You generally get the effect of both buildings. So a city with 5 monastaries gets +50% to its science output, as well as getting the culture bonus from each of them

You know, that's probably the least useful bit of advice I've heard. Ok, it's probably useful, but if you're a new player trying to get the hang of multiplayer, you will soon stop playing multiplayer if you get rushed and killed every single game because people are specifically gunning for you...

As long as you can trace a link along roads/rivers/water tiles, then yes, cities share resources. Get a pig to one city, and any city of yours connected to it also gets the health benefits of the pig You can view a really good breakdown of how it works (with images) in this thread...

Build a road on the 3 squares to the west of Boston to connect it to a river square, and it can join in the fun too :)

You need to connect it via road to receive the resource bonus (ie ivory, silver etc). Even without a road, you can still work the tile and get food, production and commerce etc If the square has access to "fresh water", then it is touching the river and will get access to any resources on the...

No they're not. The Indian workers walk faster, they don't work faster. Sure, walking faster means that you can walk on to a hill and start a mine the same turn, or you can walk in to a forest and start chopping on the same turn, unlike regular workers, but even that is a 1 turn bonus at best...

It's all about commerce. Your science output is basically determined by your total commerce. If you've got the slider at 100%, then that means you're converting 100% of your commerce is to science. So the more money you're making, the more science you're outputting.

Which does you no good if they're in the middle of demanding something from you :)

"Lets talk about something else" and then ask them what they think of the civ in question

The amount of penalty you get for being of a different religion is completely based on the leader. Some of them care more about religion than others. If you're of no religion, you get no bonus or penalty when dealing with them, if they're of a different religion you get a penalty, and if...

Knights don't receive defensive bonuses...

Yes and no. If they're not going to give them to you at any cost, then redding them out does save time and effort, which is a good thing as far as making sure the game plays at a decent pace. Unfortunately, it does deny one the chance to annoy the AI by making unreasonable demands :)

That is such a cool idea! I'd love to see something like that implemented. Is it possible to mod something like that?

It generally depends on the specific mod. Some work only on new games, others work on games in progress. As for that specific mod, I have no idea :)

Personally, I'd like to be able to cut down forests around enemy towns and turn them in to catapults right on their doorstep :)
