Possibly stupid question time....

Hi,

First time poster, I'm sure i'll get flamed for top posting or something ( whatever that is ). But I have a really basic question, even though I have been playing the game for a while.

Am I right in presuming that you can't get access to the civilopedia entries for the city improvements via the city screen. I know you can find their entries on the pop-up box that appears when changing production, and i'm aware of the ways to pop up the civilopedia for varies aspects of the city screen, ( corruption, luxuries, etc ). But I have never been able to find out how to open up the 'civilopedia' for the individual improvements ( and moreover, what they do ). I have tried the shortcut, that doesn't work.

Any ideas?

Try right-clicking on it.

No, there is no civilopedia shortcut in the build menu of the city screen.

I'd like to have one as well. I always right click on the shields to open the civilopedia and then search the entry but it is quite annoying.

I always use that pop-up menu for changing the build orders. I agree, there is no way to get to the Civilopedia from the city screen.

Run notepad/spreadsheet the same time as civIII with your notes and switch back and forth. Use the MS window key to switch between applications.
