I see. Plan on moving the capital then?

Qin Shi Huang is a little too close for comfort. My idea to settle on the western shores seems brilliant; looks like that could be a great science city. Though, I'm not sold that this should be my second city; I think I need to beat Qin to the uncharted land to the south.

Vanilla Civ 1.61, Noble, Normal Speed, Continents/Temperate/Medium Sea Level My first thought was, "Wow, I've got to take advantage of that fresh water. I need to get on the coast to build a lighthouse, and oh, there's some corn. Maybe I should order my warrior NW to scout." Of course, he...

Quasi-related question that I've not seen answered: Does the Spiral Minaret generate gold for foreign :religion: buildings?

I captured Hamburg and Dortmund, sued for peace, and then (attempted) to use a Great Artist in Hamburg to culture bomb, and capture horses. My tactic failed, as I wound up only netting one ocean tile. Why did my culture bomb fail? Note: the two saves are for a before and after idea of what...

I have an open borders deal that I cannot cancel. It does not show up on the current deals screen, but the icon does show up next to the civ name with which I have the deal, and when I mouse over the leaderhead in negotiations. Have I just not waited long enough to be able to cancel the deal?

Personally, I view reloading as cheating. It certainly would not be tolerated in MP, so why do it against the AI.

Intermittently, researched techs are not highlighted in green to denote that they have in fact been researched. I am unable to click on them, but it is annoying when trying to figure out what I have previously researched. Anyone else seen this?

This behavior is an accurate reflection of human nature. Who remembers all the nice things someone has done for them after they've been screwed over? Not I...

What, and release another poorly written batch of code? Do you want them to fix the bugs? Q.A. takes time, and the delays only prove that 2kGames is serious about pleasing it's customers by fixing the bugs.

Has anyone tried gifting missionaries to other civs? Does this tactic help spread your religion, or is it too unpredictable? I tried gifting a Hindu missionary to Alexander in the hopes that he would stray from Theocracy and convert, but to no avail.

Don't forget to change the oil and lube the chassis (or heal your units)! Your tanks broke down and the archers laid seige to your crippled tank.

Do they have a line of sight on your units? If so, is it not reasonable to expect that if the AI can see you sitting on a resource, that he should see you when you move off it as well?

Don't forget the sexy girl from Egypt.

You know, in golf, there is a rule that states you must "play it where it lies" (referring to the ball). That pretty much sums up my feelings towards save-scumming, as it is sometimes called in other games (Nethack, for one).
