I'm in early middle ages...
1. Why don't my cities grow larger than 12?
2. How do you create water trade routes? My African and Scandinavian
cities need to be connected...

I started playing civ4 and I really love it.
But it is starting to go so slow between the turns.  I play now in 1950 and
It takes about 5 minutes between the turns.
I think I have a fast  PC (P4).  Does anyone else have the same problem with

I have been running Civ III (the basic version, not Conquests nor PTW)
for several months on my PC without any real issues. The version on the
lower left of the menu screen reads v2.07f (f might be c - I'm away
from my game pc). Now every time I load up a certain saved game, the

I just got fired on by my own troops. I was trying to send a damaged
mechinized infantry back into a city and they destroyed it. Also I just
had a mechanized infantry destroyed by  a calvalry again. How does that
happen, doesnt seem like that makes much sense.

What should I do about global warming causing all of the land to turn
into a desert in civ 3.I've tried building mass transit and recycling
but the land is going to pot. Also I'm having starvation problems. How
do I deal with starvation. Do I eliminate workers? Is there a way to

See the subject.
Right from the start, I have no city garrison available to upgrade my units.
Does anyone have an idea ?

I am playing Civ III for some days now. I hurried the Colossus in a
coast town, but the Colossus doesn't have any effect. I don't see any
added commerce on any square in the city view.
What's wrong?

Can tactical nukes be dropped by bombers? I bult some nukes in cities
that can't reach my enemies, Shouldn't I be able to put them in a plane
or a truck? Damn!
Also I won a game and then I was told that I'm "lincoln the pathetic".

Playing vamnilla Civ III, and I acan never get my bonbmers to fly off
of my carriers.  What's UP?

    Where might I find some printable charts or tables with
wonder/improvement/tech=unit production capability?  I spent many, many
hours playing the original Civ, back in the day but I never played Civ 2
and only picked up Civ3 Complete on a whim after fiddling with FreeCiv a

At the start, do you create as many new cities as possible ASAP, or
build up your first ones a bit before expanding?

I just started playing this game and is it me or is the manual
completey inadequate as far as teaching you how to play the game goes?
I hope someone can help me with a few questions.
1. How do you get taxes from your citizens. The manual said that when

I recently had to reinstall win XP on my machine, neccessitating a
reinstalation of Civ IV.   But now it won't play (it did before).  It
keeps asking me to insert the Play CD, and doesn't detect either CD1
or CD2 when I insert them in my CD drive.

I'm trying to multi-select a stack of workers without success.
Instructions tell me Shift-Click on a pile of units located on one
square to multi-slect. This doesn't work for me. I'm wondering if it's
my version of Civilization III (1.07f), which I'm having trouble

Civ 4 needs more civilizations. It also needs real maps, the map of
Florida would be nice. Or the map of China, Greece, etc.
