HAs can be done, they cost 100:hammers: on Marathon and each whipped pop gives 90:hammers:. Do note that this means you can't whip 2 pop if the city has a Forge. Also you might need to MM the first HA a bit so its first turn doesn't add more than 9:hammers:. Phants cost 120:hammers: (IIRC) so...

It's all in the type of empire you run =) Aside from :gold: savings on maintanence, courthouses also give 2 :espionage: and a specialist slot. If you ignore GPPs and assume a good target (open borders, close to your capital, pref but not necessarily with a state religion you control the holy...

Are you playing in window or full-screen mode? I'm running Vista too, and screenshots work perfectly in full-screen mode but not at all in window mode

Excepting the Oracle and Taj of course, since they don't have a passive benefit other than GPPs =)

Not necessarily a cottage, but it does mean the AI thinks your worker should improve one of the blue-ringed tiles first. You will also notice blue borders around some of the action icons; these are the improvements the AI suggests.

The effect obsoletes yes, but if you built the monument manually (as opposed to getting it via SH) it will remain and produce ... hm, what? culture? I'm pretty sure the CHA happiness obsoletes at Astro as well ... And the answer would be that yes, the game keeps track of which Monuments were...

Let me clarify: forts in neutral territory will not give access to resources, but they will give a defensive and healing bonus (as well as protect from flanking attacks) to whoever controls it. I do wish there was an improvement similar to the Civ3 Outpost though ...

Forts don't provide a bonus in enemy territory, they must be in neutral or inside your borders to work. @OP: As has been said, the reason your workers are building them is either that it's a resource you can't improve yet (with a fort on top, you get access to the resource on the same turn...

In theory, yes ... however, in practice you often find yourself dragging the slider up and down for various reasons; be it REXing, warpath or a tech rush after selling off some old techs for cash. The point is that over time the same city will be producing either :gold: or :science:, so it will...

Where are the NSFW smilies when you need em? :blush:

GW is a nono; the 100% GG bonus only works inside your borders. Most of your GG points should be coming from the slow but steady trickle of 99.6% odds attacks after your siege stack is done smashing the city =) SH is nice to have as Cha, indeed, and on noble you'll get away with it =) it's...

I'd call him a founder. He'll only get the early religions if no zealots are playing, and the late ones seem to come more from his general runaway teching than a deisre to collect shrines. And of course, what kind of zealot has FR as favoured civic? =) Personally, I only call zealotry on the...

Try taking a short detour and pick up engineering on the way to lib; trebs are very nice siege weapons against LB/muskets and when the AI gets rifles you should already have cannons. If you're playing Spain, Engineering unlocks your UB too - can't go wrong with CRIII siege fresh from the...

Replace the bold text in your post with the bold text in my post and it might make sense. Then again, it might not ...

I think you misspelled Incas there ... :mischief:
