globe view there's some graphical corruption (not always though) and the intro movie...

I noticed that the culture percentage of the other civilization remains even when you found your city on top of or near the site of a city that was just razed. A location better suited to what I wanted was located next to the position of a city, so when I took it I razed it. Culture of the other...
