Well, when college students are taught, as I was today in class, "Every software project is late," I'm not sure you can blame the companies for the current state. For those grognards (like me) who pine for 'the good old days when software wasn't released buggy', might I point out... Master of...

I got the 12 Olympians Achievement with Gorgo at 12 slots per normal, as I recall.

NukeAJS: I believe it changes to a '-25% War Weariness' policy. Which does have something to do with Amenities even if it doesn't use the word.

Parks are interesting in that they are powerful if you can build them. Like so many other Cultural things, Russia seems the best to make them, for several reasons: 1) Insane Faith Generation with the Lavra. 2) Cultural Focus through the Lavra. 3) Lots of terrain to convert 4) Tundra...

At least in CiV, if you had a unit with the March promotion and a unit with the Medic promotion next to it, the March unit would indeed get the increased healing from the Medic unit every turn. If CiVI is similar, this would imply that Mamluk/Medic combinations will be a bit... interesting.

You should be able to find this. I believe the Civics will discuss when one Policy card replaces another or makes one obsolete. In the case of the Amenity one you reference, I believe it is replaced by one of the 'minus War Weariness' cards.

Oh, very likely. But I doubt it's a mistake so much as a tooltip error.

That's not been my experience. My experience is that Japan simply either chokes at being able to put down districts (i.e., doesn't make the most use of its UAs) or getting the production to put anything through them. Getting a 7 pop city isn't too much, granted. That's three (3) districts...

I think you're missing stuff, Rox. Japan simply cannot make full use of its UAs unless it can make Farms and more or less nothing else. Particularly if you're looking at the timeframe before the IZ starts dominating everything. Given that a Japan that tries to make the most of its bonuses...

Yeah, Japan's big issue is that it wants to spam districts like mad for Meiji [sic] Restoration, but all of their districts are population-gated. Russia is indeed good for the Religious or Culture game, but then you have to play it. I'm normally a huge religion player, but in CiVI I'm getting...

Lord Olleus: My experience with the '2 attack ranged' promotion is actually that it is poorly worded, not that it's completely wrong. From my experience, the actual wording of the promotion should be 'You can shoot twice, but you cannot move afterwards.' It certainly feels like a...

Something to note is that Kongo tends to be quite advanced scientifically, presumably because the two first districts that come up are Holy Site and Campus and Kongo can't build Holy Sites. So they build Campuses by default. This points to a greedy algorithm of sorts for AI district placement...

I've themed a couple of Art Museums. There should be an achievement for Theming an Art Museum with Sculpture, though. Does anyone besides Donatello even give you Sculpture? Art Museums may be harder to theme, but they don't require production to do so. Unlike Archaeology Museums.

Russia likes Cathedrals because They get GAs before anyone else (even Greece, generally) Early GAs' GWs are generally Religious They need places to put stuff Honestly, I feel that Russia's Religion will look like the following, almost always: Pantheon: Dance of the Aurora Follower: +Food from...

'Religiously Inspired Culture Victory' screams Russia to me, actually. This is because in addition to the Relic spam, Russia gets GWAM from the Lavra and it has the benefits of a UD. Key here is that you also have to spam Theater Districts to put Writing GW in. Getting Cathedrals for...
