Now there's an idea for an expansion Civ.

Question best asked in the form of an example:
1. Set unit to fortify
2. end my turn
3. unit is attacked
Did the unit benefit from a fortify bonus, or is it applied at the beginning of your next turn? Same applies for healing as well. When does the unit actually increase health - at the beginning or end of your turn

I can answer this question. Healing takes place at the start of your turn. So in your example, your unit does not heal before it is attacked (assuming it was damaged).
Thread on Unit Healing
If you hover the mouse over a unit, you will see what its fortification (and other) bonuses are. From that, I observe that the unit has no fortification bonus during the turn in which you fortified it. The question, then, is does the game turn advance before or after the AI Civs or barbarians make their moves. The answer is not known by me, though.
Healing takes place in the turn following a turn in which the unit does not move. Thus, you can't move a mounted unit 1/2 of its movement points, then set it to heal, and expect any healing to have occured in the next turn. If so, that would be a great exploit opportunity.

Hello Folks,
Thank you for all of your help, whenever I come on here and ask questions!
Looking at the City Screens I sometimes notice my red citizens say: "It's too Crowded!"
Now logic would tell me that I would simply need to build another city nearby, or really maybe another village, but that doesn't help. Hmmm...Well, OK, I then turn on "Avoid Growth", and, what the heck, make another Settler and shove him out there to find/found another city...This doesn't appear to work.
And so I turn to y'all...HELP!
Thank you,
John

Read up in the forums on the benefits Whipping.
Basically use slavery to whip out a building (preferably something that also gives a happiness bonus like a temple or something). True you lose a few people, and some of the survivors are displeased for 30 turns or so, but they aren't whining about it as much afterwards.

There's no fortification bonus, the fortification bonus increases at the start of your turn. You can check the Event Log (CTRL TAB or click button in upper left corner) for information about combats that occured and any bonuses and penalties are described in the Combat Log of the Event Log.

The civilization game series wants to simulate the (real life) effect that big cities need more (luxury) resources, better buildings and a nice religion and temple to remain content. Therefore, whenever a city grows by 1, the unhappyness grows by 1. To combat this unhappyness, you'll have to get the luxury resources and the buildings and the religion so that you get more happyness in the city. As long as these are not available, you'll have unhappy citizens that stagnate the growth of the city.
The unhappyness that is related to the size of the city is described by the complaint "It's too Crowded!"
No, it shouldn't affect your score.
Not to my knowledge (but that shouldn't stop you from requesting it in the C&C forum if you really want it!).

Thank you Cabert for the direction to the War Academy. I will go have a look.

Ah, now that's pretty annoying. They really should fix that. If I'd known beforehand, I would have never taken up the vassal. (Yes, his lands count 50% towards my domination limit, but if I conquer him then they count for 100%.
)However, I figured out my own solution to the problem. Luckily I'm playing this game in multiplayer with another guy (who's Asoka), so I'll just gift him a whole lot of units, which he can then send over to declare war on and crush Mansa for me. I can take things from there.

As Ginger_Ale said before, it won't affect your score. However, if you want to you can turn off the ability for the worldbuilder to be opened (it's in one of the Options when you're setting up the game).
Indeed, I feel the same way about the Charismatic trait... it's very nice when the difficulty gets ramped up (and even on the lower difficulty levels too).
Personally, in terms of trait synergies, Hannibal would have to be one of my favourite leaders. Although of course, as in any game you have to take into account more than just the trait synergies, though they're usually the main thing I look for.
A question for you by the way, Roland - do you play multiplayer Civ4 at all?
If so, I'd be very interested to challenge you to a game at some stage! (PBEM, Pitboss, Internet [preferably with no turn timer, and sequential turns if you'd like], or whatever you'd like.) Regardless of who wins, I'm sure that we'd both be able to pick up quite a few hints and tips during the game, and learn a lot more about Civ4 from each other. (Also, I bet some of the regulars from the Question Thread would be interested to keep up with such a game.) What do you think? dbslikacheung

hi everybody.. i have a case.. it has not been solved till now..... here's it:
When i was just simply enjoying Civiv once (not long before), originally all went fine, but then the scene has stoped (and the music got keeping repeating, it is already getting wrong i felt), then the application even ENDED WITHOUT ANY NOTICES and my desktop appears
I didn't save my game... <<< this is not even the point actually.. when i started the application again after few minutes for many times, the same thing occurred: the application AUTOMATICALLY ended when I was just finely playing the game!!!! MY GOODNESS why happening............
until NOW, it has not been solved.... I can't play Civ!! how suffering.... please help..

Oh man, the day we all feared has finally arrived . . . when one of you has been vanquished and cast out of the Civilization community in disgrace, it will take twice as long to get a definitive answer on this page!
To prevent this cataclysm, I'll sacrifice myself. Why don't you both play against me, and then you can compare notes as you go. "Yeah, we could have beat him in 3994 BC using your fishing boat of death strategy".

Heh, hardly... it'll just mean that we'll both be able to give even better answers, I hope.
Oh, and I can play more than one game at once, so I can play with you too if you'd like. (Or alternatively, we could all be in the same game. )
Incidentally, you can recover your games even if you have not saved them. Simply click "Load Game" as usual, but then click on the "auto" folder inside the "single" folder. This is the autosave folder, which (providing you have not disabled or altered it) will save your game every 5 turns as you play it. Thus, you can reload the last autosave, and it should be the same game that you were last playing, perhaps up to 4 turns behind the turn you were on when Civ4 crashed. But the important thing is that you can reaccess your game; the save is not lost!

)This happens to me occasionally as well... it just seems to be an odd flaw with Civ4. It usually happens when I have had my computer on for a long period of time, and/or have been in Civ4 for a long time. I find that the solution is often to simply turn the computer off, then turn it back on again a few minutes later - this seems to work, perhaps because it clears the memory usage or something. In any event, it means that I can once again play Civ4 without it crashing on me.hi everybody.. i have a case.. it has not been solved till now..... here's it:

What is it exactly you want us to do? Give you advice for Civ4? Sorry, I just couldn't understand from your post.
