I made this bug report in another thread, but the 'specialists consume 1 food after leaving caste' bug is back again. Or am I missing a civic or trait ability that does that? Recalculating does not fix the problem.

This bug seems to have resurfaced, and recalculating isn't fixing it. This time it is slightly different: some (but not all) specialists are now showing a yield of -1 food in the bottom-right screen, so the maths of the food bar in the top-left is correct. If it matters, I switched from caste...

For this to work, you would also need X% of the current stability to decay each turn. That would make it reasonably easy to balance. Then you can map the current effects of health to stability, using the formula: Stability Changing Point = 100 * Health / X So if X is 5%, then the current...

Yip. Kept alien nests around, and killed the spawning bugs for science, while playing a harmony game. Built the Mind Flower, which boosted the aliens automatically to orange, and two kills later ... red! Of course, I had been aggressively attacking them all game, and never got them to even...

Researching astronomy will allow you to travel on ocean tiles that are not within your cultural borders. So either try to find a way onto his continent by only traveling on the coast (light blue), or research astronomy, and sail the high seas to victory!

One thing that no-one seems to have mentioned so far is this: Each citizen consumes 2 food (apples) So if your city has 5 population, and is working 4 farmed plains, and one desert with a trading post, your city will be making: 2 food and 1 production from each of the plains = 10 food...

Are you trading? Also, what does the tooltip say when you hover over your current money (it should say your current income and expenses, there you can work out where your money is coming from, and where it is going to)

If culture and faith benefits 'wide' nations and the reason why tech benefits 'backwards' nations by rewarding more scientific discoveries (which, incidentally, would already have been found before, so they wouldn't be that great), wouldn't it be better to swap culture and science? In other...

It is civilization. You get +1 if they are the same era, and another +1 if *either* both are from a foreign civilization, or if both are from *your* civilization.

That... would make a lot of sense. So that is what determines how many 'ideology symbols' there were appearing. Please ignore my previous comment, if that is the case. You *can* use tourism to reduce pressure on *your* civ.

If you hover over the Public Opinion text (EG. the yellow 'Civil Resistance'), you will see how much pressure the other ideologies are pushing on you. Everyone with an ideology puts pressure on everyone else with a *different* ideology. The amount of pressure is proportional to the ratio of...

I think there is a problem, but I also think people are over-reacting a bit. There seem to be a sizable camp complaining that the early game has changed, and the old G&K builds no longer work, and a sizable camp saying that everyone who thinks there is a problem belongs to this camp, so I hope...

@Phil: Really? You think that is odd? The three last policy branches show the three big philosophies of how to run a country in the 20th century. Freedom = Democracy, Order = Communism, and Autocracy = Facism. I am pretty sure that is even explicitly mentioned in some of the civic policies...

Weren't wars in that era slow bloodbaths though (I am talking about pre-tank wars, based around the early-industrial / late Renaissance) Ideally, cannon come between muskets and rifles, artillery at GW infantry, and bombers come into power with tanks (for additional movement and blitz...

Does anyone find the jump from cannons to artillery is a little nuts? I am able to one-shot cities (albiet, late-medieval cities with no defenses), but cannons have always taken 3-4 shots to damage a city that much. Furthermore, +1 range AND indirect fire means that they are infinitely more...

Screenshots or, even better: savegames, would be much appreciated.

Also confirmed from me. I met the Vatican, and they are NOT allied to anyone, and I can give a 1000 gold donation to gain 75 influence, which puts me at 'allied' status. The tooltip says I have 75/60 influence, so the Vatican is just a regular city state.

My problem with SoDs is very similar to AFS: It isn't the huge stacks that are a problem, it is the problem with attacker initiative in Civ IV (and Defender Inititive in Civ III, where the defender would get so many bonuses, the only way to dislodge someone was to bombard. From memory, I haven't...

I will, but I think that the bug-fix I made doesn't do *everything* Firstly, I need to fix the (slightly) annoying Civilopedia entries, and then I have to confirm that the AI doesn't incorrectly weight thier civics and go nuts (or never touch) civics like corporatist, which now appear to have...

Corporations have maintainance costs, part of the drawbacks of having corporations in your city. It is in Vanilla BtS too. I am not quite sure what it symbolizes, but it is a little balance part of the game. I think it is the nation providing basic services and law changes for the corporations...
