Civ IV, Warlords, and BTS. Are they separate games, or is it just a matter of downloading the patch. I have just downloaded 1.74 from 1.61. So if I wanted BTS, could I just download 302. or do I have to go and buy either warlords or BTS ?
Is this a good starting location? I mean, obviously the tundra and ice is bad. But do all the resources around make up for that? By the way there were two tribal villages right by me - Hunting, and Mysticism.

So I tried some suggestions. Whipped my main cities' population to hell and back. I got loads of temporary unhappiness from this, and finally when it went down I had a city with equal happiness (8:8 or so) and with little population, making it quite unproductive. With all my new catapults and Berserkers, I declared war on Bismarck. The battles were a lot more tedious than I thought they'd be, I had some bad luck, and made a few silly mistakes so I had to re-capture a city a few times when I shouldn't have.
Anyway, I finally captured 3/5 of his cities (which took longer than you'd expect,) and I saw Shaka with a huge amount of units on my border. I guess he got pretty angry that I refused to give into his ridiculous demands earlier. The rest of my army was further to the North attempting to capture the German's fourth city... and even if they were back there to help the poor 2 Berserkers left to defend, I doubt I would've won. So at this point I know it's over. In any case, I continue. Shaka declares war, and immediately so do Suryavarman and someone else... I guess they became his vassals and I didn't notice. At this point it was about time to click 'Exit to desktop'
Better luck next time I suppose, and I'll make sure I pick a better starting location, map, and civilization, too.

We could spend a lot of time on this one.I have a quick question:
What are the things to look for (terrain-wise) when planning city specialization? For example, I know a good military production city is one that is built on/ around hills, so that one can build many mines to work. However, I'm unsure about some of the other types of city specialization. In other words, what would be a good location for:
a Science city
a GP city
a commerce city
(I'm a little less fuzzy on this one, and thus have a more specific question for it: Should they be inland near commerce-rich floodplains or by commerce-rich oceans/ lakes?)
a food city (or is this rather unneccesary?)
etc.
I usually generalize my cities, and build a decent array of farms, cottages, workshops and other things around every city. I hear this is less effective than city specialization, however, which is why I am asking this question.
I realize there is probably information on this elsewhere, but I thought I might as well ask the question directly, in addition to searching.
That was not as quick as I thought.
You need not worry about the Tundra and Ice because they are not in your fat cross. Everything outside your fat cross (except resources) may just as well be a Swirling Vortex of Terror.Is this a good starting location? I mean, obviously the tundra and ice is bad.

There is a civic that allows spending of GP to rush production, can someone remember which civic that is and how do you spend your GP to rush production anyway?
Sometimes I have had plenty of money in the bank and seemingly nothing to spend it on.
