I see lots of mentions of BUG mod on the forums but no descriptions of what it actually is. Help?

question on unit production:
Now and then I'll see that to build a unit that normally takes say 5 turns will take just say 1-2 turns. Why is this? Random?
Thanks

production left over from your last build will carry over to the next, reducing its build time

Ah, thanks!
I really, really hate that I found this site. There are so many helpful people and there is tons of great reading.
I'm supposed to be working, yet all I can do is check out this site and dream about what I'm going to do next when I play. And my laptop with Civ on it is sitting right here begging to be turned on.
Must ... resist ...

Just a quickie: do fights with barbarians give you points towards a great general? If not I've just got one purely through my support of piracy
Fights with barbs do not contribute towards GGs. However, attacks on AI ships with Privateers (which is what I gather you're talking about) is an increasingly infamous and sneaky way to earn GG points (since no declaration of war is required).

I don't think so. One gives Drill 1, the other Drill 1 and 2. Neither the protective trait nor the Oromo warrior bonus gives the Drill 3 promotion.
But I've never tested it.

How long do leaders "refuse to talk" after you agree to another civ's request to cancel deals with them? I'm playing a Marathon game (on Emperor difficulty and Unrestricted Leaders, if that makes any difference), and Gandhi of the Babylonians has been refusing to talk to me for what seems like about 50 turns now. I'm guessing it must scale with game speed, but around 50 turns of refusing to talk seems a bit ridiculous on any game speed! (I've attached a savegame if that helps.)
Also, in the same game, the Blessed Sea quest has been given... and it requires cities on sixteen land masses! How is the number of land masses calculated for Blessed Sea? Either way, 16 seems far too high for any map, particularly this one (if you look at it, you'll see that the only patch of islands that could be settled are on the exact opposite side of the world).

That's what I thought, thanks for the confirmation. Long may my shiny general Blackbeard continue this dominance of the seas with his 28 base exp points
It's a pretty crazy quest - never completed it myself
Quest1:
Blessed Sea
Prereq: GALLEY or CARAVEL or GALLEON AND State Religion BUDDHISM or CONFUCIANISM or TAOISM AND Minimum number of Landmasses is 2*default number of players for this map size (12 for standard) AND Maximum number of Landmasses you have cities on is 0.5*default number of players for this map size (3 for standard)
Obsolete: INDUSTRIALISM
Active/Weight: 85/300
Aim:
Have cities on 1.5*default number of players for this map size (10 for standard) landmasses while never switching State Religion
Result:
1.convert 20 own cities to your state religion
2.gain a temple in every city size 5 or more
3.get on great prophet unit

I looked into an xml-file and it says contactdelay is 20. So whether that means a random value between 1 and 20 or just 20. I think the first, because these things are usually random. This is then probably multiplied with the gamespeed multiplier. So I guess that makes it 1-60 on marathon speed.
I've seen many remarks that this period of no communication takes a very long time.
From memory it's [1.5 * default number of players on that mapsize]. It's probably doable on an archipelago map, but very hard on other maps.

Yeah, Gandhi just started talking to me about 10 turns later. That was a long time... perhaps unreasonably so. (Most other deals - eg Open Borders, resources - don't last longer on Marathon than Normal speed, so why should the "refuse to talk" scale so viciously?)
Yeah, I've only done it once before, and that was on a duel sized map. (Mind you, I haven't exactly played a lot of Civ4 in the last few months.
)Thanks Charlie_B for your detailed answer too.
Let me just say, Lord Parkin, that there are some intense resource clusters on that map, especially with things like gold, gems, and silk! It's a very cool map too, almost like one thin long continent (a few one tile gaps).
I checked the HE work Ok even with 'red word' tks all.
More question
1. Any tools can destroy/sell my own city improvement in city window ?
2. Any tips can check each city improvement's running cost ? by my memories old version of this game have shown the future situation before/after adding the city improvement.
tks in advance.

- Unlike previous versions of the game, you cannot get rid of city buildings/improvements.
- Buildings no longer contribute to your maintenance costs. That is now based upon distance from the palace, population, corporations, civics, the presence of maintenance-lessening buildings (the main one being the courthouse), and so on.
Bro, you inspired me. tks.
So, if the small city is too far away from captial. that could be a burden....
Do you have some tips for manage a big land mass ?
just set more auto build on the inland city ?
I have the basic Civ 4 atm
