Question: I notice in a lot of posted games here, people are switching civics in golden ages without facing anarchy. However, I try this and I always lose a turn in my golden ages and end up reloading and waiting until the end so not to waste a turn. Is this only a BTS thing?

It is definitely a BtS-only feature.

Hate to sound pushy but does anyone have an answer to this?
Also while I'm here, does the palace count towards a city's national wonder limit of 2? I appear to be able to cue up two national wonders in my capital, but I want to make sure it's fine to do so.

I dont have any UB's are they from an expansion pack or warlords?
I have version 1.09 its a very old game which I finally got around to playing

Warlords.
Looks like you and I are buying the expansions soon.Download the 1.74 patch for Vanilla, though. It makes a lot of important changes (like only revealing Horses once you get Animal Husbandry, and making forest chopping less effective overall but more effective with time).

Depends what you are getting. The best idea is to ask directly to the person who created it, or else in the creation and customization forum, with more details about what you want.

In BTS Is it posible to capture GP by DoW-ing the intended victim then moving a military unit into their territory and onto the traveling GP?
no - Great persons are destroyed that way.

Someone please explain to me how these two cities are connected to each other. This is before researching Sailing. The two rivers you see are not connected to each other, but terminate along the same coastline, which is in neutral territory. No roads have been built yet.

If there had been a continuous connection of connected river tiles with your culture on it, then it would be clear as you can use rivers as a connection if they're inside your culture (before sailing). But even that's not the case here. Note that sailing only became a prerequisite for river trade in BTS. So before BTS, these cities would be connected from the start.
I don't know why you can trade in this case...
Maybe Danf knows as he posted this post about trade which shows that he looked into the code a lot:

What do you mean by the bold bit? Because the tile 1E of York has both rivers flowing past it (if you look carefully, the York river bends 1S of York, and the London river bends 1E1SE of York; so they both grant their +1If there had been a continuous connection of connected river tiles with your culture on it, then it would be clear as you can use rivers as a connection if they're inside your culture (before sailing).

I don't exactly know how the connected tiles thing works exactly according to the game engine.
For instance an explanation could be that the York tile is connected to the York river, the river connects it to the tile 1 east of York, this connects it to the London river which connects it up north in the direction of London. It's likely that the game engine connects tiles and then forgets about the reason why they're connected. So York is connected to the tile 1 east of York through the York river while the tile 1 east of York is connected to the tile 1 northeast of York through the London river. However, I don't know how trade passes the culture gap between London and York.

I'm in the midst of my second game and I had a question. I turned off only taking the capital to wipe out a nation(turning on complete kill), and then wiped out one enemy. I've checked the whole world map, but he is nowhere to be found, yet he is still on my score screen, and I'm still technically at war with him. What's up with this? Does he have a random worker wondering around the map, or a scout or something? Help me out here. Thanks!

You play Vanilla, and in Vanilla you don't need Sailing for river trade; it's automatic. Both cities are adjacent to connected rivers, hence they act as trade conduits to all cities on those rivers.

Yes, it could be anything. As long as he has some unit which can be anywhere on the map, then he'll live. That's the disadvantage of the option.

Just one point: without the 'complete kill' option, you have to destroy all of a civ's cities to wipe them out - not just the capital. However, should you take the capital while an enemy civ still has other cities left, one of their other cities will become the capital.
I haven't looked at how Civ4 handles this, but in Civ3, a Settler was considered as good as a city for determining if a Civ was destroyed. The common problem there was the "Settler on a boat", in some hidden corner of the map.
