I think the AI has a much greater chance of launching first if they are on a different contininent. I've never seen them launch first during a game with one contininent. However, they launch all the time in the version with all small islands.

It could also be that you don't have the proper resources to build tanks. You need to have roads to oil and rubber or be trading for them to have tanks appear on you build menu.

I've done this before. Not very often, but I have done it. Usually I get engaged in one or two minor wars thru no fault of my own.

A couple of quick points. First, by not focusing on war, I'm able to build more peaceful units and use them Strategically . I expand peacefully, giving and taking techs, trading resources and generally being a nice guy. Meanwhile I'm cracking the whip and building culture buildings in my...

There are lots of changes, but the one that still trips me up 10 weeks later is unit stacking. I've had stacking units drubbed out of me by Civ 2. I still find myself trying to surround cities with units rather then stacking.

Near as I can tell, every worker you add to a city adds to that cities chance of going over to that culture. I actually took a major city from the enemy one time because of this (25 pop). They grabbed a bunch of my workers as the first move in a a war. I was culturally elite compared to them...

Check cities with corruption fighting buildings. I built a courthouse and it raised my production from 2 to 5 shields. Note: this is no claim that this is different then before, I just never noted courthouses having much of an effect before.

Me too! And I have my civ testing computer here at work... ARRRGGG

Funny, I always found fundamentalism the gov of choice during war in Civ 2.

It was deleted, like this one will be soon. ;) Go buy a copy!

I've never had this happen to me, but I've seen the AI get caught in this trap. They usually switch sides a couple times, until they settle on one or the other. It's kinda funny.

I found one of the quickest ways to get war declared on you is to build cities right next to their border. You do this a couple times and unless you have them totally cowed, they'll attack you.

You can trade away all your extra resources and have your last source deplete :( This happened to me at a key moment in a space race last night. I think you can trade away your last resource, it's just almost never benificial. Things seldom heard: I have enough tanks, can you please...

Nope, you can trade the same tech to every culture in the game, and still have a copy yourself. Resources are a different story. When you trade them (and you only trade one to a culture, not all your extra), you have the total available for your use reduced by one. So, don't trade away your...

Great comments one and all, here is the new revised theory. Every turn every city has a percentage chance or revolting and joining another culture. The city's percentage is modified by the following list. (trying to list in order of significance) The culture rating of the cities around...
