In regards to Trade Missions. I thought I read somewhere that the thing to do is go to a city as far away from yours as possible and then do it. Is that correct?

I havn't really focused on great people. I've heard that there were some good strategy's using them though. Any tips on that? Also how often do you guys use Slavery? Obviously emergency's, like when your city is under attack are the perfect time. But I'm wondering if I should be using it to...

Thanks Samson. I'm also having trouble figuring out when I should be using my specialists. I have access to several now but I never use them because it never seems like the tradeoff for one of my tiles is worth it. Am I missing something here?

Just got a couple of quick newbie questions... 1. What is gold used for aside from paying maintenance costs and trading with other rulers? 2. I'm not really clear on what Granary's do. Should I holdback (stagnate) my population until I build a Granary? What exactly does the Granary do...
