Firstly thanks to all in this group for all the hints and tips you
have posted which allow me to enjoy the game more
A question on average how many farms would you build per city and how
many workers per city

I build a city on the coast. It's got 1 fish resource. I build a
workboat and go to the fish resource and then build a fishing boat out
of the workboat. All is good.
What about all the other ocean squares? Totally useless or did I miss

The manual that comes with CIV4 Gold Edition states that the complete
manual is on disc 3.  There is not a manual there.  How do I get to it?

You build 2 scouts and set them on auto-explore. 40-50 turns later you
want to find them. How do you do that?
Thanks, in advance

Not a lot of message traffic in this group, so I thought
I'd see if I can stir something up.  I always check in
here before I fire up the game, just in case there is
some particularly inspiring story or strategic insight.

One recommendation I have read (with particular relevance for a culture
victory) is the building sequence
warrior-scout-monolith-worker-barracks-warrior-settler. Others say that
building a worker very early is paramount, and the game developers seem to

1) A worker can build a 'cottage' that expands. What good is it?
2) I built a workboat and as soon as I moved it into the sea it jumped
right back into the city. What gives there?
Thanks
