I don't understand how movement is working in combat. Why does it take all four moves of a tank to attack unit outside a city in adjacent hex? Why can damaged mechanised infantry move only one hex when alongside the enemy and a city in revolt? It seems that these units will now be lost to the...

I have submitted my game out of time rather late. I built my spaceship and was off on turn 370. I like to trade resources. This got me into trouble in the middle part of the game when I traded one of my two dyes and one of my two spices and I lost both from the available list. I did this more...

Florence has heaps of troops that have barely moved beyond their teritory. Capetown is landlocked by me has few units and hasn't to my knowledge sent a single unit to do battle. Quick to cause trouble. All talk and no action.

I am on my third round of war. First time England declares against me so make an alliance with Japan. Japan agrees, but a few turns later declares war against me. I had a research agreement with Japan and that is lost. The second time Germany declares and again I persuade Japan to declare...

Just blundered on and on with game not realy getting anywhere. Empire was so big that happiness required big construction effort. Couldn't seem to stop cities growing when given food from City States. Paying off four and more City States was a huge expense. I was trying to avoid war with...

I found and installed an update for my graphics card. (Optional on windows update.) nVidia - Display - NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT I have supressed the movie and have a blank screen until a continue page. (Not very long.) The game no longer hangs at the start with me having had to use...

This clip has a French Musketeer sharing a tile with Persian Chariot? Musketeer attacked but didn't actually fight, just moved onto the square. On next turn, other unit had gone. Zooming in and out just showed the overlap more clearly.

Light red blotches were on Tundra squares when I was placing Academy (and on other occasions). Suggested worker improvements have little white icons on tiles. Is the red blotch a variation of this?

This is my experience every time I try to play.

I have edited my original post. Sorry.

My understanding is that a Harbour allows trade with capital (Triangular symbol with rings at corners.) Attached picture shows harbour for city but no trade link. Edit: I am wrong about this. The trade link was subsequently anounced later when I came back to the game. I think that my...

Steam insists on running all start screens. Esc seems to help speed through them, but regardless of what I do, game hangs with black screen after video. Ctrl-Alt-Del once to select Start Task Manager returns me to Black screen. With the second Crl-Alt-Del Task Manager Starts. Once that window...

Move warrior SW. I should prefer settling in place keeping the plains hill for a few hammers. With raging barbs keeping crabs and clams in use will be the challenge. We can expect a lot of ship sinking. Chase Colossus to boost gold from the seas.

Maybe scout 1S1W to confirm settle in place or Scout 2SE to check out the hills. I like cottages on flood plains. Health shouldn't be an issue on Warlord. With Financial we will be sooo rich so quick!

Move scout NW, W and take a look. Probably settle in place. AI less likely than Barbarians to lodge on adjacent hills. Reasonable land to cottage. Need the cash to catch up research deficit. Does gold on hill 2NW mean water alongside?
