On an unrelated note, the Congolese embassy gives a text key.
Simply give every one the colours they have in XML\Civilizations\CIV4_CivilizationInfos.xml.

Maybe you should be able to remove marshes with an industrial or modern tech?

There is a scripted Aztec respawn at 1820 ish, right? What about the Incans?

After reinstalling everything and doing that, it finally is back to normal now =). Thank you mate.

You always have the option (as Russia, for example), but no one will give you anything for it. Not even your Vassals at Friendly. It's not a Happiness, Health, or Strategic Resource and hence the AI assigns zero value to it.
What happens if you gift it to another civilization?

You simply no longer have it. That is again why marsh needs to be made more interesting. It is sort of like if you have Uranium and fission and gift it to someone who does not have physics. They still really want it but you can end the deal before they can use it. It is kind of a cheap way to get lots of Luxuries throughout the Industrial Era.

Oh I'm sure in a pre-industrial society, a mysterious metal that glows in the dark and kills whoever touches it with a mysterious curse would be a priceless treasure for any sovereign to have.
I'm totally serious. I recall for example European explorers selling blocks of ice to certain (forgot which exactly) Asian-Pacific natives at exorbitant prices. Also the entire city of New York was bought from the natives for the price of something like a dozen glass beads.
There are few more things more enjoyable in this game (or in the real world) than trade exploitation.

What, rather than a mix of dirty water and grasses? That sounds fairly appealing too.

Uranium doesn't actually glow in the dark; it just looks like a chunk of regular metal/rock. The closest you'll ever get to a 'glow', would be uranium glass, which has been around since antiquity, and wasn't seen as overly unusual. Glassmakers have used uranium as a coloring agent for thousand of years. To make this glass glow, you need a black light, otherwise it's just a shade of orange, red, or yellow.
Also a rock of uranium would not kill you. You need to ingest or inhale a large amount of it for it to be a danger. The dangerous materials you're thinking of tend to be a by product of fission. (SouthernKing explained this better!)

Uranium wouldn't kill whoever touches it either. U238, the most common isotope (something like 99.3% of the earths uranium) has a half-life of something around 4.4 billion years. That's almost the age of the Earth. Which is why depleted uranium (which has a higher concentration of U238) is used for combat armor and armor piercing rounds. The second most common isotope, U235 (most of the remaining 0.7%) is not a whole lot more radioactive, with a half-life of about 700 million years. It's only the rarer isotopes of uranium that would actually do anything. Granted, eating U238 probably isn't the greatest idea, but unless you do that or something similarly dumb, it's not going to shorten your life.
The ancients handled uranium compunds all the time without knowing what it was or having any problems with it. It wasn't actually isolated and identified for what it was until 1789, and radioactivity wasn't known until 1895 (a uranium compound was found to fog up photographic plates)

Wow, thanks guys. Wouldn't have known these if it were not for you. Really learnt something today.

The neat thing about this is, some materials we generally attribute to being only used in the modern age, have actually been used for a very long time, but in much different ways. Another example would be oil (petroleum) which has been used for as long as civilization has existed in a variety of ways. Even aluminum has had its use since ancient times--it was used as an astringent and in dyes back then.
Also I was just playing a game as the Congo, and a powerful hurricane hit my capital after 1 turn, destroying almost all of the starting buildings! XD

It's even worse when a hurricane hits and destroys a building you need for a wonder that you would of completed in a couple turns. Then someone beats you to it.
