Gah. For some reason there are no emulators for pixel shaders. looks like we're stuck with bread only until this bug gets squashed.
Distraction pointed me to this posting. I have the same problem too. Like most everyone else, my card is an nVidia GeForce 4 MX 440.
Incidentally, I tried installing new card drivers when I first saw the bug. It didn't help, but it gave me the black screen instead of terrain. I then uninstalled Civ 4 and reinstalled it -- that fixed the black terrain at least, but I still have the missing hammers and coin bug.
Also, I did try unpacking the art using the instructions from the civ4 site. Didn't help the tile yield problem.
It's great to know that so many other people have this problem -- that way maybe Firaxis will try to fix it. I felt bad at first complaining about this, since other people apparently have far worse problems.

I also have a problem that I haven't seen anyone else mention. The name of the cities and what they are producing is shown in light blue rectangular blocks...its really wierd. The credits are the same way, and so is the area above the exit to main menu, exit to desktop etc screen. It must be a problem with the text. Anyone else have any idea on how to fix this?

Add another one to your list
nvidia GeForce2 MX400.
I see bread only which is annoying because it makes it a pain to work out how the tiles should be worked in a city. The only other problem i have is that the audio is jumpy in the intro but nowhere else. Apart from that the game has been working fine which make the bug even more annoying

Me too. I have a Geforce 2
It wouldn't be a show-stopper except that the game runs so slowly that it takes several minutes just to roll the cursor manually over each square to see what it produces. Together these two problems make it more or less impossible to micromanage.

I've reported this problem to tech support - no response yet. Has anyone else tried contacting them?
They should know that a lot of us are having this problem.

Also have to live with bread only with my GF4 MX440
yep.... crap bread only aswell...
Nvidia Geforce 4 MX4000 128mb.
can see the flood plains through fog of war aswell!
and another thing ive noticed is the city names on some cities when close to the edge of the screen move a few tiles to the left or right of the city???
then when you re-center the city it go back under the city! 
my only salvation is a 6600gt on order and awaiting arrival in two days!

Hello
On the support site it shows the ini file on how to enable logging http://www.2kgames.com/civ4/support_logging.htm but above the logging command line (a couple of lines up) theres a line stateing Enable Nvidia PefHUD and is set to zero. Could someone try this? as i'm still waiting for my game.

@Wilhelm: stop telling people to buy a new graphic card please. It says right on the box that's it should work. I had the black terrain at first so I downloaded the latest drivers and now I can see the terrain. But there doesn't seem to be any fix for the food-only-bug on a card that's supposed to be supported, hence it's a bug. I understand that a more recent card would probably solve the problem but I do think that in this case, the responsability lies with Firaxis (or T2K or whatever).
However, if they ever have the guts to say "ok sorry guys but you absolutely need a card with pixel shading" or "sorry, we looked at the problem and we can't solve it" then I'll buy a new card. But before spending 200-300$, I'll wait for the patch.
