1-Why does the "rename city" option not come up automatically? (i adjusted teh .txt file to "yes" but the name won't lock in) - will this be fixed?
2-What are the Feats of Wonders, they are not listed in the manual or GL (and i found a .txt file w/ some info, but not enouhg, and i shouldn't have to hunt through program files to find this!)
3-is there an equivalant of stonhenge? to help feed my people?
4-what is "diplomacylog=" for in the profile menu? i would lke to see a list of past foriegn interactions if possible
5-i found a throne.txt file and a "throneroom=Yes" line in another file. so,is there a throne room that can be activated? (the files dont appear to be CTPI leftover)

and most important of all...
6-where is the option to sell my city improvements???

comments: so far teh game is MUCH better than I was thinking it would be, and i am happy with it so far, but only have been playing for 2 hours. The AI seems much smarter, and the UI only jerks every once in a while, other than that the UI is very fast. the interface is very nice (i only fumble trying to get all city units (fortified and sleep) to show under the units tab though)

No idea, I just choose rename from the right click list. So you're saying there's an option to have it pop up when you first found a city?

These are little rewards for being the first to find a revolutionary technology. For example for being the first to discover computers you get 5% to all science for 15 turns.

Don't think so. The only wonder that helps growth I can see is the Modern one "Penicillin"

Don't miss the throne room to be honest, I usually turned it off.

In the City Manger Window under Inverntory.

Hmmm.. It worked for me. I just changed the line that had AutoRenameCities = no to yes in the userprofile.txt file in the ..\ctp2_program\ctp folder and it now automatically asks for a new city name each time I build one.

BTW, how do you get those quoted messages in your replies?

AutoRenameCities only works if AutoOpenCityWindow is off (and AutoOpenCityWindow actually opens the build queue window)

Feats are supposed to be surprises There aren't as many of them as we hoped, but I'm not going to go and tell everyone what they all are, getting them by accident the first time is half the fun.

Debug option, no effect in the shipped version.

Actually, they are CTP1 leftovers. There's no throne room.

As someone else answered, on the inventory tab of the city manager.

Glad you're mostly enjoying it

"AutoRenameCities only works if AutoOpenCityWindow is off (and AutoOpenCityWindow actually opens the build queue window)"

Well, this isn't true for me. In my userprofiles.txt file, AutoOpenCityWindow is set to yes and yet AutoRenameCities still works.

BTW, I tried using the reply with quote option, but it isn't working properly for me. It just quotes the last of someone's post and it doesn't show it right either. Any ideas?
