Mostly lurking in the forums reading all the answers, and i am amazed of small tiny bits i still i haven't found out. Never thought of this, thanks!

Maybe i trespass the rules on this forum now by talking about other game than CivIV. But i have big hopes for this game that it can at least get half as good as CivIV, and i want to see it happen. The creaters have civIV as one of their favorite games, and i am crossing my fingers for this game...

There always pops up tips i did not know. So the cost of cities is calculated horizontaly? It is cheaper to expand vertically?

As always on this forum, a really good answer. Thanks! :-) Its diversity is what makes this so great a game. Its so many ways to play the game. I am quite boring, though....always domination.

Ok, must be that then. Not sitting next to my computer now, but i am Bismarck and don't do anything with my espinage points so it must have happened automatic. And there are 3-4 enemies who are weaker than Greece, would have thought i saw them first. Learning something everyday.

Two randomly questions that popped up when playing yesterday: 1. I have not founded any religion. Signed open border with greeks, and i can see all his cities and the army within. How come? He hasn't even got the same religion as me. 2. Capturing a city. Is it random what buildings that get...

Thanks, you are totally right! Never checked the tile the huts are on, but (no surprise for you) it was forest. Thanks for good and fast reply.

1 question and 1 (strange) observation: - level monarch, feeling the barbarians is more aggressive earlier. It spawns more barbarians if i discover more land, than keeping it completly in the dark? (will i it be wize to not "open up" all the land until i get a good defence. Put in another way...
