Is it possible to play in the real world whit all nations and leaders?
Yes, but that doesn't show the cross of the squares that already belong to another city.gmaharriet said:If you mean when you actually go to place your settler...activate your settler, use "go to" and move your cursor to where you think you'd like to place your new city. You'll see an outline in your civ's color and you can move it around to see what be the best location, and then just click on the square you want.
It is easy to count, but it annoys me and it would be much easier if I could see it at a glance. Especially when there are multiple cities around. I don't like overlap.thamis said:Is it so hard to determine the city radius? It's 2 tiles in either direction, and then one tile up/down left/right from that cross. Easy counting.
Yes, I've done that, but it turns out rather ugly . Thanks though. I wish those lines would disappear when the grid is turned off, or something.corwin90 said:Have you tried using the strategic view to draw lines in the shape of the "fat cross" around the city? I did that in my last came, and it helped me figure out where I wanted to put all my cities.

Apparently they provide electricity and such but I don't see electricity mentioned as a resource or a pre-requisite for building anything(unlike uranium, oil, etc..). It's not mentioned as a game concept or anywhere(that I have found) in the Civilopedia.
I reached a point where I am given the option to build the Three Gorges Dam which provides power to all of my cities on a single continent. Seems impressive, I just have no idea what that will do.
thanks for your time!

Gainy said:Question regarding civics:
In virtually every different civics option it mentions something about maintenance - I have no idea what this is in reference to. Does it affect city improvements costs? Amount of units supported? Corruption costs?
Is there anywhere that gives specific details on the differences in costs?

Pragmatic said:I was looking at some of my cities on the main map, and some of my cities had beakers and gold coins above their growth/construction name bar. I know what the triangle of arrows means, and the red angry face, as well as the list of religions. But I don't know what the beaker and the gold coin mean.
Can anyone help me?
