in my last game, I took Frankfurt and reduced it to size 4 because I didn't have many tiles to work with. I was next to one of my vassals and Germany. I had 12 varied units from generals to cannons, and it revolted for 7 turns, and then another 4 2 turns later. I don't think espionage can cause...

this was my largest stack to date. What are other people's largest?

I have had several revolts in various cities in various games. What can I do to ensure they want to be part of my civilization and will work for me? The only way I have found so far is to settle Great Artists, but there has to be a better way. I build theatres and libraries to try and build up...

I was playing a game as Hes, standard size. I had 2 vassals as my neighbors and Biz just past my largest vassal. I took over Frankfurt and founds stacks of 10 Knights and 10 War Elephants combined with longbowmen in his 3 largest cities. I had rifleman so, knowing that I didn't have the troop...

From reading posts and playing for a month or so, I have learned that there are several key races in CivIV and I want to make sure I am not missing any. Oracle: Free tech is huge early in the game. Liberalism: Free tech is huge in any stage of the game really. Every wonder can be used...

Could somebody please direct me to a civics guide. I am sure that I am losing a lot from choosing my civics poorly in various situations and want to iron that out. Cheers

A couple of questions about using specialists. Priests: If I have founded a religion, constructing its specific building with a priest makes the most sense. Following that, having them settle in cities that lack productivity would be logical. Engineers: Tougher. If I am constructing a...

I have been playing for a while, experimenting really, and I have some questions that i was hoping someone could help with. 1) Is it possible to upgrade units to armored units later in the game? 2) What is a typical average tech rate for later stage technologies? I ask this because I was well...

awesome, I wasn't aware that I could change which tiles were worked. Therefore, I will assume that in my main screen, if a bread or hammer is larger, then it is being worked, no matter if the tile has been improved or not, correct? Thanks all

Thanks for the response. So, the dutch and financial minded can take advantage of them. But I am unclear on the food part. Do you get that additional loaf of bread just for being on the coast and having it within your border?

I am new to this game. The land tiles are easy to harvest/mine but I cannot figure out the coastal tiles. They all have food and commerce, but how can I use those, other than special items such as fish, clams, crab, etc which a fishing boat takes care of. The lighthouse improvement makes every...
