I thought I was a big enough geek for this place... I guess I was wrong.

Often After several hours of play I loose the little white dots that mark the path a unit moves on. This does not seem to cause a problem in the game, they just disappear for no reason; I can figure out.
You might ask, why I am asking now; as this this characteristic seems to have been
there all the way back to the original CivIV.
I would just really like to know.
I have found that the only way I can get the little white dots back is to save and exit the game all the way back to the desk-Top and restart the game. Then I am good for another few hours.

You need to purchase BtS before you can install it; the patches presume you already have the game itself. Also, don't use the in-game patching facility; download the patch and apply it manually.

oops. haha sorry bout that. Anyway, Representation and Bureaucracy are your most important civics in an occ. Check out the Noble's club Peter game in the strategy and tips forum; it's a doctored map but perfect for an OCC.

Apparently I managed to get a religious victory in one of my games, yet never did I (or anyone?) get the AP. There was no vote, and while I had spread Buddhism to everyone but Gandhi, I didn't expect to get any victory at all. Anyone know exactly how I won?

Thank you. I'll be checking those tips and strategies out soon. Sometime BEFORE I make a run at my first HOF attempt. As it stands, I got sucked into playing the Viking scenario via Warlords... but I WILL get to them.

What does game speed do? I don't understand how a turn based game can have different speeds.

Here's my quick question. I just restarted playing BTS after a long break. I recently hit the tech to build Attack Submarines and have access to uranium, but they are greyed out on my build menu. I have NOT yet researched fission, but according to the Civlopedia it is not a prereq. Ideas?
Changing the game speed changes how many turns it takes to build improvements, build buildings & units, and research techs. My math may not be perfect, but if a tech takes 3 turns at Quick to research, it'll take 6 turns at Normal, 12 to research at Epic and, I believe, 18 at Marathon (never play Marathon).
The slower speeds have more turns in a game to make up for it. Very few people play Quick. Marathon isn't scaled quite the same - units are cheaper relative to buildings at Marathon.
Where the differences comes in is that units move the same # of tiles, regardless of game speeds. Therefore, on Marathon, you may have everything explored by the time you research your third tech.
This has 2 consequences for war. After you build a military force, it takes a longer time to go obsolete at slower speeds. At quick, you can build an army of Swordsmen and, by the time they get to the enemy, Macemen are available. Generally, the slower the speed, the better for a warmonger strategy. Also, faster units are more valuable at faster speeds. This definitely includes India's Fast Worker - the best UU at Quick, practically worthless at Marathon.
