	No buildings available? Support Apolyton, buy GURPS/ Alpha Centauri

I seem to have these games with a wierd twist. Most recently I found myself in the early AD years with a number of cities, and none of the larger ones, including my capital, were able to build any buildings.

What I mean is that the list of items to build listed only military units, no buildings.

I imagine it's just a case of outbilding my technological era, but I've never seen it before.

This one also has another wierdness, in that it took me up to 1520 AD to discover gunpowder!

Given the JP Wagner aversion to bloody conquest, I have a feeling I'm going to lose this one. At least, I don't think I'm likely to make it to AC.

	Support Apolyton, buy Civilization III: Complete

you've built every building that your current tech level will allow. And both problems are a symptom of a lack of trade. To reiterate a mantra that seems to be going around here, build lots of caravans, and then when you think you have enough, build some more The other thing to check would be if you have a good infrastructure of roads, especially on plains and grasslands. Trade is the key to everything in Civ II

I think you need to build caravans.

And when you've built enough...
