Yes, I believe you are. Certainly in Sha-Feer's first trade there would be nothing to cancel after the twenty turns. The example with "10gpt and iron in exchange for chivalry and dyes" once again shows the importance of keeping deals separate. Often you can get 60 for this and 40 for that, or...

A floodplain will never produce a shield. Other than that, they are the biggest blessing on the expansion of your civ.

@Khshayarsha: yes, most building can be sold at any time, rightclick on it and if the contextmenu has an option to "sell" and you chose that, the advisor will ask, "sell buildingX for Y shields and Z gold?" and if you answer yes, you can start building the just sold building right away:)...

I guess in most conflicts there is always at least one side who looks at the conflict as an internal affair, a civil war. This is by definition the case in wars of independence.

Coal and iron in the city radius. A town with lots of hills would have the best chance. They don't need to be connected or be worked by a citizen. They only need to be there to begin building, it doesn't matter if a resource expires before completion.

Personally I don't actually, but by all means help yourself in the Creation & Customization forum. :)

A National Museum was suggested some time ago, I think in the C&C forum. It would require gold and the new resource of an archaeological dig in the city radius. Its effect would be a local doubling of science. How about a Memorial of the Lost Wonder? It can only be built if you have...

New wonders are not the most urgent, but nice additions. While the civ traits as they are, fully satisfy the object of creating unique and individual civs, having a unique wonder for each might add some spice. The great difficulty is of course balancing, unless each civ-specific wonder did more...

In Paint Shop Pro, make sure there is a tick in the box next to "Smart Resizing" in the Resize dialog window. This will allow you to shrink the image further while keeping the fine lines of details and text etc. visible. Not sure what sort of blurriness you refer to as the image you apparently...

To calculate cost-effectiveness, you need to put the production of a city against the maintenance of the improvement. For example, I believe a marketplace costs 1 per turn in maintenance and a bank 2. A city with 2 uncorrupted commerce per turn would have 3 with a marketplace. Then the...

If turned on, I believe the re-negotation screen appears during the AI's turn, even if the original deal was made during your turn. You definately do not want this to have the option to include some techs or maps in a new deal. Also in deals where you trade lux for lux, you may end up paying...

It 's not that hard to get used to speaking about Dutch in English :crazyeye:. (Just remember that all posts by foreigners like mods are almost by definition off-topic. ;)) Renaming some of the units and wonders has proven a lot tougher and I don't know how things are working out with the...

You also know when you see new AI units run around. A Iroquois Infantry tells you they have Replaceable Parts.. and rubber. 10 minutes is a long time. The interface, eh, leaves room for improvement, but it shouldn't take that long unless you take notes and screenshots.

Democracies are immune. Make sure your intended victim is still a republic or so. If he is in anarchy, the chances of success are greatest. Also make sure you have more culture. I 'm not sure if it makes a difference to have this culture nearby like a palace. If you are a communist government...

Juliana and Beatrix are still alive. Queen Emma would be the only other possibility. I wonder why they didn't choose Willem. Pity. At what striking historical events has Wilhelmina been such an outstanding leader? Perhaps they wanted somebody for that period as most other leaders are from other...
