Is there a way to ship food from a city that has plenty to one that does not?

Good to know! Thanks!

>2) In my experience, the starting positions are almost always spread out. How many players do you play against ? Started at either 21, or 19 (max'ed out the size of the map). Right now, I'm at 5 and we have room to grow. >all players start with the same set of units (and no cities, except in scenar...

1) Does it help or hurt to build a city on a resource tile? 2) I set the game up with 1800 by 1000 spaces and find that I have two to three AI players virtually next to me! ARGH! Is there way to get the players evenly spread out? 3) What computer language is the game programmed in? --- Suggestion: h...

Try cutting the amount of food needed to get the next unit of population.

Yeah, the calendar progression is a bit unrealistic. I mean, the amount of years per turn depends entirely on whether certain technologies have been discovered by any player in the world, so with one player researching that tech, all units on the map move faster, all cities produce stuff faster, al...

If you take a settler unit at the start of the game and it can only move one space and if you use a world that is 400 spaces wide, then for an "earth" like ours that is 60 miles per space and you would ONLY be moving at 20+ FEET per day, for 315 days a year, for each of the 50 years of the...

Another question: how does one edit the saved game files? I tried using Word[Im]Perfect and that didn't work (couldn't save it). Notepad didn't work either (that bombs out to the year 4000 vs 220AD).

Is it a good idea to build as many settlers as one can before the granary is built?

I was thinking that maxing out the number of cities might be a good idea.

So, only the yellow citizens are unhappy?

I've seen the display; I'll double-check to see if I can enlarge the icons so I can see who is what.
