Well, it's a heck on an advertising gimmick, that's for sure. Just hope your inbox is eventually usable again Petek :D

I'd certainly be up for a free copy - count me in! (PS how very clever of stardock... methinks this may be the best marketing decision they've made yet)

The obvious exception is when there are multiple enemy units in a square. Then you can attack and your unit returns its starting square.

:lol: this how I always play... Some of the other ideas look intriguing though, have to give them a shot.

No. A +100% great person production rate means you get twice as many great person points (GPP). If the costs doubled every time (which they don't, as explained above), that would mean only one extra leader for the philosophical Civ. For example, if the 3rd great person cost 400gpp, and the 4th...

It depends. The definition of a 'mod' is pretty broad - everything from professional quality to hack jobs. That said, it should be pretty obvious from the context of the mod's release which it is. If it looks professional and has a substantial response, then even if there is some error it will...

I preordered from ebgames in edmonton, and I have a paper manual.

I agree with the original poster more or less. I too have found supposedly happy longterm allies reticent in their trading - and not just resources, as Efexeye suggests. Trading maps, converting religion or civics, trading techs, pretty much anything you want, they "don't like you enough"...

That's my point exactly. This has nothing to do with economics at all - it's simply a comment on a new factor that affects gameplay that I find to be annoying. They can call it "Inflation" or "Upkeep" or "Money for the Martians" for all I care. It's the game mechanic (or lack thereof) that...

:lol: I guess as long as the info gets reported it doesn't matter...

It's not - and that's really my complaint. In Civ IV, inflation is without a real cause - totally beyond the control of the player. I quite like the Knights of Honour modelling, as simplified as it is, and I have no philosophical problem with the game design including inflation. As ainwood...
