I am playing at the cheiftain level and have wiped out all of my enemies except the Bablyonians hemmed up on one island in Cuba where I can not land my Cavalry from my galleons as his city occupies the whole island. I have large cities everywhere else on the world. All I want to do is destroy him him. But I can't because every time I get my bombers ready the game will lock up and say "Please Wait." Normally the computer will let me have access to units that don't have a pre-set order along a movement route or those that aren't automated. But I can't access my units? Any clues

Not specifically.....
Even with bombers, you won't be able to capture the city if it occupies the entire island. Suggest that you build some marines, load up transports and attack that way.
Sorry, don't know about the locking-up thing.....

Thanks for your reply. It's not that I don't mind building other units. The thing is who wants to wait nine and a half hours to let the darn thing playout. My wife got this for my birthday and I thought it was great. Could not wait to play. But now I am in the modern era, the whole thing is sort of anti-clamatic ( icant spell). Its sort of waste of time. It took like weeks to get where I am at now and I don't know.
Maybe I have a slow computer.
Irregardless, the game is fun but it has serious flaws.

Have you updated to the latest patch? 1.29
Some of the older versions were very bad and if you had alot of units or alot of workers that were automated the game would get stuck like you describe. Sometimes restarting the game or even rebooting your computer would ease the pain but once your game got that complex you were in "Please Wait" mode over and over while the system tried to find the next unit to move.
Hope this helps.
[edit] I forgot that adding workers and disbanding units into cities for production were bad for messing up the internal unit list in the older versions also the disbanding of units is the one that got me many times.
