Some questions

[Grundel]

First of all, with this being my first post i just wanted to say hi to everyone.

With that being said, I had a couple of questions about gameplay with CIV3. These questions i could not find answers to in the manual.

1. How the heck do you set up build queues?

2. If you build a colony, do you absolutely need a road going to it? For example, if I have several ports, and i build a colony on a another landmass next to the ocean, would i get the resource by sea route?

3. Do colonies only work on strategic resources? COuld I build a 'spice' colony, for example?

That is all I can think of for now. Ihave just started my first game and must admit that i am enthralled with it.

Thanks to anyone who responds

Build queues are set by SHIFT-clicking the items you want to queue up.

Yes, you have to have a road from the colony to one of your cities; overseas colonies need to be connected to a harbor.

Colonies work on strategic (oil, iron, etc) and luxury (spice, silk, etc) resources, but not bonus (gold, wheat, etc) resources.
