Welcome to my 18th FAQ. I've some Civ 4 the base game, but haven't done
Warlords, which I will, sooner or later. Anyway, Beyond the Sword is the
second Expansion Pack for Civ 4, which I might add, is massive. It hads many
things to Civ 4, which in itself, is wonderful. Read the reviews if you
want to know what happens. As for the game itself, it seems that this seems to
cover everything from the Warlords expansion and as such, it makes that
worthless and this worthwhile.

[2.01] Random Events
Random Events are arguable the most expansive addition in Beyond the Sword,
and besides the Corporations, one of the reason why I bought it. They can
occur at any time, at any point in your game. They can be good, some can be
bad and some can be a bit strange. There is over 1 Mb and a half of text
that I had to sift through to bring these events to you, so be at least
grateful. For the events to happen, you must have the "No Random Events" not
enabled to allow for the events to occur.
Not all events will occur in one game. Some will appear, some won't. Below,
I will list everything, the options and what happens. There are several types
of events that I have seperated. Quests are missions you have to do.
Civilization Events effect your entire empire, City events effect one
specific city, Tile events effect a production tile, Unit events effect your
units and Foreign Events are events that have an effect overseas.
Here is how it goes. The symbols you have to be aware for.
[Civ Adjective] = Adjective for your nation. For example, America
will be American, China will be Chinese, etc.
[Civ City] = A city under your control.
[Civ City Building] = A building inside one of your cities.
[Civ Corporation] = A corporation under your control.
[Civ Unit] = A Unit under your command.
[Civ Religion] = A religion worshipped in your Empire
[Civ Religion Adjective] = The Adjective for a religion. For example, Islam
will be Islamic, Buddhism will be Buddhist.
[Civ Wonder] = A Wonder
[Other Civ] = Another Civilisation
[Other Civ Adjective] = The Adjective of another Civilisation's empire.

landmasses of any size, from one-plot islands to massive continents. All
landmasses where you have at least one city are counted. Note that additional
cities on the same island or continent do not help in this quest. The goal

thereby prove your mastery over the waters. You will fail this quest if you
change state religions, cease to have a state religion or reach Industrialism
without having met the conditions."

your religious leaders will solve the puzzle and identify the correct

Corporations are basically a different source of religion. These are massive
companies that are headquartered in a city and has many branches in the other
cities all over the world. They provide a large source of commerce and gold
but drains in maintenance.
Corporations are founded by researching the Corporation technology as well as
another technology. With adquate access to certain resources, a Great Person
can establish a Corporation in that city. The secondary technology and the
Great Person will vary from company to company however.
Once it is founded, the corporation will require maintenance from your
Government to keep it functional, to pay the wages as it were. In return
however, they provide a bonus such as gold, culture, research, food or even
different resources. The owner of the Corporation will receive money for each
branch of that company operating.
Similar to religion, Corporations are spread with Executives in place of the
Missionaries. It will cost money to expand into other cities as well as
maintenance to keep the branch running, however, you will receive money for
that branch as well as providing bonuses to that city as well. Bear in mind
however, that some companies will compete with others and two competing
companies cannot be in the same city.
If you do not wish to have Corporations in your land, enabling the State
Property will render all Corporations in your land useless. The Mercantilism
Civic will block any new corporations from entering your civilisation. There
are 7 companies, each with different abilities.
All Headquarters in their cities will generate +2 Culture and +1 Great Person
Point every turn.
"Despite being the most abundant metal on Earth, aluminum in its purest form
was exceedingly rare until the nineteenth century, with a price-per-pound
comparable to that of pure silver. The development of the Hall-Heroult
process in 1886, by which pure aluminum is drawn out of common bauxite ore,
made aluminum cheap and readily available. Harnessing his invention, Charles
Martin Hall created the Pittsburgh Reduction Company, which would grow into
the largest provider of aluminum in the world, with its product included in
everything from soda cans to spaceships."

"While most food processing corporations are less than 150 years old, food
processing is an ancient tradition. The miller was the original food
processing entrepreneur, turning inedible wheat into versatile flour, all
while pulling in a tidy profit. Understandably, many modern food processing
companies rose from the milling industry, often picking up a few new
subsidiaries along the way. Today's food processors deal in a diverse range
of consumer products, lining the walls of the local supermarket with
everything from mayonnaise to deodorant."

"Humanity's fascination with shiny objects has persisted since time
immemorial. Gold, silver and jewels have decorated the heads of monarchs and
the interior of palaces for millennia, but it was the nineteenth century that
began the true blossoming of the trade of treasures. Gold rushes throughout
the world - in the United States, Canada and Australia - not only created
new fonts of wealth, but left a lasting impression on the shape of world
population, relocating avaricious prospectors to some of the most remote
places on earth. The Gem Trade, with diamonds as its crown, grew up around
similar circumstances. Throngs of miners flocked to South Africa in the
mid-nineteenth century with the discovery of the "Star of Africa", an
enormous 83.5 carat diamond. As of the turn of the twentieth century, the
age of the traveling prospector bowed before the growth of enormous precious
metal and jewel firms. South Africa remains one of the most important sources
for gold and diamonds in the world, as well as the birth place to some of the
most influential corporations in the business."

"The Great Pyramids, the Hagia Sophia and the Hoover Dam all started their
famed existance in the same way - with a pile of stones and an ambitious
engineer. In the past, grand projects were taken on by princes or heads of
state, but today these works are built by corporations. Often employing both
an architech and a construction team, modern construction companies both
dream up and execute the shaping of a piece of land into a new edifice.
Beyond simply erecting the building, it often falls upon the construction
company to reign in the wild designs of upstart architects like Frank Lloyd
Wright and Antoni Gaudi to ensure the completion of their works. Perhaps if a
construction executive had been present during the designing of Gaudi's
Sagrada Familia, it would already be complete and accepting donations for
renovations."

"For much of human history, victory has gone to those with access to the
finest metals. From the Bronze Age onwards, metal tools, weapons and alloys
have been an inherent part of the rise of civilization, spurring conquests
and construction by the world's greatest empires. And while metal mining has
had an impressive history, it was not until the nineteenth century that
industrial mining truly began to take root. The reasons explain this sudden
intensification in mining operations. The first was the almost daily
revolutions in the production of tools and consumer items, requiring a
continual source of metal to produce them. The second was that the fuel that
powered the Industrial Revolution was coal, nestled deep within the earth.
In modern times, enormous excavators like the Bagger 288 have it possible to
mine a pit three-hundred feet long and one-hundred feet deep in a day, a
feat that, in the past, would have required the mobilization of nations."

"Sushi is an ancient form of food preservation that originated in Southeast
Asia in the fourth century BC. This technique of wrapping fish in vinegar-
soaked rice spread through out Asia, making its way to China in the
thirteenth century and later to Japan. In Japan, the dish became extremely
popular in the early nineteenth century, when a sushi stall owner in Edo
began placing bits of extremely fresh and even raw fish within or atop the
classic bed of vinegar rice. It was here that modern sushi was born. Sushi
has since become Japan's signature dish, and from the 1980s onward has
become a popular delicacy throughout the world."

"As an energy source, few things can compare to fossil fuels. Yet, like most
resources, the limited nature of fossil fuels has made an alternative energy
source a necessary compliment to the world's power supply. Ethanol, which can
be created from corn, beets and sweet potatoes, has become one of the leading
candidates to wean customers from their daily gasoline fix. Used as a fuel
additive or a fuel itself, ethanol's renewable nature, as well as the
increased availability of ethanol-powered vehicles, has made it the most
widely used gasoline alternative in the world. But with an ever-increasing
world population the use of fields to produce fuel instead of food has made
the full-blown adoption of biofuels a difficult choice for those in positions
of power."

Executives act as the Corporation's Missionary. It allows you to spread one
of your companies into other cities, whether they belong to you or to rival
civilisations. Once they are on the city you want to spread it on, you can
establish a branch there. This will ask you if you wish to compete and
override the competition of another competing company.
As a National Unit, you are only allowed 3 Executives for each Corporation
that you own at a time. You must understand that you can only produce them
when you have not exceeded the limit. They take 100 Production Hammers to
produce and have 2 Movement per turn. They cannot fight when attacked.
A Forest Preserve is the only bonus Tile Improvement that is offer to you as

This is the newest addition to Beyond the Sword and makes the Spy unit very,
very useful. The Espionage system allows you to sabotage your rivals by
destroying their tile improvements, poisoning the water of their cities and
other dirty deeds. Of course, your enemy can do this to you as well so be
weary of this. Of course, no Spy Agency will be complete without
counter-espionage to stop the attempts of enemy spies.
However, to do this, one must generate Espionage Points so that your spies can
complete their missions. This is done from diverting commerce from Research,
Culture and Gold towards the new option of Espionage. When you have enough
Episonage Points, you can move your Spy on the target and perform the action
that will be necessary to cary out your orders.
These points are necessary to carry out missions. Several buildings allow you
to generate points but the bulk of the points will generally come out of the
Commerce total. Once you have discovered the Writing Tech, you will have the
slider to adjust how much you spend on Espionage Points.
On the Espionage Screen, you can see the statistics for all encountered
civilisations and how many points you have invested in each. You can change
the weight of each rival. The weighting basically means the amount of points
that you are using to investigate the enemy. The higher the weighting, the
more points you are devoting to that enemy at the cost of investing points
into other rivals. This is important as this will influence the cost.
Originally, the cost of performing a mission will be at 100%. It it is higher
than 100%, that means that the rival has invested more points in your and
therefore, is more prepared against you and you will have to pay more in terms
of Espionage Points to carry out the same mission. This also works in reverse
when the cost is less than 100%. This means you have invested more points
than your rival has invested in you and therefore you can perform all missions
at a lower cost.
By clicking on a rival, you can see all the cities that you have discovered.
This, when clicked upon, allows you to see the available missions that your
spies can perform upon it and the cost that is required. The more points
needed, generally speaking, the riskier and more damaging it is.
There are many missions that your Spies can undertake. Some are passive while
the rest are active. Active requires you to move a spy over a specific tile
in order to perform the mission while passive missions are done when you have
accumulated enough Espionage Points against them. The Active Missions are:
Sabotage Improvement - This destroys an enemy tile improvement such as a
farm or a route improvement such as a road.
Sabotage Building - This will destroy a building that has built inside
an enemy city.
Steal Treasury - This will let your spy steal gold ranging from
10 to 100% of the treasury.
Spread Culture - This will increase the amount of culture in the
city.
Poison Water - For a short period of time, the city is more
unhealthy due to poisoned water.
Foment Unhappiness - For a short period of time, the city is more
unhappy.
Support City Revolt - Sends a city into revolt mode for a turn, reducing
city defences in the time-being.
Steal Technology - This steals a technology that you do not have from
your opponent.
Influence Civics - This will change the opponent's civics to the ones
that you have adopted.
Influence Religion - This changes the opponent's state religion to the
same one as yours.
Perform Counterespionage - The Enemy Espionage Mission Costs are doubled for
10 turns.
The Passive Missions are:
Can See Demographics - Allows you to see the enemy's information on the
Info Screen.
Can See Research - Allows you to see what the enemy is researching
currently and the turns needed for completion.
City Visibility - The enemy cities are now visible on your map.
Investigate City - You can see the info screen for the cities by
double clicking on them as if they were yours,
Spies Cannot Enter Our
Borders - Spies from civilisations that you have amassed
enough points against cannot enter your nation.
Spies are units that can be built by Civilisations provided you have
researched the Writing Technology. Spies are useful for scouting as they can
enter enemy territory without having to declare war as well as starting with
the Commando upgrade, allowing you to use the enemy's roads and railroads.
The spy can perform missions while it is on a specific tile and the longer it
is on the tile, the cheaper the missions will be overall. They cannot be
killed by conventional means, rather, they are seeked out by enemy spies and
can be killed by them. Once spotted, they cannot perform any more missions.
Spies can also be specialists, however, they are produced like a specialist in
a city. This provides you with more Espionage Points as well as increasing the
chances of a Great Spy appearing in that city.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[10.05] Great Spies
Great Spies are among the Great People such as the Scientists and so forth.
They are invaluable scouting units as they are invisible to all units, even
enemy spies and other Great Spies. If you manage to sneak a spy into the
enemy and onto their cities, you will receive an Espionage Point bonus of
about 3000 Points.
They can also join cities as Super Specialists and can also construct the
Scotland Yard national wonder, even if you have not meant the requirements
for normal construction. It will provide a boost to Espionage Point
production.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[11.01] Air Unit Promotions
Air Units now can be assigned to Intercept and will attack enemy aircraft on
sight. With air combat, the fight continues until one unit is destroyed or
withdraws from the fight. They can also defend against several attacks every
round, similar to ground units.
There are also changes to air unit promotions. They are now able to gain the
Combat, Pinch and the Ambush Promotions, similar to the Land Units. They also
have 3 new promotions.
Interception - Increases the chance of intercepting the enemy aircraft. SAM
infantry, Mobile SAM and Mechanised Infantry can also receive
this promotion.
Range - Increases the Air Unit's range.
Ace - Increaes the Unit's evasion chance when engaged.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[11.02] Overseas Maintenance and Colonies
Overseas Maintenance is a new form of maintenance where the city is on a
different continent from the Capital. When the amount of cities on that
specific continent reach a certain number, maintenance will begin to outweigh
the commerce gained from Production.
The only method to prevent this is to allow it to be a colony. When there are
two or more cities on the overseas continent, they can be colonies which
allows the cities to break off into their own Civilisations while being a
vassal state to you. This however, provides distinct economic, diplomatic
and military problems for you.
Siege units can now only damage units up to a certain limit. Therefore, the
units can attack to the limit, no more, but less depending on the health of
the unit. Defending Siege units however, can still destroy the forces of the
attackers.
Also, several units such as the Gunship have the Flank Attack against Siege
units. This is when a stack of Siege Units are together and provided the unit
survives, every Siege unit is damaged to some extent.
Naval units can now be sent to blockage enemy ports, denying them of valuable
commerce and gold for their Civilisation. Naval units can even plunder the
trade units of the enemy, making control of the seas invaluable.
Also, for naval trade routes along rivers, the Sailing Technology must be
researched beforehand.
