Is there a simple flag or switch to prevent/allow city building? ie, something present (or can be added) to either a terrain, feature, or even improvement? Put simply, I was thinking that if there was a simple fix to allow city building only on specific tiles, then i could (before starting the...

Sorry, best description I can come up with. I mean when you capture a city that was originally captured from another existing civ. You've given the choice of keeping or liberating. I tried liberating, despite getting a +20 to relations, they still hated me and attacked me soon after. So I tried...

Were you born in Melbourne? Only those people born there believe it to be the centre of civilisation. Neither Melbourne nor Auckland, are National capitals, and New York isn't a capital at all.

Canberra, Manila, Ha Noi, Jakarta, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, Bamako, Kinshasa, Accra, Vientiane,

My gripe is the AI will start pointless early wars it has no change of winning. I understand the difficulty in programming an AI to actually work with 1UTP, but then surely you need to program in some simple evaluation to stop the AI declaring war against a stronger player.

I have seen the AI ignore cliffs.

I never build scouts. Production is too valuable in the early turns, they have very limited movement advantage (none if there are lots of hills, or forest) and are useless against barbarians. Plus they don't upgrade. Slingers are a good early option. If they come across a barbarian they can...

I have found this "Inspiration" to be extremely unreliable. Perhaps the issue in my current game, is that after I met the 2nd city-state, it was conquered. But its still weird, I have loaded an autosave and tried a few different things. Sometimes it fires when I meet the 3rd CS, other times...

No, obviously not. Kilimanjaro is a Natural Wonder, as such it behaves as a Natural Wonder.

:mischief: Sorry, the OP threw me with his first picture. I'm ashamed to admit I failed to realise he had drawn the hex incorrectly, which is what had me confused.

What a stupid post. Might as well say "1+1=2" Read my post, I'm suggest the tile in question has no river, because as I clearly said, the river runs on the OPPOSITE sides of the adjacent tiles. Not even sure if that's true, but even if so, WTH has that got to do with the price of eggs? Did...

I appreciate that the AI needs all the help it can get, but I am so tired of the developers simply deciding that the easiest way to help the AI is to program in lot of stupid rules, then allow the AI to ignore them. Here's the thing about light, except in the presence of an extreme...

I tempted to leave this page blank, but here goes: I love that cities can now be random shaped, and that you can push boarders out further. Makes it easier to site cities, removes the need to build "fill-in" cities to work left-over tiles, overcomes the frustration when you discover a latter...

I agree that "stacks of doom" were an issue, when an AI would basically devote ALL its production into units for a long time, then declare war on you with a stack of 60+ units poised on your boarders, and hurl them against your city. But, on the plus side, it forced you to consider your...

Sorry, but there is only one correct answer to this question. I agree that naturally, an expansion pack is better than the original. So the Answer can only be Civ4 Warlords. (And not BTS as most people think.) Why? Because (unlike in Rock/ Paper/ Scissors/ Lizard/ Spock), in reality, Spock...
