@KR, the wonder crash most likely is caused because of the wonder movie.
How you guys handle tech trading with the AI?

@KR like BEam says, it most likely the wonders movies, those were killing my laptop as well. Go to the ini file and look for the disable wondermovies setting (or something) and set it to 1

KR: I have had forests give up to 79 hammers - or more, I usually do not look. 79 is just the highest I saw.
as for the wonder movies: beam and PP are probably correct! When I build one, the screen turns 'mashed picture' for a second, then plays the vid correctly. but the short interval of weird display shows there is something fishy. Maybe wrong codec or so - I often think #oh, shit, it will crash' (but it always works).

hm. if firaxis are still using the bink codek, that particular stuff is available for free on the creator's website.
dont remember the site, but google for bink and smacker. IIRC. also, you could try to reduce hardware acceleration. screen properties -> advanced tab -> a slider which I cant rememeber the name of I tried that when warcraft 3 was acting up. Of course, I also tried to update my vidcarddriver, which worked even better, so it might not be that this solution would help with anything. at all.

Now thats just dumb.
Ok next hint then, seeing as Maintenance is based on distance from capital dont ever take a city far from home. The maintenance costs are sodding crippling. Melifluous

I notice worker options for build mine and chop forest is ~7 turns but chop forest alone is 4 turns. Does that mean if i choose to build the mie, does than mean i get the forest chop after 3 turns?
And I guess i could WTFM, but has any body figured out the build road from - to option? |

My impression is to keep conquered cities if they have useful wonders then the maintainence cost is worth it.
@Digger I don't think you get the benefit from a chop. That brings up the question which are best to chop? Off river plains tiles first? I think another forest can grow if it's connected to forest tiles too. It seems the hill river forest tiles give pretty good production and should be left alone. Forest management seems huge in Civ4.
