Hi Dale, Thanks for getting back to me on this. As it turns out, it made for an interesting sequence of events over the course of the game. A couple of years after the 'bastard' daughter was born, I got the other event where I could adopt an heir. The male adoptee was questioned by the...

Hi, Ran into a problem with my queen getting on in years, with no heir. She gets the event from her husband, who is ill, whereby they go and get intimate, and she gets pregnant. Next year, he dies, and the child is born to the now unwed queen and becomes a bastard. I can honestly see how...

Well...nevermind. Went back and loaded the save, hit end turn, and the units had advanced their training by the expected 10XP. Too bleary eyed from too many JOMTs? Only excuse I've got at the moment for the false alarm. Mods, please feel free to lock this thread...

Is this by oversight, or by design? I had several units that were sitting several turns on training buildings, but gained no experience. I had them set on Sentry to avoid having to click through them all each turn. It seems to me that they should still train, while on Sentry mode.

Hi Dale. Thanks for the reply. The turn has long since gone by, but as I recall, I got the notification immediately after the combat, so it doesn't seem to jibe with what you are saying. It might have been an event where the general dueled an enemy general. Does this event override (or is...

The tool tip says that the General "Cannot die with 2+ HP". The screenshot shows otherwise. Am I missing something?

I've been playing a lot as Carthage, and I find it incredibly viable. Almost OP, depending on the map, which tribes spawn near you and their overall density on the map. Dido is a Diplomat, and this gives you the ability to work your way to a tribal alliance, fairly quickly. Carthage can...

It might be because you don't have enough gold. Each one costs a bit more than the last.

Hi Dale, Thanks for the prompt reply. That's a shame it's not working correctly, for now. It was really adding to the flavor of playing the Carthaginians. I suppose my next heir will have to put their family history aside, hire off all the available Numidians as mercs, and then backstab...

Hi, Playing as the Carthaginians on the Old World map. I am unable to choose the Tribal Alliance option with the Numidians. The button does not seem to be active. I was able to attempt the Tribal Alliance with the Gauls, but turned it down, as the Help entry indicates that I can have only...

I'd like a warning, as well. For the sake of saving my explorers, more than workers. They tend to get forgotten out in the boonies, working on some miasma-coated excavation tile.

I disagree. Both AI civs and City-States can be liberated and re-emerge as active "players". Thusly, diplomatic conditions should remain in effect, subject to normal decay, so that emergent players resume their previous diplomatic states.

You're mighty idealistic...;) Did you hear the one about the constipated mathematics professor who had trouble with his logs? Yeah...he was finally able to work them out with a pencil...:eek:

Correct. They already have it, and don't benefit from getting any extra in trade.

My experience has been different. I often farm multiple civs for advantageous peace treaties in the early part of the game. It does get more difficult, as time goes on, to continue extorting them in this way. Eventually, they wise up and start refusing any other deals than peace for peace.
