Can Apostolic Palace trigger a win for the AI as well as me? Dumb question and I'm 90% sure the answer is yes. How exactly do you win WITH AP anyway? i don't get all the voting and whatnot.
In Civ 3 I always turned off Diplo vic because he just seemed to take the fun out of things...Namely conquering expanding and being oppressively influential

Oh yes, definintely! I've lost to the AI that way.Can Apostolic Palace trigger a win for the AI as well as me? Dumb question and I'm 90% sure the answer is yes. How exactly do you win WITH AP anyway? i don't get all the voting and whatnot.

Winning with the AP is pretty cheesy. You first need to spread your state religion to at least one city in every civ on the map, then get them to vote you a diplomatic win. If many/most share your state religion, they're probably Pleased to Friendly anyway, so the vote is not usually what's challenging; it's spreading the good word--which can obviously be easier on some maps than others.
Nice, thanks for the reply sisiutil.
Yeah I think I'm going to start not allowing Diplo wins in BtS...
As Charlemagne I just rushed the AP with a great engineer while waging war against Cyrus, who I shared Buddhism with. He had probably 4 more much larger cities though a much smaller military and was behind in techs. Needless to say he voted against me, as he was the only person I had made contact with (on an island) and he ended up winning.
DOH

Does the Three Gorges Dam have any requirements other than Plastics? I have a game where I know plastics, but am not allowed to build 3 Gorges--it doesn't show up as an option. Which is a shame, cuz I've been saving an Engineer just for it ..

I loved the 49ers in the 60s before Super Bowl success, and I love them now after success. I remain hopeful they will return to prominence.

How are the HOF mod and the BUG mod related to each other? Can I use both? If not, which one is more popular / better?

HOF mod contains many of the same components as BUG but they are separate projects with somewhat different goals. While you can play whatever you want under HOF mod its main purpose is to provide a standard platform for competition games (HOF submissions & GOTMs) and many people use it exclusively for that purpose while running BUG (and/or other mods) for "regular games".

I have a question about the Graphs which you can get to by clicking a button in the upper right hand corner of the screen.
Sometimes it shows only MY score/power line throughout the whole game, regardless of how many Civs I've met, and sometimes it shows the power lines of some or all of the other Civs. I was wondering, what determines if you can see another Civs power status or not? There seems to be no method to it to me, unless theres something Im missing. I'd really know to know my relative power all the time.
Thanks to anyone who could answer this.

If you are playing BtS, you need enough espionage to "see demographics" to make a civ appear on the powergraph.

Hi, I'm new to the game in the last month - and have been playing it way too much these weeks - and have seen a couple of things with culture that I'd like to ask about. I have spent a few hours on this board but I guess I just haven't found the right place to look. Let me describe the situations and maybe that will help me figure out the question.
First, playing a long endgame as Spain, I moved some great artists out to my border with India and did what you folks call a "culture bomb." I had the artists build their great works in a pair of my cities. Shortly thereafter, I saw an Indian town that was near them drop to "6% Indian" and then a turn or two later I got the notice that there was a "Spanish revolt" in that town. But - the town remained Indian until I took it by force many turns later.
The second instance is in my current game. My first great person happened to be a Great Artist, and I moved that artist out to a border town and built his great work there. Initially, the nearest town of the adjacent civilization dropped to "65% English" but then gradually recovered.
I guess my question is: what is the basic timeline of the post-culture bomb period? How do I handle it as either the doer or the receiver? If I move a military unit close immediately after the culture bomb, will that sway the city into my fold? I guess that's more than one question but I'd just like to know the specific post-culture bomb effects on both sides. Many thanks in advance.

I don't know the exact dynamics, but it depends. Culture can be measured, and a culture bomb gives you a certain amount in the city. The city next door will be producing culture of its own depending on the buildings it has and specialists its hired. When a city revolts the second time it will flip. The AI (and human player too) can increase the size of the garrison to prevent the revolt. If this isn't a detailed enough answer, try searching "culture flip/flipping"
