Darn it! Just purchased the G&K DLC not to long ago, and that alone was $20. I don't have CIV IV though, so I'm wondering if I should go for this. I don't really know about the new XCOM at all.

I've never noticed anything harmful with letting the shields pile up in some weird city in a less than strategic position before, and sometimes, it will have enough shields that I can immediately get a new WOW. The shields in the city can run over an allotted limit (I'm not sure what that limit...

Well, my thoughts aren't as poetic, but that's a good way to put it.

Yeah, I restarted the game and guessed it was the number of cities. I've got a good system going now. I've got 88 cities, and I only need 20% luxury tax to manage them all on King. I'm just selling a bunch of SDI Defenses for money, and all the rest is going to science to get 1 Future Tech per...

Alright, I'm playing a game, but my citizens are getting very unhappy for some reason, and I don't know why. It's about 1000 BC, and I'm expanding my empire, and every time I build a city, that 1 citizen is unhappy. In order to do anything, I need to take away that one extra square and make an...

My least favorite civilization, the Zulus, just attacked me again. Yeah, I gave them Gunpowder, 350 gold, and never provoked them, but they don't seem to think any of that is important. It's like they get tired of peace or something. I'm just trying to build a peaceful empire, but that is...

I don't know if I've said this already sometime before, but thank you again for making this wonderful program, Dack. I did notice that before, my computer only displayed about 12.5 squares (horizontally) by 17 squares (vertically) on the large map screen, but after I recently reinstalled my...

I skip the math and just found another city, ha. But a NONE settler is pretty alluring, especially since it always will take up some food. I might try that in my next two-settler game. I usually play as my favorite civilization, the Russians, and they often get that second settler bonus. About...

Alright, I've always been wondering whether this is just a bug, or whether it was implemented on purpose. It's pretty handy, either way. Also, are there any civilizations that cannot get two settlers at the start or civilizations that more frequently have this happen? Merged with existing...

I think that first part about the Persian, Muslim, and Hittite is just something that they didn't finish like you were saying. I just checked it out, and it was something I don't think I've seen before. On your next question, "Incite a Revolt" has a higher chance to cause war than using the...

I think you mean "Cavalry", Whelkman. haha. I also think diplomats and cavalries are underrated, but I'd have to add phalanxes to the list (for me at least). They make me feel secure about my cities at the very beginning and sometimes they still do their job late if I forget to replace them in...

As long as its heart is still beating, no matter how slow, I'm more than gracious.

Nah, I know about that one. It isn't that. I believe my grandfather told me it's when I had made too many units, but I was never really sure about this. The instant advice bug I know about also. If I were to play on Chieftain, I would know to turn that off at the very beginning as I had that...

Sometimes, my game just freezes, usually late into the game. The water continues to move, but everything else is just stuck. Also, the little blinking box in the bottom-left hand corner stops at dark grey. What causes this and/or how can I stop it? I was playing a really good game.. but it...

This thread is about a month old, I'm hoping that I'm not too late to miss out on this... I've been playing Civilization I forever and I can't believe I never thought to look for a forums until today. This program sure does look great.
