The actual cause of this isn't OCC itself, but from having just one city. The cost of pure Happiness and health resources are directly proportional to the number of cities owned by the smaller civ. Math for working out GPT cost of pure happy/health resources is easy until corps, its just...

Indeed. Don't know how I ended up pasting that in there :crazyeye:

I would replace 'what if' for 'what can', and 'saves turns' for 'allows you to maximise civics and religions' Unlike other traits Spiritual won't give you anything of worth unless you are actively looking for ways to use it, and going for it when the opportunity arises. Some of its tricks rely...

A small share of components? Working its way into the US market has been one of Airbus highest strategic priorities for decades, even going as far as opening an assembly line for their chief breadwinner (A320) for the all important 'Made in America' tag, and making use of others misfortunes...

At that point you don't really have any option other than Police State. With earlier planning you could have benefited from using nukes rather than normal combat, as they give a flat amount of WW while destroying a potentially unlimited number of units.

Even the lead dev giving some important insight in the teams design philosophy?

Urgh, I just watched the start of this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J88bmqKrbu0 When the guy talks about workers (1:50ish) I quickly lost the remnants of the slim hope I had for the game... :wallbash::wallbash::wallbash::wallbash::wallbash: Stopped watching it soon after.

Gold is nice, but if your giving it +5 and wet corn only 4 then you are seriously undervaluing food. The screenshot you added also brings up a conundrum in that the value of tiles not being fixable, i.e. gold, is heavily dependant on the presence of good food tiles to effectively support them...

I prefer to call it Apocolyptic because it can end the world much more quickly and with far less effort than nukes, and because it poses a far, far greater threat to players that take their eyes off the ball for a while :p

Fin gets nowhere near 50% boost in commerce, let alone a 50% boost to your economy (better described as including non commerce science/gold/culture, GPP, hammers and excess food), and if you have cottaged the bejeesus out of absolutely everything to maximise the trait then you will have limited...

I think Jon Shafer at least did care about civ, but brought with him an axe to grind against stack warfare and ICS based on deeply a flawed understanding of both 'problems'. To make matters worse, and its clear that the devs did not even understand their own mechanics, having absolutely no clue...

Bit late I know, but if your still interested I did look into this some quite a long time ago when I was trying to figure out all the trade values. The AI decides the religion to run based on its perceived value, which can quite easily be much higher for a minority religion in an AIs territory...

AT's start with a low interception rate, but can get the intercept promotions allowing them to have a 50% intercept rate quite easily. Still not going to be hugely important, but it is something to think about if you find airships being a significant annoyance. Stealth destroyers can only be...

Seems as no-one has picked this out yet. Universal Suffrage only affects fully matured towns, and not the earlier levels of cottage improvements. Until you have matured towns universal suffrage provides nothing other than an extremely wasteful form of rushing production. Building the pyramids...

The tories will at the very least now have to answer against the call for re-nationalisation of rail, post and utilities, which are things that have historically had strong public support. With the perception of private companies doing little more than price gouging while reducing quality of...
