If I understand your question correctly, there is no way of making a religion in your city any stronger. It's like saying you believe in christianity, and because a church is built, you believe in christianity even more. Building religious buildings in the cities helps with the happiness...

I do miss not having certain ships being able to bombard land units. I would like to add though, that if a land unit being bombarded is an artillery unit, or a stack that contains an artillery unit, then they can fire back.

When you try to explain the theory of relativity to your other half and that when you say "I'll just play for 5 minutes" you mean really 3 hours.

It sounds like you are using the standard graphics card for the laptop. Without knowing too much about the specs for your laptop and from what you've said, it sounds like the graphics card isn't cutting the mustard. Normally, the graphics card will do the running of the graphic and let the...

if you look in your bios settings, it should have a "health check" section where you can tell it to do certain actions at certain times. EG. Shut down when cpu reaches a certain temperature. Do you have any other graphics intensive games you play on your laptop, and what is the graphics card...

I'd say that they have a great use... They help my destroyers and other ships with experience! :) You just use them for target practice :)

I think that is a flaw then. I can't send peaceful units (missionaries, for example) into an opponent's area with closed borders, but a peaceful ship with peaceful units can sail through my border? I think it was Civ2 where you could expel a peaceful unit, such as a spy. I think that would...

I've only been playing Civ4 for a weekend, and am loving it. I've got one question though. I've gone to speak to various rulers and under the convert and adopt sections of the diplomacy screen, I can't find any religions or civics. Under what circumstances can you request a ruler to convert...

For the best part of the week, I've been "sneezing" and "coughing" and complaining of aching joints. I've even started to chirp and tweet so I can claim I'm coming down with "bird flu" so I can have about a week or two off just to play Civ 4. Alternatively, I could slip whilst getting out of...

What would you do after 30 mins? Will you go out and track him down? :)

The box is the size of two dvd jewel cases. The manual is rather thick! 224 pages :)

You have my, and I'm sure the rest of the community's, sympathy and wishing you a speedy recovery. CIV 4 claims it's first victim. :( If I was to break a bone that would put me off from work for a few weeks, I think it would have to be a broken foot. But, on another note... IT ARRIVED...

I don't mean to rain on your parade, but last week they (Amazon) dispatched X3: Reunion on Thursday, but I didn't get it until Saturday and I had asked for 1st class postage. :( A colleague of mine got an email from Play yesterday at 6pm saying that his package of Futurama was dispatched, and...

You should offer to make her a cup of tea or coffee and be friendly to her. Then get her to get up extra extra early tomorrow and make sure she delivers your copy of Civ4 to you before she does anyone else's deliveries... Unless of course you live in Oxford, then don't do it! as I want mine...

I guess some people just don't like change! :)
