I recently switched to monarch dif level. I think im doing ok but I need some advice on expansion. Normally I expand just enough so that I can still run research at 90-100%, without going too broke. When I do this at monarch im lucky If I have 3 cities while the AI will have 2-3 times that many...

I put the 3.13 patch in and fired up a game. I built a settler once the city hit size 3 and I place it within 5 tiles of my capitol. I click end turn and the first prompt I get is the message saying the city has rightfully asked to join brennus's civ lol. The city is 1 turn old at this...

In my last game I was spanking Asoka pretty hard and got him to capitulate. I saved the game right before making him capitulate. I checked the land\population % on the victory page before and after the capitulation. After he capitulated, my land\pop % jumped 3-4% which would make sense...

anyone know?

In the early game I usually go for a tech that the AI's never research and trade that tech for as many other techs as possible. Toward the end of the game, im lucky If I can find another civ that has a tech I want, and needs the tech I have to trade. I usually avoid trading it to that civ...

So for each extra resource I get, the better the bonus each city will get as long as it has that corp there? like with sids sushi corp for example, if I aquired 3 crabs,3 clams, 3 fish, 3 rice from my own territory and/or from trading, then I will have a much bigger food bonus\maintence costs...

I dont get how the resources play into corporations. I founded sid's sushi corp last nite and was able to place the hq into a city that didnt have access to any of the resources required by the corporation. Well I had access to them, but not in the city's fat cross. I was also able to make...

For the description, it reads that you get 50% more production if you have coal and another 50% if you have steel. Do you only get those bonuses if the resources are located within the city raidus? or just available to your civ?

Ahh I see. So the +1 is tied to the state religion? Like if he decided to switch from hindu to buddhist then the +1 would kick in? Im not too concerned about him doing that I just want to make sure I understand how it works Thanks

Almost every game I play usually ends up with a civ dropping a city close to one of mine. If I found a religion should I NOT send a missionary there? I mean does having a religion in his city help his culture expand by +1? Its usually a very long time before that civ can make a temple or library...

I have about 30 cities that have coal plants in them right now. I just built the hoover damn and got a free hydro plant in all of them. when I goto the city screen, I have the coal AND the hydro still on my city improvements list. Im still getting charged the 3 maintenance points on the coal...

When I play games with more than 7 civs, I cant get the foreign advisor screen to show me the rest of the civs. I just shows myself, plus 7 over circles for the civs. even after wiping a civ out, the missing civ doesnt take the removed civ's spot in the circle. anyone know how I can see all...
