thxs for your reply. i don't think its the things you are suggesting. i have tried new games and used world builder to start from fresh trying to select units and have run into same problem. and all my other games included unmoded civ work fine with my mouse. i thought it might have some...

i haven't played this game in a long time. recently downloaded it again. i'm not sure if this is or bug of if i accidentally hit some game play mechanic that is screwing up my stack/unit selection. when i go to any square with multiple unit stacks, the computer automatically selects...

thanks for the advice :)

capitulate confuses me. sometimes when i capitulate someone, the other civs immediately declare peace and other times they declare war. i'm never quite sure which one it is going to be. and when someone capitulates a civ i'm at war with, i have no choice but to go to peace for at least a...

on your new chart: i don't think ragnar should be that low. he is financial and a good warmonger with agressive/berserker. if he is on a water map, ragnar is especially effective with fishing start, trading post, great light house, and colossus taking advantage of financial.

one of my biggest pet peeves is researching copper, animal husbandry, and iron only to get none of them close to your start. for this reason alone sitting bull should be higher on the list. it is so nice just to know you will be getting dog soldiers and be able to plan accordingly. since...

nice tip. it seems like i used to do this but had forgotten. that does sound like insanity :). i can't even imagine having 200 cities but then having to manage them every turn. gives me a little perspective which is always good. kind of reminds me of being mad about something and then...

thxs drakarska. yes, i did know about governor and do use it occasionally when a city really is only leaning to certain traits. but i find that it's usually better to do things myself which i usually do after city builds something. this is because while i like certain cities for commerce...

sometimes is so frustrating that i need a mini rant, apologies in advance. things that really bug me 1. when a barb or enemy unit comes onto a city tile and you instantly kill it. even if it is the most valuable resource tile you have, the ai will not automatically start working the tile...

while i'm at it, why do cities that you recently take over starve themselves to death to show their unhapiness. "i'll show you my unhappiness by being so unhappy that i kill myself" also talking about realism. so it take me 50 times longer to produce a experienced unit as it does to produce...

honestly, i admit i'm not a very good player. i'm not really talking about my skill level but more about the realism of pumping out 3 to 4 star units from slavery. especially in the bc era. i might have an warrior from the beginning of the game promoted to an axeman w/ archer, city attack...

these units are built in a single day and the local populace is shrunk to one in many cases against ai. it doesn't seem right that every single unit that is produced has more experience than my battle experienced, barrack produced units. especially w/ civs that give archers double experience...

this just happened in a recent game and in past games. it always seem to irritate me when i'm dominating someone in a war and they won't capitulate because their afraid of my enemy. even though said enemy is across the map, i'm 5 times more powerful than enemy, dominating that enemy, and...

i like to keep 2 forest in every city for mostly the 1 health and asthetics. it's just kind of sad looking at a completely barren land. you can usually find 2 tree spots that aren't going to serve you much like plains no river spot or 3rd or 4th production hill that you can't mine because...

this has been bugging me for awhile. when i select to build a road or move a unit to a certain square, the preview road or preview destination route will come up and i select preferred preview. but as soon as i select it, the route or destination changes to something different and i...
