StoneHenge

[niffweed17]

if you're not playing as a cultural civ, stonehenge is critical for border expansion. if you are cultural, it's not quite as important.

Watch your mini-map before and after stonehenge. When you start out, your capitol is centered in the mini-map, and it zooms out as necessary to contain the explored territory. After you get stonehenge, the mini-map zooms out completely and you see where your civilization is in relation to the rest of the world. This is particularly useful on island and continent maps, because you know where your island is and can more easily guess in what direction to start exploring for other islands.

So "centers the map" could possibly be called "shows the world boundaries".

I've always wondered at what point the minimap shows the rest of the world.

actually probably a better term is "centers the map"!

Stonehenge or oracle a must if i get a early religion for the priest GP points to get a shrine.
I find myself building it when i got stone and can build it in 5-10 turns inbetween settlers.
Certainly saves u 30h or 45h(epic) in your other citys also to expand your borders.
Its definatly a nice wonder imho.

About the holy cities, I must be missing an identifier. I usualy never can tell when I have one, unless I have a great prophit and then suddenly it tells me I can build this or that.

You can find your own holy cities (and which nations have founded which religions) by going to the religion hot button (praying hands) in the upper right corner.

Probably not, since that term leaves you clueless and wondering what the heck it does.

"Reveals relative location on world map" would be more more accurate but it's kinda long

How about "You are here"?
