Why did you build Stonehenge as a Creative leader? It probably would have been better to put those hammers into a Warrior rush or something.

ORG saves on civic upkeep, not city maintenance.

Financial will generally make you a lot more gold than Organized will save.

What if there aren't five civs willing to become communist?

I saw a mention of barb trireme blockades in another thread, and it reminded me: triremes stationed in the Red Sea are capable of blockading through the Sinai and into the Mediterranean. Nothing can be done about it unless you either control a Suez city or have caravels, or unless the trireme...

This is the way I'd go about it, along with the previously mentioned Satellites and Great Spies. Just make sure you have enough peaks around your island that the AI ships can't make contact with you. You may have to go into WB a few times to reduce your culture so it doesn't extend too far out.

That was more of an "argh, so close" than a bug or anything. I've seen Salonae founded 1S on the Copper, where it can flip.

Here we go. This one's just all over the place. Salonae is just 1N of the flip zone, Buto/Alexandria flips while Tanis does not, neither does Babylon, Sur doesn't flip because it's not Roman, and I get a junk city way out in Persia. Oh, and in case it matters, this on version 1.10 and with Epic...

Alright, I'll load up another one and see if the same thing happens.

It's already been overwritten by a different game. Sorry. :( I can go for it again if you want. What specifically were you looking for?

I just started up a 3000 BC Byzantium game to double-check, and I flipped the Balkans, Anatolia, and the Levant. There were Roman cities in Egypt that were not flipped. The core extended down to Jerusalem. I also saw the worst holy city for Christianity I've ever seen in the form of the city...

Well, I play RFC: Dawn of Civilization, but I assume it's the same across all versions. After you switch civilizations once, you can't do it again in that game.

I suggest that the Tamils' second UHV goal be expanded to include the Ganges delta as well. Rajendra Chola led a successful campaign there at about the same time the Tamils were conquering Srivijaya. This would basically equate to capturing Pataliputra from the Indians. Also, I'm kind of...

I think that, instead of that last UHV, there should be something relating to Islam. I don't know whether other people are the same way, but I very rarely do anything with the Islamic missionaries that spawn, both because I don't want the added unhappiness in the cities and because most of my...

Indonesia has a population goal in 1940, and Ethiopia has to keep Europe out of Africa until 1910, so it's not without precedent.
