I know this must have been answered, but I cannot find it.

I have spent what seems like hours searching the forum.

I have Conquests.
How do you place units on the map or a city when making a scenario?

The Units brush is greyed out in the Editor.

I think you must first enable 'custuom scenario data' looka t the menus on top, one has 'custom player data' 'custom rules' 'custom scenario data'. check it. then you should be able to palce units.

You also need to set the player. I believe spacebar will select the player.

there also is an icon to select active players, IIRC the blue/whitish shiel thingy.

tx, turner, it is kinda hard to remember the exact details of something one just does on full-auto mode while one is NOT sitting in front of the program......

 

[Esca]

Thanks people.
I have got it to work.

newbie question - How come when I make a trade agreement with another civ, and then somebody else wipes that civ out, I take a reputation hit? I'm not the one who wiped them out; I didn't intentionally break an agreement; they got destroyed by somebody else's rampaging armies. Why am I blamed?

One of the most annoying bugs. For some reason many people consider it a feature.

Like signing an agreement also means protecting the other party in wars... I sometimes do so though, but only when the game isn't progressing much

You could have stopped them, you let them die. So you're just as guilty as the killers.

True, what the reason do u think Big Bush helped Kuwait in the first place long time ago? You have to help your partner

I have Iron works built in my core (vanilla) and have captured another city with coal and iron. Will I be able to build a second IW when I connect the resources??

 

[Turner]

No, just one single small wonder per civ.

 

[Grille]

also:
you do not even need to connect those sources of iron/coal in the radius of that (potential) IW city.
IW can be built if
-city has (at least) 1 source of iron and 1 source of coal in its radius (whether actually connected or not)
-any trade network connection to any source of iron and coal

Concerning which tech a scientific civ will get with each era, it seems that it is not necessarily the cheapest. I have tested this, and I found that the science civ simply gets one of the first techs. Reloading a game with a science civ that was far above any other in techs, I tried redoing the turn and found that each tech (Engineering, Feudalism, and Monotheism) came up about the same number of times.
