Here's the results I got from running it locally anyway (and yeah, ran fine regardless):

...why are the resources in a different order?

Also, my orders remain identical.

Okay, so maybe I introduced and then fixed a bug without noticing, and the cached version on some people's machines hasn't updated. That's the only thing I can think of, anyway. (Although it doesn't make much sense, since I haven't touched anything related to food production in months...) Could you try clearing your cache, re-downloading, and trying again?

Same order. This is running in IE (for some reason it can't find Firefox), if that matters.

[Vanigo]

Okay, that all looks like the right amount of food. So, announcement, everyone: clear your cache before running any turns.

Irony, the order of the resources in the xml is totally irrelevant. The way I built it, the order they show up in is somewhat indeterminate, and I don't care in the slightest.

[Doomblade187]

Revised turn! More food is always needed...

[Sheb]

Vanigo, could you explain in more detail how food and pop generation works?

Last turn, I had no food left and was generating 16 excess food. I had 15 population. I used 7 food to generate one more free pop (9 food left). Let's say that free pop ate 1 food, that mean I should have 9 food left, enough for a second population to spawn. Instead, I've got no more pop and only 4 food left at the start of this turn. What's wrong with my understanding of the rules?

Edit: Got it, actually I was generating 25 food, eating 16, and my claim would lead to two more food. There seems to be a bug in the "expected change this turn" window.

Edit the Second: Does the map wrap around?

my turn is unchanged. But for simplicity's sake is here:

Okay, that leaves Johnfalcon.

Sheb, the map does not wrap around.

How does claiming over water work? It doesn't seem to want to let me claim anything that's only adjacent to a claimed water tile.

[Vanigo]

How does claiming over water work? It doesn't seem to want to let me claim anything that's only adjacent to a claimed water tile.

This is as intended. To claim a tile, it must be either adjacent (including diagonals) to a land tile you already claim, or it must be a land tile adjacent to a sea unit you control. (A flying unit over water probably works, too, come to think of it.)

[IronyOwl]

I see. Can you claim not-adjacent land with land units as well?

[Vanigo]

You cannot. Rationale is that unless you have a good road, carrying stuff over land is much harder than over water. Spreading out slowly is one thing, but long-distance migration across howling wilderness is another entirely. (And you can't build roads on tiles that you haven't claimed.)
