Does anyone else think that the brute in the icon for the Barbarism government civic looks a lot like fat bastard from Austin Powers 2? Does this qualify as an easter egg?

Maybe Hollywood, Broadway and Rock 'n' Roll are making up for the loss of terrain luxuries that become obselete (isn't there a screenshot that suggests combustion makes whales obselete???). So maybe luxuries like ivory will not have an effect in an advanced civilization.

Austrians with Maria Theresa.

Well I tend to think that if a wonder is in the game that's usually attributed to a specific civilization (ie Great Pyramid=Egypt), then that civilization should be playable. So ... Citchen Itza=Mayans (Industrious/Creative) Hanging Gardens=Babylon (Industrious/Philosophical) ... maybe...

I think as far as the number of units goes, what we see in the screenshots is what we get. What gets me is how much the explorer and the conquistador icons look the same. With a quick look they're virtually indistinguishable. Might cause some confusion when you're playing as Spain... Maybe...

If thats one big hill it kind of makes the river look strange, like its flowing uphill.

I think the game was going for something like this: The sherman tank used in WWII.

OK, please excuse me when I said that people can't live on grassland. If food is provided on these places, though (places not characterised as being bountiful in a crop), like berries and such, does it make sense that they can farmed like in Civ III? Is this not something that is changed in Civ...

I have a suggestion where any land square that does not have a food resource (wheat, cattle, corn, grapes, etc) would produce NO food at all. I mean, people can't live on just grassland, no matter how much it is farmed or irrigated. Instead, if a civilization has a connection to a certain food...

If you can fit the Canary Islands or the Madiera Islands in the map, you could use them for rubber could you not? To simulate it coming from South America?

I've been trying to find out how Firaxis uses modified game rules, set in the editor, and still has scientific leaders enabled. For some reason allowing scientific leaders is not an option in the editor for setting game rules. Then when you start your scenario, you cannot change the game rules...

That sounds good El Justo, thanks. In the editor, though, when different gameplay and victory conditions are set, there doesn't appear to be a flag for allowing scientific leaders. How can this be enabled? The Conquest scenarios seem to have scientific leaders but I'm not sure how they do it.

Hi, I have a mod that uses an altered form of the Rise/Fall of Rome map from C3C and I was wondering how to make the AI fight each other. Right now I have the starting locations of all the epic game civs that ever settled in this area (plus Hungary, Austria and Poland) with a settler, a...
