Had BugMod on my computer for a few weeks and tonight as I went to log into WoW up popped a notification that BugMod was trying to connect to the Internet. Er, why?

Eeeks, well, "can't stand reading" is a little harsh and I didn't mean it that way. What I meant to imply was that I haven't gotten a handle on the basics of setting things up, etc, and that the deep math was not going to help me till I got that kind of process done. Otherwise, I felt like I'd...

Ah, this is great. So are you all saying that a catapult, for instance, is to be moved into the city, shall we say, rather than kept back and somehow be able to "fire" from, perhaps, one tile away as a kind of unit characteristic? Do you get all troops from various areas and bring them to the...

At this point, a new player, I've read about combat but the answers are geared toward deep math and tons of numbers, neither of which addresses my very, very basic concern. Could someone please point me toward understanding the process of battle. Of course, I have had a small barbarian...

Much better understanding, thanks to you, but still I need a bit of clarification, please. You said, "The production from the top right tile is not counted in your city since there is no white circle. Period. The road does not change that. The 2 food and 1 commerce in the left center is counted...

Wow, this one hit me out of the blue, thanks. To give an example: In this situation, of the nine tiles in the city, the lower right tile is getting the benefit of both the City Worker as well as the Road. The top right gets the road which helps things count but no City Worker for the...

Warning! Noob Alert! Avert Eyes! Is that different than a Worker assigned while studying the game/land? What I am doing now is when i have a Worker, I check out the surrounding tiles within my controlled area and when I see something -- like an square that says no mode or something like that...

When I look down on a city from the aerial map, I see a white circle around the city and one or two white circles in the area. If I click on one, it disappears and I can click on another non marked tile near the city and it appears. What's going on in that process? I suspect it's something I...

Great idea! What about trying to keep track and find where types of units are......or a bit of help in seeing who's automated in their duties (although I think it's best if I stay away from that automated stuff!). I find myself quickly cycling through a turn when I know there are others out...

I suspect I'm at an awkward stage some of you may have gone through way, way back. I have read and played for only a short time, but the basic structure is starting to fall slowly into place. In the early game (and an early player!) as units pile up in cities and on tiles, I get a sense of...

Thank you very much .... makes great sense now and I'm grateful. Blues

All right and your explanation of Custom Game menu stuff is fantastic. It looks as if the Admin can pick a level to play it, starting with Settler. I started putting one together but it seems in Custom Game menu the AI opponents are locked on Noble. At least when I did the first Computer Player...

Re: the Random events question earlier. The situation is, I really don't want them in the game. Confusion: There seem to be two ways to set up a game. The first is Single Player followed by Play Now which has a simple to use batch of visual options to walk through - picking the map, climate...

Could someone take a moment with a devilish problem I can't figure. I see where in Advanced and Options I can, say, cancel out Random Events so they don't happen. It looks that's down a different road than the "ez" version of setting up a game in terms of clicking on everything from climate to...

I've decided tonight I really don't get this game enough to ask questions correctly >.< That's usually a bad sign, alas. I suppose I couldn't tell if somehow the order I gave for the warrior/unit to sit tight wasn't holding or what -- they seemed to keep popping up for an order every turn...
