Does anyone know what the icon means that looks like a black rook chess

I know all the other symbols but have no idea what this one means. Im

the icon that is next to the religion icon and the happy\health icons.
Anyone know?

No, but it wasn't very hard to find, Advanced Rules -> Cities. So pointing Jetter to the manual (or advising him to buy the game if he hadn't) seemed like a fair thing to do, and not "a little unkind". Btw, how can it be unkind to say such things, because you couldn't find it when you looked? -- //anders >> Stay informed about: Civ 4 City icon

No; just saying I thought Jetter was unfairly criticised for not finding something that was not IMO particularly obvious in a badly laid out manual. -- David Littlewood >> Stay informed about: Civ 4 City icon
