Well maybe you do not understand me because I did not use the English axiom, look up what it means and you agree with me. ;) An ellipsoid with two equal axes can be projected as a circle. An ellipsoid with almost equal axes will look like a circle. They did never proof that the earth was a...

Any ellipsoid would work. You say they proved it, I on the contrary say that they did not do so. Thereafter I used an argumentation that shows that the kind of proof you refer to is nonsense, and now I would be the one who says science needs proof. I say it uses axioma's and that these axioma's...

Well you are wrong, relativity has never had axioma's that were proven later. There are 2 axioma's that will not be proven. You are the silly one here, you have no intention whatsoever to understand my point; a petitio principii is no proof.

Math is build out of axioma's, physics uses some axioma's. You should however not confuse proof with guessing, the Greeks estimated the circumference of the earth assuming it was a sphere. It is wrong to use an axioma to proof that axioma. Take the following arguments, which are exactly the...

Well the data makes it plausible that the shape of the earth has spherical properties, however likeliness is no truth. It might work in a court of law, but science needs proper evidence. Earth is an oblate spheroid as wikipedia kindly states it. It is however a sphere within engineering...

No there can be other geometries which yield these kind of shadows, certainly with the very limited amount of data they had. It does however tell you that the earth is convex near the positions of your observations. Eclipses can show something, they are however unclear 2D projections which...

No they estimated the circumference by measuring the lenghts of shadows at different places and assuming a spherical earth.

Go to windows explorer and go to your civ files there, probably c:\program files\firaxis games, go to the civ 4 folder and you see a folder with civ4saves. The files are saved in that folder. :) Just select them and delete them and you are done.
