Sorry in advance if this question is answered somewhere else. Can I win with the civ I'm playing and then switch to another at a later spawn? For example, I've won with the English and I was looking forward to taking over as the Americans when they spawn, but I didn't know if it'd work since...

Oh, so that's why the AI builds so many of them...

I haven't had open borders with the Dutch for a long time, because I declared war on them since they took it upon themselves to conquer the Incas. Now, eons later, they seem to have the power to sail through my territory without an open-borders agreement? What gives? You can see the Dutch boat...

Any idea why one of the options for some of my workers, in addition to build a cottage, railroad, etc., is to heal them? I noticed this after my cities got the plague the second time around. It takes three turns to heal them, but what's the point?

What's the bug? You've secured 10 oil resources as of 1986... the victory condition is to have those in 2000, so you still have some time to go.

I didn't see it, but I very well could have missed it. The screenshot shows nothing after optics, which is where I thought I would've found astronomy.

I know that certain wonders can't be built on certain starts -- but I'm playing as the Spanish (600AD start) and I can't built the Mausoleum of Maussollos and I don't know why. As far as I can tell, it hasn't been built yet. I have access to build other wonders, like the Leaning Tower and Notre...

Raketooy, I have to ask -- Recreativo's logo as your profile picture? I'm all for the little guy, but I don't think their chances of staying up look good this year.

I read on the RFC strategy guide that the guy started as Spain in 3000BC. How? Mine only lets me start as Spain in 600AD. (This goes for any other civ that can't start at 3000BC on the mod provided in BtS) Please tell me where to find the download, if there is one, because searching for the info...

A few times I've played as the Spanish, and I've had difficulty and frustration putting up with Lisboa growing exponentially, which limits the production and operability of my city on the Atlantic. That city is one square to the right from the bottom left corner of the Iberian peninsula. (It's...

Is there any way to change this?? Seems kind of lame to me.

The colony concept is one that fascinates me the most in this game, but I haven't gotten to it yet and I want to find it if I'm in for a let down. When you set cities as colonies and they become a vassal state of yours, do you get to name the new civ or does it just pick one randomly? For...

I just bought BtS this weekend, and I've played just one game so far, as Spain in RFC. So, if I build a Spanish city on the spot where the Portuguese would build Lisbon years later, what will happen to my city? Do they get it, or does this keep them from appearing?

I just thought it was funny that the helicopters couldn't blow the arrows away... I take much, much, much more issue with ancient-as-hell units defeating modern armor and tanks, etc., which has been thoroughly covered elsewhere.

So I've lost gunships to longbowmen now... Is it just me or should gunships be able to annihilate anything that shoots arrows at it? The gunship is powered by a propeller, right, and if that's the case, the amount of air blowing from the propeller should be able to divert these arrows, right...
