The basic idea is to just settle any where that grants access to a luxury, weather you have it already or not. If you don't have it, hurray 5 happiness, if you do have it, hurray 300 gold from the AI every 30 turns. (or whatever you can get on that difficulty) Civ 5's city placement doesn't...

Lot of questions in this one, I can only help with a couple, rest would just be guesses. Terrain bonus do carry over, If you start taking the melee equivalent, shock though after a promotion? You will have something like Accuracy II, Shock I and need to start over as far as unlocking the next...

You know, I was attacking greece in one of my games like 20 minutes ago and was about to let up due to happiness when they nuked some of my puppets and suddenly I had enough happiness to finish them off without worry... LOL Sure enough a thread on here talking about just that. (granted I didn't...

Doesn't the courthouse have a 5 gold maintenance cost too? I think that's why most people will just raze and re-settle.

It's all situational, it can be nice to get a market up instantly so you can build the national. Typically, I don't think you'll make more money by buying any of the currency buildings unless you're making a lot of gold OR have really bad production but what you DO get is more turns to produce...

1. You can't see Iron on the map until you've researched Iron working, which when that happens you can build a mine on it if it's in your territory to have access to it. If it's not in your territory you will need to build a settler and construct a new city on or near it to obtain it. 2...

For me it just kind of depends, typically I like to work tiles and go for as much production as possible to pump out a new building or units perhaps. Leave whatever specialist in for the great person you're currently trying to spawn.

I'm playing a game that unintentionally ended up like this, immortal difficulty. I randomed Japan and spawned with 3 grassland cotton and a gold so after the typical national college I expanded to yet another grassland cotton and another gold, settled directly on the cotton. Can't remember...

Oh nice, pretty funny that an unemployed citizen counts, I was working my way to planned economy but that seems like the way I'll have to go now as china just gave me 8 little dump cities putting me at -52 :mad:in a peace treaty. Since then I've worked some magic just to get back to +5 (razing...

Yeah, so I got that right anyway, I did have to take indirect as a spur of the moment type thing when i needed 2 more hits on a forest surrounded city on one of them but otherwise did a decent job skipping the ranged only ones. Right, no real reason to station military unless you feel an...

Yeah I'm playing an immortal game now with tradition and honor and my keshiks are already like lvl 8-9 early on. I can say that happiness is definitely holding me back but I have so much money from warmongering that I just bought each CS that has a luxury I don't for some burst happiness. When...
