Perhaps this should be in another thread, but do Great Merchants have more value now that tiles don't produce gold? Wouldn't it make sense to plant them around your capital or trading city?

Aristos, do you see anything in the code that would make these behaviors happen more with higher difficulties? Are they less pronounced at lower diffictulties? I mean, it's hard to tell what the values are in the arrays. Granted, they have indexes where the values are stored, but we don't know...

I'll go with Augustus. I'd like to be able to converse in Latin. :)

Agreed on all counts. Boudicca, while I have a penchant for redheads, is too flat.

Carthage has been in every one of my games lately. And Sweden has been in most of them.

I mostly agree with Uncle Joe. When you're cruising to a Science, Culture, or Diplomatic victory, the AI should recognize it and take one or more of the following measures: Stop Research Agreements Make it harder to trade with them Try to convince other Civs to ally against the human player...

I love this! You had to make a decision on how to keep from having that ban passed and instead of bribing everyone, you took a small hit to your finances for a long term gain. I would have never thought a decision like this in Civ V would even be possible when it first came out. I'm glad it is...

When an AI opens up a policy tree it gets access to the wonder, but it doesn't show up as opening a policy on the Diplomacy Overview.

To unban it you must repeal the original ban. If you click on it in the list at the top, you'll be able to propose to repeal the ban.

Cool. I'd like to see it. Now I'm questioning what I thought I saw in my game. Hmm... Either way I'm not sure how I feel on the issue. Part of me thinks it's ridiculous for an AI to vote both ways and I think it should be locked into a certain way. But I can also see it as being something akin...

I've also disabled it. My games last longer now, but only one has gone past 2050. And once I got there I checked to see who would have won the Time Victory. (It was me.) But a TV is the least interesting and arbitrary in general so I don't mind disabling it.

How was he able to vote Yea and Nay on the same proposal? From what I could tell that wasn't possible. It certainly wasn't possible for me to do that so I'd be surprised if they could. (Or maybe I haven't figured out how....) In fact, I usually bribe the one with the most votes so I can get...

I also find Iron and Coal to be scarce.

I've had Austria afraid of me late game when we were neighbors. I don't understand why. We were of equal power and both had just taken bites out of Byzantium as allies. I then parked my units on the border and settled down for a SV. I didn't build nukes.

Right, the one for Aesthetics. He's referring the the UA of France.
