Here's my one and only entry. Thanks for the Opportunity!

Well it certainly looks like a bug, but I can see where the problem results from. By only clicking on Monotheism, you aren't telling the game where you will begin. To get monotheism you need polytheism and masory. To get Polythesism you need mysticism. To get Masory however, you need either...

Also, If you do all that closing of slots, and then change the map size, the ai slots will be reset to that map's default number of civs.

Played a test game myself(who hasn't at this point), but I was pressed for time, so I only played it at Prince level. The barbs were a pain in my ass. They spawn readily at the edge of the map in the one or two fogged tiles I can't see into. At one point Greece attacked me while a string of...

And you find time for CIV? Yikes.:crazyeye:

Warpstorm made my point. Home cities are basically irrelevent once you send the unit on its mission. As for the losing track of them once they are on said mission, try naming them for their role. If CIV did labeling automatically then it still wouldn't help you, unless you were using a notebook...

when said unit is highlighted, you can click on their unit type(Example: Warrior) and Civ IV will let you name it what ever you would like. This is helpful for deciding the fates of units before they get sent on their merry way. Archer - Defense, Warrior - Isabella Ass Kicker, USS Enterprise...

Do you have quick combat on?

There will always be a part, and always a very large part of every community, that have no care but for themselves, and whose care for themselves reaches little further than impatience of immediate pain, and eagerness for the nearest good. Samuel Johnson (1709 - 1784), Taxation No Tyranny...

While it is quite annoying that you can't attack naval units in harbor, you can destroy them outright by taking the city. If you blockade a city and then take it using land units(or marine/seals from transports) the ships cease to exist upon taking the city. :spear:

Well it makes perfect sense for it to be only accessable to warlike civs, those teaching there would have to base their lessons off of actual experienece.

I chop the pyramids all the time. Access to the civics early allows me to choose different tech paths later on. Logs were used in the construction of the pyramids. The great blocks of stone were rolled into place on top of dowels cut from trees. As the block was pushed, the logs would migrate...

Sorta on topic, If you raze the city in which the UN is in, do the resolutions still stand?

How do you regen the map, is this during game play? or in the World Builder?

Closer cities means more cities when using land area as a measuring stick. Two empires with the same land area coverage using opposite techniques(close pack, or increased distance) will result in the close pack having more cities(and a result: higher population density).
