This a very long and complex post. What do you mean by Tory? It has something to do with the English Conservative Party? I'm sorry but English is not my mother language.

3D graphics also repel me playing later versions of Civilization. I lke the abstract quality of the original Civ, where units are similar to chess pieces.

This happens when a city size 1 (10,000 inhabitants) builds a Settler unit. Maybe that was the case?

This is one my favourite posts in this forum. Thank you!

Interesting! I have never noticed this but I guess you are correct: the game will only update your treasury when the turn is done.

Yes, you can see this happen from time to time. However, most of the time, the outcome is not easy to detect (instead of spawning barbarians, the other civ found money or a new tech).

I guess this is subjective and depends on your style of play. For me, the real important techs are: 1. Mathematics - only by building Catapults, we are able to properly defend your cities. 2. Writing - Diplomats are the most valuable unit in the game if you want to play a peaceful game. You...

I don't think they are mistakes, I suppose they were features that were developed but abandoned shortly before the game was released. Perhaps they raised some issues that couldn't be resolved.

I think this bug has been reported before and is known to veteran players. If I remember correctly, you can't let Barbarians eliminate a civilization or this will happen. I suggest you look for it in this forum.

1) No. 2) No, although I'm not sure. 3) No.

It happens a lot to me but in later stages of the game. If you have a lot of cities (12 to 15), like I use to, it's relatively easy to reach this maximum. Even Diplomats and Caravans count as military units.

My games last for several weeks, sometimes even a month or two, at a rate of 45 minutes per day. Some days I play for more than an hour, but others I don't play at all, either due to lack of time or wanting to do something else. I always play King level with 7 civs and I love building large...

Then, after the first city is founded only the "ghost" Settlers remain as you can check on the screenshots.

Most experienced players know that starting with 2 Settlers is just a way of compensating for poor initial location and bad neighboorhood. Strangely, the game only takes into account the square where you start. So, if you start on Plains, even though there's plenty of Grasslands, Rivers and...

I think it's time to bring this post a new life. Anyone has an explation for this phenomena?
