Maybe part of the known map is blank because not all units "map" the terrain, or it is dependent on a technology like "Map Making"?

Re: the merchant: Could it be that it is spawned from a caravan, much like Great Leaders in Civ3 is spawned from combat units?Do not fear, for I am with you; Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God.-Isaiah 41:10

Has the symbol for production (shields) changed? Look at the round button next to the mini map. It seems to have a food symbol, a gold symbol and a little hammer. I would think this might be a button to turn on map symbols to show how many food/gold/shields are produced in each tile (like Civ3 hotkeys do). But that does not look like a shield.

Thx, looking great (never seen this picture)
Though why is it that there's a city in the middle of all the blackness? This is not SMAC where your unit suddenly could be on the other side of the planetIs God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God? - Epicurus

btw, just wanted to clarify something... the unit you see there is not a Civ2 caravan-type unit. It is a Great Person (specifically a Merchant). It does have some Trade Mission functionality, but you can't just build these units, so micro-management is not really a problem.- What's that?

Thanks for the screenshot. Civ4 is looking really interesting.'There is a greater darkness than the one we fight. It is the darkness of the soul that has lost its way. The war we fight is not against powers and principalities, it is against chaos and despair. Greater than the death of flesh is the death of hope, the death of dreams. Against this peril we can never surrender. The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.'"
G'Kar - from Babylon 5 episode "Z'ha'dum"
