I'm unable to DoW on Independents. I had this problem when I rolled a 3000BC Turkey start and Konstantinople was controlled by Independents, where I had to wait until their borders reexpanded to include the sheep that I normally take when I spawn (I rerolled to get a Byzantine Constantinople to take over), and now I can't attack Rasht. I want to raze it before Iran gets to it (and if you play a few more turns, they will, so they have no problem DoWing them.) It seems to be you need to enter their territory first, then you can attack their city, but if they have no land territory around their city, you can't do anything about them.

How am I supposed to do that? The arrow keys move the map around, not units around the map.
Also, why would it behave differently to different input devices issuing the same command?
Naval attacks don't work either. Artashat, which is on the Caspian Sea, can't build any naval units other than work boats, and my work boat has the same problem as my janissary. I can't attack Rasht by land or sea.
He means the number pad. I recall having this same problem as the Ottos, and I think using the arrows on the numpad to move the Terrifying Tower of Turks into independent territory allowed me to DoW on the indys, but I may have just reloaded and got a Byzantine Constantinople instead, I don't remember. And yeah, no idea why it makes a difference, if it does at all.

That's a pretty serious bug. There's no reason that the game should respond differently to the same commands from different sources. I'm playing Civ on a Macbook via Wine, so I had to connect a USB keyboard to get it to work.
What I do is right-click, "Save as Picture", save it as a picture, then upload it with the "Manage Attachments" button below the Miscellaneous Options caption below the smileys on "Go Advanced" mode.
This is more of a question. I'm still playing that Turkey game and one of my core cities, Dirac, flipped to the Independents for no apparent reason, in the middle of a golden age. How is that possible? I was spamming golden ages and expanding like crazy but hadn't dropped out of GA at all. I got the message in the log, "1775: has declared their independence!" I thought maybe that was a bug and supposed to say Americans, but apparently it was one of my cities. How? Thanks!
BTW, they took the first ring of tiles with them so I can DoW them and take it back without a USB keyboard this time

I have the wrong version to open that save, but I assume it is because you are unstable? If you are expanding like crazy you can still be unstable even if you are in a golden age. And if you are unstable cities can and will declare independence on a regular basis! Hit F2 and see what the stability reading says at the bottom of the screen.
Suggest you slow the pace of expansion and build some courthouses and jails in order to stop it happening more. Only expand when you are stable.
I'm an ardent player of RFC and just came across this incredibly good looking modmod which so far (strangely) eluded my notice.
Now I'd desperately like to play it but due to inexplicable reasons it just doesn't work. I downloaded the rar-file, unzipped it in Beyond the Sword\Mods and loaded the mod. Then I see the normal windows desktop again and the game just does nothing, it doesn't restart with the mod as it should.
Does anybody have an idea what I could have done wrong and how to set it right? I'd really love to play Dawn of Civilization so every help is much appreciated!

My stability is -20 on the turn before I lost the city. I reloaded from 1775 and I lost Milan instead this time. So it's random. I thought since I couldn't collapse during a golden age that I wouldn't lose any cities either, and I was free to expand as much as I wanted.
I really wish I had an understanding of how stability points are calculated, it's so arcane and Byzantine, I hate it, otherwise I might have an idea of when I should switch from Occupation to Imperialism and whether that would help.

@Hippo8085: Thanks a lot for your advice! Unfortunately it still doesn't work. Everything is exactly in the right place, I checked it thrice. The mod also appears in the main menu but when I try to load it, the game just crashes, it doesn't even really 'try' properly to load the mod. Strange thing this is, until now almost all mods ran perfectly well on my computer...
What do you mean? Yes I turned the computer and the game on and off several times, without effect so far. What I don't get is why the game doesn't even really attempt to load the mod (whereas it loads other mods without any problems). I think the files themselves should be ok.
