I agree that Artists for Culture is the "always good" Colonist to choose, but depending on your strategy you might want to go for another Colonist option to help out your expansion cities. For example, Engineers are great if it is important for you go get buildings up ASAP in your expansion...

To add on to this, if I am trying to trade a LUX for a LUX and the AI is not going for it, without some gold, I usually just throw on like 1 horses or 1 Iron and they will go for it.

I have Mavericks and I played Civ for a bit today. Civ itself ran just fine, but I noticed a SERIOUS impact on the performance of Chrome and other open apps, in different desktops. I think this has to do with Mavericks App Nap features which diverts power from apps that are "in the...

I think the little mini game of finding and trading for/conquering the best works of art for your Themeing bonuses is fun! Although, I have been having a hell of a time winning a Cultural Victory on King and Emperor difficulties. There always seems to be at least 1 other Civ with POWERHOUSE...
