Well, ok, it seems that my argument has been beaten, and I concede ;)

Well, it's not calling them 'he' - the brackets indicate that you don't know, and it could be either. I certainly wouldn't say it out loud, only in writing. I don't know if I've ever actually met/talked to someone I've referred to in that way. Anyway, isn't this a bit off topic? :lol:

I suppose I did. I knew there was one I was forgetting while I was writing (I hadn't played Civ4 in a while). But while I agree that mercantilism is the most 'controlling' of the economic civics, because it also means no foreign trade, it wouldn't make sense to have the ability to rush with gold...

One thing that's always got me is the fact you need Universal Suffrage, as an 'active' civic, to be able to rush production with gold. That doesn't make sense to me. I think you should be able to rush with gold under Free Market, because in a free market you can get payed overtime. Under...

Yes, I wasn't implying that he was a Jew. By 'own' I meant one they had preference for - perhaps 'favorite' would have been a better choice of words. No offense meant.

Everyone would like their own country in RFC (or in Civ for that matter), but it's just not practical. Sorry.

It's hard to see the difference, but I do prefer the darker second ones. One problem I have though is when I'm on the ocean, it's hard to tell the fog of war with unexplored areas. Could something be done about that?

It's the era change, yea :)

Pfft, who needs 1+ movement points? They've got a Golden Age already! The independents didn't agree with Persia. The foolish Dutch always seem to leave Amsterdam undefended for some reason in my games... generally it causes them to collapse once it's taken. Not this time: And they hung...

I've had this happen a few times. Once I saw one AI give a city to his enemy AI. I liked that. The fact that the other AI eventually crushed him, with my help, made it even better :D

I think that the roads of the industrial era (this is only in BTS, I think...) need to be modified. They should not become paved/lined until you have Combustion. The change is too abrupt, when you only got a tech like Scientific Method. Anyone agree with me?

Uh, I'm not sure if building the plantation actually clears it... I believe I recall mousing over one and still seeing jungle. That's how it works with other improvements before biology: I regularly see mines in Maya and India in jungles. So I don't believe building improvements (such as a city...

The answer to that would be no. Once, as Persia, my capital was Paris (different name though). Now this probably needs explaining - I sent an Immortal to scout Europe after I destroyed Babylon. I found an undefended Celtic city (the Paris one) and captured it. Later, my regular Persia was...

Ok then, so it's still Christianity, but it will have a different name in depending on the country? Will this have any actual effect on gameplay, or will it just be aesthetic? Also, what about cities/countries that generally have two or more "sub-religions" in them? For example, England has both...

But... what if the religion spreads to multiple areas? Is it a separate name in each? How will that work?
