P.s. To 'slug's comment: And if you use an Industrious Civ, when you've discovered Replaceable Parts, the Workers don't need the "Democracy Worker Bonus", IIRC.
@peanut35: The Civilopedia in the game gives a pretty good explanation of the difference in Governments.
@Dianthus: Thanks for testing those pesky Barbs.

Is there a way to make sure your fast units retreat? On different occasions I have had faster units that I thought would retreat stay and die. It appears if the enemy is redlined the quick attacking unit will stay more often then retreat, but sometimes they stay even if the enemy is not redlined. Thanks

Just to be water-tight...you need to have enough money to fund all the upgrades...if you want to upgrade 100 knights but only have the money for 99, SHIFT-U will upgrade none.Steve2000 said:
edit: @Marsden There's an element of chance involved in retreating, so obviously when you most want a retreat, that's when the little buggers fight to the death.
re-edit after re-reading: When the defender has been redlined an attacker will never retreat, and fast units can't retreat from other fast units.
Also... an elite unit has the highest chance for retreat. Conscript has the lowest.
I've looked and looked (though admittedly not exhaustively) and I can't find an answer to this one:
Do you get the "razing a city" penalty if you attack a size 1 town and it ends up destroyed? Most of the time my attempt to capture size 1's ends up with it getting flattened (no option to install governer/raze), but sometimes I actually capture it. Is there some method for capturing them intact? (When I go a-warmongering I generally want to capture cities unless the computer placed them especially stupidly. Not to mention I like having most if not all the AI civs happy with me so I can abuse their trust.)

As far as I know, autoraze=raze in terms of attitude. A town will always autoraze if it is size 1 and has no culture.

In C3C, at least, it has to have expanded the borders, <10 culture will still autoraze. I seem to remember this is not the case for Vanilla and maybe PTW.

I remember reading a debate about <10 culture but I could not recall the outcome. The important thing to know is that regardless of version, if the borders have expanded, you can capture.

If POP > 1 you can capture as well...
Starve to 1 (or pop workers)
Then grow to pop 3 and abandon...
Now you have no hit(s) and a clearing to build a new city on the spot you want without any nasty foreignors

Surely that is a situation that could not possibly arise oustide of a test scenario...
A size one town with no culture completes a Great Wonder and you capture it before the borders expand !?

It's possible. There's no city population/culture restrictions on where an SGL can rush a wonder.Bartleby said:Surely that is a situation that could not possibly arise oustide of a test scenario...

Theoreticaly the I for AI could start building a wonder in a 3 shield 2 food desert town. It will take for ever, but it might just finish the turn before you capture it 
But I agree... chances are slim (at best... ) LOL

Sorry i keep posting, but this is a great thread. So my new question has to do with what tech's other civ's know. People mention from time to time that you can press one of the F#'s and find out which tech's other civs know. How do you do that? If it is the foreign advisor, where/how does he tell you? Thanks in advance, and the people who answer these questions are great. Thanks all.

Bear in mind that they may have techs beyond what you can see. For example if they have Nationalism and you don't, they may well also know Communism or Fascism.

No. They pretend they have other stuff to do, such as ensuring World Domination, but in fact they're just waiting for you to talk to them.
