For the flag reference you could look it up in the flaglist, but it seems to look a little bit incomplete at this place you need to look it up.

1. No, I didn't found it in the ctp2.exe and it isn't therefore in the flaglist. If there would be something additional in that regard I would have tried already. But there is nothing for the commerce tile improvements obviously they forgot, or controlled this by other means, e.g. by the ratio of the other flags or made it terrain depending. Fact is in the original game the AI builds commerce tile improvements on desert tiles.

2. Of course you can try it, but I am afraid it won't work.

2. Try "GoldCities". It's listed in the strategies documentation but isn't used in strategies.txt. Whether or not it will work is anybody's guess.

Well GoldCities doesnt mark an error like CommerceCities did, i havent had the chance to check if its working yet but it ran ok. Thanks.

I figured out the science thing too, but what i dont understand is why they (Activision) decided to put some of the STRATEGY_ science settings at 60/70%, even for futuristic governments, the AI uses that setting.
