How many shields do stock exchange take? They aren't listed on the site or in civipedia.

Looking in the editor, they cost 20. However, you have to multiply the cost of Wonders and Improvements by 10 to get the ingame cost. Therefore, SE costs 200 shields.

I've never seen a volcano pollute more than one tile away so i just never build next to them. When it blows it will destroy a city and any units on the tile it chooses to pollute. The AI doesn't seem to know about this and i have seen many an AI city destroyed.
Once you have the max # of armies, the game just won't let you build another. You can always use your MGLs for other things. Disbanding an army gives you 100 shields but if you try it in a city building something that can't be rushed, it just disappears.
The unit stats show how many movement points are left but it is rounded down to the next lowest whole number. This can be used as a guide. Movement into enemy territory uses at least one full point, maybe more, depending on the terrain you are moving onto.

How do you know when a GW was founded for determining chance of becoming a TA (tourist attraction)
How do you know if a wonder has become a TA or how much money its brining in as a TA? What are the odds of a wonder becoming a TA?

Your F7 screen should tell you when the wonder was built.
And if you look at the wonder inside the city view, and there are yellow gold pieces, this means that it's generating that many gold per turn. As opposed to red gold pieces, which means it costs that much per turn.
Also, it should be noted that enemy roads can work for your units, if they're wheeled units. You don't get the movement bonus from them, but you can use the to transport wheeled units through terrain that they need a road for.

Do TA always generate gold when they get old enough? Or is it a random event for it to become a TA?
It shows little gold pieces but so many its just a blur of yellow. How can I tell exactly how many its generating? How do I tell how much of that gold is lost due to corruption?

TAs always generate gold, to the best of my knowledge.
And I'm pretty sure that it isn't affected by corruption.
As for how much gold they make:
1000 years to 1500 years: +2 gpt
1501 - 1750 : +4
1751 - 1875 : +6
1876 - 2000 : +8
2001 - 2250 : +10
2251 - 2500 : +12
> 2500 : +14
So you can tell when it was built from the f7 screen. Determine how many years since it's been built, and that will tell you how much gpt it generates.

Wow, so those ancient Wonders can really be profitable if you get them finished early enough!!! 
Turner, I can correct you - TA gold IS affected by corruption. I have captured many a capital cities away from home only to find that instead of getting 14gpt from TAs, I only get 2gpt or something small.
I figured as much. I did notice after posting that the gold awarded by the TA is added to the overall commerce. Which means it should be affected by bonus', shouldn't it?

Improvements that work for all your cities on the same continent, how does it decide what a continent is? Sometimes you have several misshapen lumps, in areas it gets narrow, is a Continent any land connected to any other land.. even if by a single land square?
Yes, that is correct.TruePurple said:

AFAIK, the civ3 AI has never managed to stuff up the calculation of what a continent is.

How do I tell how many cities I have other then counting them one by one down the list?/ Is there a way? Its a Xlarge map and I have so many cities and am conquiring more.
If you use mapstat it has a Territory tab that shows how many cities each civ has. Otherwise you're stuck counting. F1 displays 9 cities/page. F2 is 19 i think.

Please tell me of this mapstat?
Here is the link. It is called CRPSuite.
As well, Civassist II sounds absolutely incredible from the screenshots I've seen and raves I've heard.

Well I use civassist, but I don't know of any function of it that counts cities. Ok, I used map stats. 58 cities so far, which means I'm only behind the neitherlands (they have 79) but less culture, which is strange.
