Great change, you now need to select alliances more carefully if you plan on exploiting espionage.

I think Potato is struggling because was stuck in a routine of playing the same old style; settling on luxuries and spamming Mangnus chop overflow exploits for the win. He hasn't got a clue how to adapt and play to the strengths of different Civs.

Fantastic news :culture:

Please, for the love of god sort out trade routes. The most boring part of the game. 1. There are way too many. One per trade depot is fine. 2. They are ridiculously overpowered, reduce by 75% 3. Interface sucks. Why not manage them from a single screen? 4. Refresh after X turns is...

I love this idea.
