When you settle a city a city on a resource( stone, for example) the stone is already builded with a quarry on the city or that stone won't produce?

If you settle on Stone, the city produces +1 hammer automatically (settling on other resources may get you +1 food or +1 commerce as well, depending on the resource). You don't get the usual resource tile yield that you would by improving the tile normally.
You will have access to the resource for game purposes (health, happiness, etc) once you research the tech that would normally allow access to the resource (e.g. Masonry for Stone, Calendar for Silk)

The food, commerce and hammer yield of the centre tile is the maximum of the output of the bare unimproved tile and a 2
, 1 
, 1 
tile. So a city founded on a desert stone tile would give 2 , 1 and 1 but a city founded on a plains hill stone tile would give 2 , 3 and 1 because the bare output of the plains hill stone tile is 3 .TheRepublic

Does the "why dont you attack..." option when talking to civs at war with your enemy ever actually work? do they heed it at all?

What is the difference between different coast types in the custom games settings menu?

Can someone please tell me if special resources such as copper, aluminum, uranium can be 'used up'? For example, if you've built nuclear power plants, will there be less uranium available for ICBMs?
I ask because I played a game last night in which I was doing very well by my standards, but then I reached the modern era and was unable to build tanks or aircraft of any type even after all the required techs were researched.
Thanks.

The Statue of Liberty gives a free specialist - perhaps in every city on the same continent, I'm not sure.

Resources are never used up or consumed (not even by corporations, despite what the game tells you). In your case, most likely a spy sabotaged your improvements, or your improvements got absorbed by rival culture.

Mercantilism also gives a free specialist.

Don't industrial parks provide a free engineer specialist?
Ah right - that was it. I usually don't build those. When you get the other free specialists they don't show up on the bottom where the settled great people go as this one did.

No. Do you have the same query?

Blue Marble is a collection of art files. Go to your whateveryoucallit/Documents/CIV-whichever-version-you-use/CustomAssets/Art/
Within the ....../Art folder, the Blue Marble stuff is all in the folder called "Terrain". If you have no other mods installed there, just delete the entire Terrain folder. If you need it with a new mod, it will be recreated. Alternatively, open the Terrain folder and delete everything in it. Or if you only want to get rid of some of the Blue Marble features, you can move them out of the folder to a temporary storage area and run CIV to see the effect. Move things in and out until you get what you want. I got rid of some of the ocean effects on my machine because "fog of war" ocean and unexplored ocean looked so much the same on the minimap that I could not tell where I had already explored.
Actually, there may be one or two other folders in /Art/ that come from Blue Marble. So, if you have no other mods installed, you can just delete the entire Art folder.
REMEMBER these changes should be made in your Document folder not the CIV application folder!!!!
Good luck!

I don't know which coast option that you mean, but likely The Complete Guide to Map Creation can help you. It has lots of pictures of how the maps will look.
The AI doesn't think that the idea of attacking the other AI is an attractive option. Likely the 'to be attacked AI' is just too strong. Check the power ratings (not the scoreboard ratings) of the two AI's in question. The one that you're trying to bribe is likely weaker than the one that you'd like to be attacked.

This actually makes me think of one of my ongoing questions.... Some technologies provide a "free" specialist. [I think this answers the question - sort of - I forget which tech provides which specialist.]
Here's the questions...
When you get a "free engineer", for example, does one "magically" appear in each of your cities?
If you capture ones after that, do they appear there, too.
And if you get a "free specialist" - generic... What do you have to do? Go visit each city and select one??
Hello, everyone! I've tried searching the forums (well, this thread) to see if this question has been asked before, but I didn't find it.
I'm trying to experiment with the different options in the Custom Game menu, just to see how things turn out. Interestingly, when I select "Closed" for Team 2 and all of the following teams (trying to be the only Civilization in the game, even closing out other AI civs), other civilizations are still in the game. Does anybody know why this is, or how to actually close out all other teams?
Both times I have tried this, I have set most of the other features such as Map Size to "Random." I'm wondering if that has something to do with it. Like when the game is generating the map size, it reverts to the default number of civs for that size, and that overrides my selections.

Some technologies give you a free great person when you're the first to discover this technology. The great person will appear in one of your cities, activated and awaiting your orders.
A great person is something very different than a specialist.
That could very well be the reason.
Each map size has a different standard number of civilisations. You'd normally want the game to adjust the number of civilisations to the map size that is randomly picked. I guess that is what the game does and it overrides your own choice of number of civilisations.
