comment How many workers do I need for my cities?
@DJClayworth You may simply play differently than I do, and so need less. I like my cities to expand as quickly as possible so I 1) build cities where they have lots of food resources, 2) focus on improving food resources first almost exclusively, 3) commonly build granaries, 4) Keep my cities happy an healthy. Still, some cities finish growing or only grow slowly. Just count them as needing half a worker each, and send him off to build roads. In short, if you're building unnecessary improvements, that's how you know you've built too many workers. Build less next time.

comment Anyone else experience jerkiness in games when holding shift key down?
Maybe your keyboard has hardware limitations? Does it happen to be wireless? Is it USB or older connector?

comment How can I level water?
+1 for OCD. I can very much appreciate. I used to move my whole city one square to the left in Sim City.

comment How much trade-route bonus does Arabia get in Civ5?
This has been observed true through gameplay. Also note that Arabia gains extra oil in the game, which the manual does not mention.

comment What's up with generic disapproving diplomatic statements from other civs in Civilization 5?
In previous games, what other nations complained to you about depended on the other nation. IE Egypt saying you're 'uncivilized' might not mean you're low on culture in general, but they you're low on culture compared to Egypt. (And in Civ 4, who wasn't?) Sadly, I have no idea how to figure out which way the Civ 5 actually works, since these messages are so random.
