    A little look at how a CS works

    What's the evidence showing that CS acquire techs based on the number of players that already researched them? Victoria's analysis showed that CSs actually produce science and decide what techs to research, which doesn't seem to be connected with what the players have.

    [Vanilla] City States Guide

    While testing, I discovered something interesting. If you find a CS before you settled your first city, the free envoy doesn't give the free yield in the Capital.

    A little look at how a CS works

    I made a bit of code-diving myself, and it seems it confirms the theory that City States start with 5 tiles, not 6. This line is avaiable in the Civilizations file, in the game data: Starting tiles for cities = 5. The same line for a "full civ" has a 6. Also, notice the line where it says the...

    Thanks, Victoria.

    A little look at how a CS works

    Thanks, Victoria. That's very useful info. To perhaps help in further investigations, I've seen a certain behaviour with City States regarding the number of envoys they have. It seems a CS expand its borders when a player invests 2 envoys on it. So, perhaps the technology boosts you discovered...

    [Vanilla] City States Guide

    Is there any info regarding how City States acquire techs? Or the timings for City States to build districts?

    Brazils GPP Carnival Bonus

    Sorry for the necro, but I didn't want to start another thread. I tried testing this feature from the Street Carnival and I just couldn't replicate it. Was this removed? Or perhaps there's some trick to it that I'm not seeing.

    All leader portraits

    Perhaps C5 is Baibars, of the Mamluks.

    Influence decay

    Are you sure Kabul was at -0,75 before you opened patronage? Different City-State personalities have different decay rates. Sorry if that's obvious, but it's the only thing I think you can be missing.

    [vanilla] The Mechanics of Combat (vanilla)

    Yeah, I think it says 1 hp due to old mechanics, what I'm interested to know is the 0 hp case (like when you bombarded the city with ranged attacks). Thanks a lot for the info!

    Disgustingly overpowered civ combos?

    Good thing about Khans is the mobility, in my opinion.

    [vanilla] The Mechanics of Combat (vanilla)

    I'm asking regarding G&K, though I don't think BNW changed anything in that regard. The thread says that attacking a 1 HP city with a Unit will always result in the Unit capturing the City, even if there was a massive difference in the Unit/City strenght. Is that still true or was this...

    Quick Questions and Answers

    I'm asking regarding G&K, though I don't think BNW changed anything in that regard. I've read in an old thread (likely one made near the release of the game) regarding Combat that attacking a 1 HP city with a Unit will always result in the Unit capturing the City, even if there was a massive...

    can't tell if very good or bad start - arabia

    Hammer pay-back is not a good way to analyse if Petra is worth or not here. You should compare the costs of getting the Wonder (rushing the tech and wonder, which means using early science and hammers) and its benefits (the improved tile yield) with the benefits you could get with the same costs...
