I was baffled in my most recent game to see that on turn 200 (standard speed), one of the AIs was in the information age and had mechanized infantry, while myself and the rest of the AIs were all still industrial. I took a closer look at the tech tree trying to figure out how this could happen...

On patch 1.0.0.26 (221715). If an artillery is blocked from firing on a city because its view is obstructed by jungle, and you use a builder to remove the jungle, it still can't fire on the city. The UI shows the city as a targetable tile, but attempting to fire on it does nothing. If the...

The level of ideological pressure you receive from another civ depends on which influence thresholds you have reached with each other. So if you're Exotic with them, and they're Exotic with you, there's no pressure. If they go up to Familiar, you start receiving 1 pressure. If you have 10%...

Spend a few turns watching the stasis chamber outside Paris in the attached save. It seems to want to move into the capital, but can't because there's a worker permanently sleeping there.

The pages for the special tile improvements (Acadamy, Citadel, Customs House, Landmark, Manufactory) don't mention the fact that you need a great person to create them. The pages on specialists don't mention the yields those specialists provide.

So I'm on a continent with Wu Zetian and Askia. Wu procedes to: - Capture all the city states near her. - Start a war with Askia, which is still ongoing as on 1590AD, and conquer most of Songhai. - Sign a pact of cooperation with me, and ask me to join her war with Askia. I accept and snag his...

With currency you get the option of converting 10% of a city's hammers into gold. The problem with this is that for the vast majority of cities, 10% of their hammers = 0 gold per turn. It could probably use a buff to 25% like for building research.
