True, but in a MP game you really might want to know when that happens.
 
I have Iron with a road connected to my city and yet I cannot upgrade my warriors in the city. Does anyone know a reason why not? There are no other units around, I don't get it. I worked the iron and it is in the city.

As mentioned before, you must have a barracks and a connected source of iron within your cultural borders. Besides that, you need iron working. One more thing: you've got to patch up to version 1.17 at least (iirc) (preferrably 1.29, since that is the latest version) to fix the following problem:

Under the 'old rules', you can't create Unique Units (UU) through upgrading. That means, that if you'd play the persians, you couldn't upgrade warriors to immortals. You can do that under the 'new rules'.
 
Does anyone know a good way to find (if you even have one) your FP? I forgot :(
 
Find your Forbidden Palace? You can't remember where you put it? Go to the culture screen for your adivsors and look at what the cities have built that bring culture to the city. You'll find it soon enough.

Are you sure you made one? If you didn't, maybe it is because you don't have enough cities.
 
FP: Very often it is listed as second city of your civ in the Culture Advisor screen, unless you conquered cities that have lots of Wonders, then you'll find it in your 1st 4-5 cities... :)
 
Is ther a way to find out the culture totals of other civ's. I'm up to 150K with double the score of the highest A.I., but still no culture win...
 
sabo10: I rename the city wiht the FP by adding FP to the name. Then, sort by name :lol:

simpler: sort by 'shields wasted' in F1 - capital and FP city will top the list except for cities in disorder.

I'm not aware of a way. Do you have the "Cultural Victory" option activated for this particular game?
 
Just Great Leaders Wes. (you get them from your elite units defeating other players'/AIs' units (sometimes;1/16 w/o Heroic Epic1/12 with)) Edit Too fast Dojoboy!
I've got a Q about armies in PTW.I know that marine armies now can amphibiously attack, but do all other abilities carry?
Does an explorer army have ATR?(all terrain as roads)
Can a paratrooper army airdrop?
etc.
 
Well, I'm not a newby, but I think I've got a newby question here. What are the requirements to achieve wltkd?
[\quote]

To get WLTKD, a city must:
- Have population at least 6
- Have at least half the citizens happy (citizens counts workers and specialists)
- Have no citizens unhappy
- Have non-negative food for growth (e.g. can't be starving)

I believe those are the only conditions.

Can you find out the enabled victory conditions from a save file?

I know that gramphos has made a tool for save files, but I don't want to accidentally see other information that might ruin the game.
