There they are! Thanks, Larry -- I had no idea there could be multiple pages in a battle!

My nation is in a war (the battle begins in 18 hours!), so I click over to the troop deployment page. There are slots for two ranged stacks on our battlefield. Both of them are already filled, but that doesn't stop me from clicking on my own stack of artillery ... which promptly disappears...

Thanks, Dusk. As for #1 -- man, what a pain. Maybe in a patch ...

Two questions. First, is there any way to see what wonders have already been built and where they've been built? Second, do you get the benefits of a wonder if it's in a puppet city?

On the 360, click with the left stick on the square you want to be the rally point.

I can't believe I never noticed that about COD4!

Surprising that there aren't any multiplayer specific ones.

I just got a new laptop with Vista -- not sure of the specs offhand -- and it's playing just fine. So whatever the problem is, I don't think it's Vista.

No way on Expansive -- the Roman Empire suffered incursions from Germanic tribesmen during his reign, and while Aurelius pushed them back, Rome wasn't strong enough to absorb their territory. Plus, Marcus Aurelius is best known today for writing Meditations. I would peg him as...

Useless!?! No way! Emancipation kicks your cottages into overdrive, making your non-core cities useful (cottages around core cities are usually well-developed by the time you get emancipation).

The benefit of colonies is that you don't have to pay the upkeep on the colony cities, and you get all the benefits of having a vassal.

Thanks guys -- I hadn't realized they changed that in BtS.

It's been a while since I played, but I picked up BtS and am currently working the rust out of my Civ muscles. I can't tell, though -- have I forgotten the way religion works, or did they change something in BtS? Here's the deal. Hinduism is my state religion and I just built the Kashi...

Rome: Marcus Aurelius. May be unlikley, since he would have to have the Philosophical trait and the combination of Philosophical and Forums might be too much.
