I don't know.
Chukchi Husky, sorry about the spelling. Anyway I am sure the rest know, so I will give you the reason I knew about the uprising. An uprising will occur when two civs enter a new age and there is a place for the barbs to spawn.
By looking at the techs that the others knew and we did not (Code Of Law) and those we knew and they also knew (for two civs that was all of the AA techs) they could only be missing currency.
The other unknown techs are optional for that age and hence are not required to go to the next age. That told me that they were either in the new age or were soon to be there.
You can also tell by the clothes they wear. We did not have contact with 4 other civs, that could be ahead of us for all I knew. So it was plain to see that barbs either already had popped up or would very soon.
I no sooner saw that and boom next turn we got them. So at least two civs are in the middle ages. The best way to prevent that is to not have any land in the fog.
This is what I meant when I said I would normally have some scouts out to stop an uprising, if I coudl not get the land filled. A properly stationed galley or two would have stopped the spawning.
It cost us as the swords needed to surpress them could have been eliminated Enlgand. It also got me to build a spear that we do not really want.
BTW way optional techs are denoted by the circle with a line across it on the tech in the research screen. Look at Monarchy and Republic for examples.

Glad to hear it. Sometimes a lot of effort is put into some threads to try to impart some info and it fails, so it is great to hear something was of value.

This is one that is ignored by many new players. Another aspect is the one I wanted to point out in the town of PunkBass (I think that was the name).
I presume Whomp intended this issue to mainly be addressed by Husky. I wonder if it would to keep questions intented for training from being lost, if Husky could make a repsonse.
I don't know or something is enough to let others reply. Else some of the ealry ones will be forgotten and nothing learned.

You could give at least a guess or random answer for the win type.
It's not so important to give the right answer, say what you think it's good, or whatever comes first to your mind.
It's not so hard to give such a simple answer. Why don't you try?

1. Winning by Domination happens when you control something like 60% of all the land.
2. Winning by conquest happens when you eliminate all the AI civs
3. Winning by space race happens when you are first to launch the rocket to Alpha Centauri.
Now, CH pick the way you would like to win. which way doesn't matter, but if we choose one it will help us make other decisions. Your task for the next time you are posting is to pick one of those three ways and post your choice. There is no best way or worst way.

You need 66% of the world's land and 66% of the world's population.

I have to go to Texas on business Thursday through Saturday. Will someone please take my turns? Thanks.

Birdjaguar, you forgot:
Diplomatic win happens when the UN is build and you are chosen as a leader.
Histograph win (not something to wish) happens when nobody wins by any of the above means, and the player with biggest score is declared winner.

I just realized that the imports should be fine as long as no one can block the coast on the contient of Palma.
That means the coast needs to be kept from other civs, so you should claim the land. Right now one town sits on the path, but has no culture. For import purposes, I think they would have be at war to block, but I am not positive.
I know that any barb galley would be a blockade, but those should be easy to handle. We have the choke at the top, so no other civs ships can get into the area, if we don't let them.

Don't forget the culture win. 20,000 culture in a single city or a certain amount depending on map-size. IIRC, 60,000 on a tiny map, 80,000 on a small map, 100,000 on a standard, 130,000 on large and 160,000 on huge.
My pc still isn't loading windows...
I hope to get some answers today but I could ask Scout to take my turns if you guys are ok with that.
Chukchi...let's win this thing!
Consider Birdjag's three options. Which one sounds best?

Also it has to be twice that of the next best culture. IOW on a std map 100K is not enough is someone else has more than 50K. I never concern myself with culture wins, but I do worry about culture losses.
Deity and Sid civs can double you with no problem.
Whomp what are the symptoms? Do you get a POST (Power on Self Test) fine? Do you get to the point where you see the memory check?
Have you tried MSCONFIG and enable the Diagnostic startup?
I suspect that the recovery disk is predicated on you having either the OS installed or a recovery folder on the HD.
Since this is a new disk and presuming it was the boot drive, those condition are probably not met. The install disk is need in that case and you need to install XP.
With a new HD, the install will be upset and will require (iirc) a code to work, that you can get from Windows manual or on a sticker on the PC. You need to get a new code, when you have installed more than twice. Yeah I have done that as well. The new code is good for few more times (2 or 3 iirc).
It is handy to have gotten a CD with the service pack to spare the sometimes lengthy time in trying to DL and apply SP's.
If you have gotten the system from a vendor, be it IBM or DELL or whatever, they may offer free support.
Anyway if you can read from the disk, then you got past the POST. That means you have a motherboard, CPU, memory and video. That does not mean you have an OS and of course no OS means no apps.

Do you have an old boot disk, either CD or floppy to test? I keep one all the time. It is a good way to prove that it is not hardware. Always create a boot disk that can support CD's.
This way you format the HD if needed or copy in something from a cab file to replace a lost file in OS. I have had to do that in Win95/98/ME and XP. I also keep an old video card in case I need to prove it is not video. I will also swap monitors.
Hope you get what you need. One other thing you may want to consider is getting one of those standalone HD's. I have a 200GB and copy my HD to it for emergencies.
You can often find them here with a big refund, so you pay less than 60 buck. That is cheap insurance.
