Wow ataxerxes, thanks for the long response! Despite the two games being virtually the same on the surface it seems they're really played completely differently. I will take these things into consideration, thank you ;)

I am not new to Civ, but am mostly familiar with IV and have started playing III for the first time recently. I know some of the core differences in gameplay (no religion, no corporations, corruption/waste), but how do these and the other differences in the game affect general strategy? What...

Thanks a lot vexing for the detailed explanation, I appreciate it ;)

I guess I'd like to have a more thorough understanding of how bonuses are calculated. How is the system different than Civ 4? In 4 you would have the base bonus, and the improved bonus which includes the base bonus I believe, and then the actual improvement's bonus added on top of that? In...

Is there any way to look up the improvement bonuses specific to a certain resource in the civilopedia? It gives a bonus for the farm, lumber mill, mine, and trading post, but in reality the bonus you get for a specific resource seems to differ. I've found references online, but I was just...
