To be fair, I don't think that when they released the double civ pack they intended to hand Spain out free later, and I don't see anything wrong with adding Spain to the expansion pack, that just lets more people have Spain. What do you want them to do, remove Spain from the DLC?

But really doesn't any building technically fall under the handle of architecture? Clearly the ingame tech isn't trying to say "This is where all architecture began!" In the Rennaisance (or the time period the ingame era represents), architecture was seperated from the engineering aspects of...

Nokmirt you clearly don't understand my point. I am not arguing that religions be given specific follower /founder beliefs. I am arguing that civs be given a higher likelyhood of ending up with a religion that suits them thematically. Yes some civs like the Native American civs do not have any...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technology Here is an extract: Special emphasis on crafts, systems and methods of organization. Guilds are definitly a method of organisation, and pottery is definitly a craft. If you want to be a little abstract poetry and literature could be seen as a method of...

To the people saying a feature like this is pointless / unnecesarry should take time looking at the thread. There are plenty of people here, like me, who would appreciate such a feature and would find that such a feature would greatly enhance the flavour of the game. The arguments based on the...

The question is this, do you think the game more realistic if: A: You are at no risk of naval invasion and sea power barely matters, and destroyers cant attack cities. B: You are at risk of naval invasion, sea power matters and destroyers can attack cities. Of course I would pick B. If I have...

That doesn't make it any less likely they would implement it, its not like the Western civs will be competing for Christianity, its just whoever gets a religion first will have a higher probability to choose Christianity, if they do then the other civs will simply use the next religion down on...

I was under the impression that inquisitors require a religion to use, and therefore wont stamp out that religion?

I guess you could try to collect as little faith as possible, but you'll probably end up founding a pantheon anyway and there would be no way to stop foreign religions spreading in your city. In the late game religion will have less effect, and I assume that if you haven't invested in faith you...

I'm don't think you can seperate wars into two categories. Most religious/ideological wars are also opportunistic, and most opportunistic wars have some level of religious or ideological motivation or justification. This seems to be how it will work in game. Religious and ideological...

Actually I think most armies historically have been civilian armies. Only really in early modern times did true proffesional armies come into existence. I'm under the impression that Medieval lords just levied their peasants, and I know that the Greek city-states used their male citizens, who...

Seeing as winning as them Almovads is an achievement we can see that they haven't been afraid to make civs just for this scenario and make them playable. Hopefully that means we can see some Eastern European states. People seem to be assuming the start date is around 1200 because of the...

I guess vassal states are kind of represented by puppet states. Although it is cute having a little pet empire I think this is probably a better system.

If you don't found a religion you can mostly ignore faith, whilst some other civ is generating faith to provide you with follower beliefs. Do you know if we will be able to see which beliefs each religion has chosen from the religion menu? It would be handy to allow the player to try choose...

Most colonial nations, or at least the American ones that are the most mentioned, have existed as independent political entities for around 200 years. This translates to roughly two in game eras, or a third of the game. This is longer than some of the classical civs. And saying that modern...

Remember that you wont be the only player in the game founding a religion. If you convert people to your religion it means they (probably) wont convert to other peoples religions. If they are going to be getting follower beliefs anyway its better that they fuel your founder beliefs and give you...

People seem to be forgetting that flavour is an incredibly important factor in civ. You could argue that the Aztecs, Iroquois, Siam or Songhai aren't important enough to be in the game, but having a Mesoamerican civ, a North American native civ, a Subsaharan African civ and a South East Asian...

I think America was pretty powerful at that time, the age of this chart is probably better seen in its focus on European history.

If you want a less Eurocentric selection of civs then you need to give the entire population of the West an understanding of world history. The civs which are selected are the ones which will sell, which are the ones people recognise and because our understanding of history is Eurocentric, the...

Where did you find that data on books?
