i'm not sure if there are more, almost always i have and am playing with just huts

quote: 2)Can you still capture slaves in battle? If so, have you done this?

yeap, it's the same with ctp1

quote: 3)Can you move air units over enemy land units without initiating a battle? How about surface units over undersea units?

didnt try this

quote: 4)Have you seen the AIs mining plains and grasslands, or do they just go for food improvements?

they do both

more later...

I would appreciate the possibility to choose the language in the european editions - I mean, I would like to play the game in English...

I mean, it would seem to me that the first ring of tiles is much more improtant to city growth and development than it was before, when you could put workers on any tile in the two-ring radius.

of course the most near tiles are more importnat since they are being worked on since day 1. the bigest impact is of course on the distances between cities. given that the city radius can be as much as 5 tiles, if you want your cities to keep growing you'll have to give them more space

quote: 6)Has the purpose of happiness improvements changed? In ctp1, they were primarily to keep your cities from revolting. Has their primary purpose changed in ctp2, perhaps to suppressing crime?

no, it's the same. there are separate city improvements for crime reducement

quote: 7)Have government types changed any of their characteristics? Do Theocracies still require more food than other early gov'ts?

dont think there are major changes in the goverments system. i'll post the full list later today....
