So does the AI default to 2 food remaining for growth and make specialists with the extra citizens? David

I have noticed that when I get a new citizen in my cities, the computer sometimes makes the new citizen a specialist rather than putting him in the field to work the land. What is the rationale the AI uses to make this determination? None of my cities have governers. Interferes with a...

I cannot chat in multiplayer lobby. I can type in message but when I hit enter nothing happens. This has happened in both original and with 1.09 patch. Went away in original but seems to continue to be problem in patch. Anyone know how to fix this? David

The point about using appropriate promotions is right on, especially in the ancient times. The use of a carrier group is also exciting. I have not been involved in a modern war yet but will certainly give that a try. David

Last night I decided to build one military unit of each type I had available, such as one Immortal, one Elephant, one axeman, one swordsman, one spearman, one catapult and one archer in each city before going to war. I did this approx. and then charged the Romans. I also decided to spread...

I have played several times over the internet and I have to say I enjoyed it. Be aware that humans are not as trust worthy as the AI.:) Also be prepared to play for awhile at one sitting. Not recommended to play for 10 minutes and then leave. David

That is a tough loss at 8.5 to 5. I have lost some closer than that but not that high. Very bad luck. Always happens when we are attacking with just one unit! David

Is it possible to view the map without showing the units in cities. I am aware that you can remove the view of all units but I just want to remove the view of units in cities but leave all other units in sight. Cannot find a way to do that. Anyone have any ideas? David

I just finished a Warlord game with six other civilizations. I know it is only on warlord but I was able to win a time victory with only 4 cities and without going to war with anyone. My point of this is that it was quite enjoyable to play with the intention of attacking no one unless I was...

Can anyone tell me how to save a production queue and then use a saved queue. I know about using crtl-#key in city screen but does not seem to work for me. I must be doing something wrong. Any suggestions? David

Thanks all for the information. I believe this clears up the question for me. David

When I try to trade with other computer leaders they sometimes ask if I will trade say wine for cows. The problem is that I do not know how many cows I have. If I have 2 then good trade, but if I have only one cow, then not so good a trade. Any way to check how many cows I have without...

Thanks Bone, I figured had to be something like that. David

I have built Mt. Rushmore (-25% war weariness) and jails (-25% war weariness) and have police state (-50% war weariness) but I still have war weariness in my cities. Greatly reduced but not gone entirely. Seems to me that -100% reduction should result in zero war weariness. Anyone have...

When a tank loses to archers or other weaker units I chalk it up to an ambush. Under the right circumstances, individual infantry combat units can defeat tanks. When tanks are trapped in narrow streets or gulleys for instance. I agree should not happen often, but it is not impossible. Tanks...
