Cheers....that makes sense. For some reason I had this idea you had to wait, maybe it was from civ 2 all those years ago.....

OK here's a dumb Civ question, but I'm actually not sure of the answer. You know when you declare war, do you then have to wait a turn before attacking to avoid copping a bad reputation? I haven't noticed the difference between attacking right away or waiting....but that's probably because...

I'm curious as to why so many forum members disregard monarchy as a government type.....I thought it is quite useful early-mid in the game as returns(money & science)/control over populace and ability to fight are all OK - comments?

Wondering how seriously other players take pollution? Is there lasting effects after it's been cleaned up? And to what extent does production influence pollution? I've noticed that when population hits 14-15 it starts to be a problem but not sure about the effects of excessive production...
