Depends on the amount of commerce that you're losing to corruption. In the bigger cities not close to the capital it would work out. But in your ring one and ring two cities it might actually hurt.

Of course, by the time you actually can build them, you should benefit from them.

Thanks for pointing that out. (Welcome to CFC, btw.)

How do I create armies using the Military Academy? I have looked through the manual and several of the FAQs without any results. Hopefully someone here can help me....

Simply build the Military Academy in the desired City. You can only build armies in the city that has this small wonder (you build armies like any other units, cept only in the one City)

Hope that helps, and Welcome to CfC!

And you need 4 cities for every army you want to support. 4 to 7 cities will support 1 army, 8 to 11 cities will support 2 armies, etc.

And they're hideously expensive, so make sure that you've put the MA in a high-production city.

 

[MCueball]

Thanks for your help. I must have overlooked it in the build list. Wasn't exactly awake then.....

 

[Turner]

Ah, yes. The dangers of playing tired. Been there, done that. You are one amoung many! In fact, I think a lot of Civ is played when the user is too tired to play.

Click on 'User CP' at the top of your page.

Look for the box marked 'Signature', it should be about the seventh box down.

Put whatever you desire in here. There are a couple of rules:

From the Forum Rules
Keep your signature brief.
This forum has a signature feature that allows you to "sign" your posts with a customized block of text. However, large signatures that take up more than 5 lines are not permitted. Everyone would agree that people are much more interested in reading your ideas than looking at your signature. It's annoying to see posts that have signatures that are much bigger than the messages in the post. Please keep your signature brief.

It should be noted that the signature shouldn't be any bigger than five lines of normal text. So if you want something bigger than that, you'll need to put [size=1]sig text here[/size] in order to 'shrink' it.

why do sometimes ships won't disembark?

Units may do only one embark/disembark action per turn.

Note: Load/unload while in harbor/city doesn't count toward movement/(dis-)embark.

A couple of questions...

1.When attacking from the blue dot to the red dot, would that count as attacking across a river? I've always assumed, and been pretty sure that it doesn't, but never certain. Damn river graphics...

2. Regarding the town/city/Metropolis state/symbol thingie. Capitol cities are always one bigger than they should be. Ie, When your capitol is size 1 - 6, then it looks like a City. When it is size 7 - 12, it looks like a metropolis. My question is, does it get the bonuses of a City when it is a town, a metro when its a City? (i've always assumed so, just never been sure).

Thanks in advance

 

[anarres]

1. Rivers run along the edges of tiles, so I have always assumed that going across the corner of a tile would require a river to cut across that corner. Here, the river comes to the corner and ends there.

If you are not 100% where the river is flowing then turn on gridlines (Ctrl+G) and clear the map, but set mountains and hills and everything else (except rivers) to be hidden (Ctrl+Shift+N) - then you should have a perfect view of where the rivers are.


2. AFAIK a city is size 7 to 12, and metros are size 13+, so you only get the bonus when it is that size.

Regarding the graphics: Have you noticed that Walls only appear in 'Towns' (size less than 7)? When the size reaches 7 (= 'City') the Walls dissapear, as expected.

What do people use to create new units? Do you need to know special software code or something or is there a program you can buy?

 

[Turner]

This kind of thing is better suited to the Creation and Customization forum. This forum is dedicated to that sort of thing, and you'd get a better answer quicker there.

I installed the latest patch, but didn't see any corruption slider come up.

I just want two simple things: reduce corruption (max66% maybe?) and increase the # of cities/map size value (Standard map up to 24 from 16)

that's it. I've found a huge number of mods but i don't want to mess with the game too much, i've barely begun to play it. But, like others, i just CAN'T stand that much corruption.

so... is there a simple thing i can do to find and install the minimum mods to change the things that bug me without adding lots of new governments etc. etc.?
