    • Civilization IV: Civilization Reference
      by Martin Gühmann

      If you've been looking for a comprehensive, interactive reference tool for Civilization IV and its Warlods and Beyond the Sword expansion packs your wait is over. Apolyton Civilization Site staff member Robert "CyberShy" Plomp has exhaustively put together such a resource that comes in a general and unit-speicifc variety.

      Through an array of drop-down menus, mix and match combinations of particulars from the basics such as civilization and civics to particular buildings and bonuses on the 'General' sheet, and type through required technology with the 'Unit' document. Information is displayed in data-rich but easy-to-follow table format with colourful icons and pleasant shading.

      Should you any updates needed in future that have not been applied (e.g. as a result of one or more patches), contact Plomp directly.

      If you wanna comment on this please to so in the related forum thread Civ4 Interactive Series Reference Sheets.

    • Civilization 4: Civilopedia introduction
      by Martin Gühmann

      This section lists all known Civilizations and Leaders, Buildings, Wonders, Units, Promotions, Advances, Terrain Types, Improvements, Resources, and Civ4: Civics featured in Civilization IV. Most of the information in this section was taken directly from the ingame Civiliopedia. All information in this section has been updated for the latest version of the game, which is 1.61. Information on the warlords expansion is not included. There is (will be) a seperate Civilopedia for warlords.

      If you find any errors in the information presented here, please let us know.

      We have recently finished updating the Civilopedia. It should now be entirely up to date for the 1.61 patch. Our next project will be to write a seperate Civilopedia for the Warlords expansion.

This bonus is listed the 'Effect' column. In addition all luxury resources give +1 happiness, and all food resources +1 health, to every connected city in your civilization, if they are improved. Strategic resources are needed to build certain units, and speed up the production of some buildings and wonders. Their effect is listed. Yield is the extra amount of Food, Hammers & Commerce that improving the resource yields to the tile the resource is on. Under the name of each resource, the terrain types on which the resource can be found are given. These are for standard map settings, obviously on custom-designed maps or map scripts this can be different....
