Move him to your city, hit the "Build Army" button in the bottom middle of your screen, and an army unit will appear - you can move units to that city where the Army is and hit the "load" button, and the units will go into the army (up to 3 of them).

Thanks

Any other sites that might not be considered by the stupid program?

*grumbles... *

 

[yagtag7]

Ok, found another one.

Testing...

I see you've found Village Photos. I've had them for several years and have been very satisfied.

 

[yagtag7]

Good. The Babylonians are dead and the puny Zulu are a thorn in my foot. *laughs evilly* Is there any way to make the opponent civs random excluding a certain civ from popping up. I've done random the past several times, and the Zulu scouts are ALWAYS bugging me to death. I'm tired of them.

 

[yagtag7]

Is it possible to remove a unit from an army once it is part of it?

 

[madviking]

no .

 

[yagtag7]

Tell me if the images are getting annoying...

 

[vmxa]

Well this thread is for quick questions and anwsers, not a one man show. You may want to make your own thread for on going dialog.

 

[AutomatedTeller]

no, I don't know of a way to exclude a civ.

Why can't I switch production to 'Palace'?
Many times I put palace in the production chain, and for some reason it seems to be removed automatically? Am I going crazy or am I missing something?

I have built the 'Ancient Palace' already - does that halt the fabrication of other palaces?

Also, is fabricating a palace effective in reducing corruption (yes, I have a bit of a corruption problem).

Here at CFC we use the term 'tainted shields' for shields either hurried or gained by disbanding units. You can not switch to a wonder (great or small) if you have done this previously. The Palace is a small wonder.

The 'Ancient Palace'? You have the Palace and you have the Forbidden Palace. There is no 'Ancient Palace'. You can't have more than one Palace. Don't move it around! Your first city is the city with the Palace.

Yes, but see above. You will only redistribute the misery.

And, you can't switch to a Wonder if you have chopped a forest tile and taken the 10-shield bonus into your city's Production Box.

 

[vmxa]

That is what he said. Tainted shields include chops. He said hurried, I take that to mean cash/pop or chop and specificially he mentioned disbands.

 

[yagtag7]

I'll keep that in mind. There's just one more thing and then I will be thoroughly drained of questions.

Does anybody know exactly how much finishing earlier benefits your score? I got a really good score recently and I was wondering how much finishing before 1300 A.D. helped...

 

[Padma]

I don't recall exactly what the bonus is, but if you finished before 1300, you got a significant boost....

 

[Ailrickson]

Redistributing the misery? The corruption will be transfered to other cities? Oo you recommend making a palace even though I have the forbiden palace somewhere?

 

[Padma]

The Palace is in your first city (Capital) automatically when you settle it. You *can* build it in a different city, but then your capital will transfer to that city.

The Palace is the center of "non-corruption" in your empire. If you move it somewhere else, then that place becomes the new center, and your old cities will become corrupt. Moving the Palace *can* be a viable option in some games.

 

[Corwin of Amber]

You already have a palace in your capital, the first city you built.
