    I thought they always spawn in areas with swamps.

    stop a ai prophet

    I find it really odd that there is no "Stop spreading your religion" option in the diplo window.

    What is your city number limit for Culture/tall city civs?

    Usually I go for 4, 5 tops, but somehow the need to corner enemy civs with resources is very tempting.

    Finally tried to play one seriously - holy crap that was awesome! I managed to amass a huge army of sea beggars! I feel like there was no need to build ranged sea units outside of the occasional sub - it was really fantastic, especially when upgraded! The UA is really helpful vs. AIs - you can...

    Ahh interesting, so essentially his style is selling all resources for quick buck without worry of losing happiness.

    The most infuriating diplomacy fails in G&K

    Denouncing before declaring a war seems to help.

    A List of Cities/Resources Which Were Left Out;

    Speaking of resources, I kinda wish the bonus resources offer more that they can be traded, otherwise they're pretty useless when not being part of the active city tiles. Like say, cow resource add 2 food. Oh and might as well ask it here, if I trade away my only Marble, the boosted Wonder...

    I guess it's more of the inner machinations of the lux happiness that confused me. I know for a fact that you retain 50% of the happiness boost when you trade your last lux copy. However, does the game assume that you still "have" it, i.e. that lux happiness boost from Commerce affects it still?

    Civ's telling you secrets: did ever one come true?

    I haven't played Civ V in multiplayer yet so... essentially in multiplayer the spies don't warn players for incoming armies?

    Petra is really cool.

    Now they just need to buff tundra tiles... and maybe artic (dohohoho)

    Warmonger Penalty Analysis [Need some anecdotal input]

    As far as I have noticed, if you denounced someone, especially if that someone is universally hated, before you wage war, you won't get the warmonger effect.

    The hazard of accidental CS alliances

    This is why I always turn off espionage, they tend to be more annoying regarding CS. When fighting vs. CS-relying civs, I make it a point to save enough money, buy off nearly all of the CSes, then declare war.

    Playing as Netherlands

    Is there really an ideal way to play them? Only thing going for them is the polder UI and I guess the Sea Beggar is not bad. Their UA is really lackluster, and focusing their starting point on luxuries rather than strategic resources is kinda bad.

    Who is your favorite civilization in Civ5?

    Korea and Babylon - I play them similarly but Korea for offense and Babylon for defense; I'm kinda slow at GP pumping so I'm not too good at Babs, but still scientific progress allows me to take over enemies easily China - awesome UB and UU Japan - the UA is very handy for warmongering

    What are the known starting biases for all Civs?

    Also in my few attempts with Netherlands, they start near luxury resources.
