How useful would a "happiness forecast" for each building in the build menu be for folks? Or is it computationally a non-starter? Here's a crappy mockup I made:

The options are :c5food:/:c5production: [current version uses this format, but it looks like divison] :c5food:+:c5production: :c5food::c5production: :c5food:&:c5production: Total :c5food:+:c5production: Sum of :c5food: and :c5production: Poll interface doesn't allow icons, unfortunately. Happy...

This thread is for discussion of how to meaningfully differentiate late-game production plants. What's the problem? Plants come very late in the game, so they must be very powerful to be worth the time and hammers to build them. But if they only help Production and can be stacked in a single...

Was this tried then taken out? I liked the idea (-n :c5influence:Influence per turn if you have 100n+ :c5influence: Influence, minimum 1) but it doesn't appear to be in force right now.

Since July, some Great People's abilities have have scaled. I wanted to put the details up on the wiki, but unfortunately the formulas have proven very hard to find. Does anyone have (access to) the formulas? I'll keep this OP updated: Great Writers' Political Treatise (instant :c5culture:)...

Continuing this discussion between Moi Magnus and tu_79 from the patch thread, I think upgrading a military unit should be at least 25% or so :c5gold: cheaper than just building a brand-new unit (before any upgrade discounts). I love the "pick and choose which units you want to upgrade" feel of...

I noticed that burning a Great General to make a Citadel also boosts your Supply Cap by 2. I think that's great (and the supply cap works much better now, being highly visible and being a scaling soft cap), but it definitely feels like a Great Admiral is simply weaker than a Great General. All...

I was thinking: obviously we should make sure different civs/leaders are balanced in the human player's hands, but wouldn't it be ideal to balance out which AI civs are performing the best from game to game? To that end, here's a Google Drive poll: https://goo.gl/forms/lCCewlyz75mKoFIz2 and...

I've seen it fluctuate, but I'm not sure why it would.

There seems to be widespread agreement that the :tourism:Culture victory is easier than – and perhaps becomes possible too much earlier than – the other victory types, especially :c5science:Science and :c5influence:Diplomatic. I think reducing the beaker cost of late-game Techs and...

Please take the two quick straw polls here: http://www.strawpoll.me/10367883 http://www.strawpoll.me/10367758 Seems to me :c5strength:Crime and occasionally :c5gold:Poverty are always my biggest sources of :c5unhappy:Unhappiness. Surely at least part of this is my particular playstyle, but...

Is there a quick and easy (or dirty) way to have every player (human and computer) start the game with, say, 150:c5gold:? Using Vox Populi, if that makes a difference.

I think this belief needs to be limited somehow; the amount of free instant Science is too powerful when missionaries are fixed-price and pretty cheap. I'm not sure how the instant Science yield scales, but it seems to scale with number of followers of other religions. I eventually was sending...

Hi all, I'm on turn 248 in a game as Persia (latest beta, 05/21, with EUI and everything else, plus InfoAddict) and am looking for some advice on how to proceed. The save is attached to this post, and here's some info in screenshot form: http://imgur.com/a/cAanG Here's the situation: I...

+2 :c5culture:/:c5production:/:c5gold:/:c5science: per Specialist seems very very strong to me. In comparison, other Follower Beliefs like +1 :c5culture:/:c5production:/:c5gold:/:c5science: per 2 followers seem inherently weaker, at least by midgame. What do you all think?

Just had a game where two Militaristic City-States offered me city capture requests for the same city, both of which offered :c5influence:Influence and free instant :c5war:XP. Screenshot: 35 XP from Barracks and Armory +69 (= 45 +24) instant XP for all units = 104 XP for all new...

The number of votes needed to get a Diplo Victory seems very high with CSD. A few questions: Generally, are there any particular good strategies to earn the votes needed? Does the number of votes per civ and per per city-state ally follow the standard BNW numbers? I assume all the ways to...

Just had Theodora offer me 131:c5gold: per turn in exchange for declaring war on Sweden; both Byzantine and Sweden were halfway across the world from me. (Her income was about 200:c5gold: per turn, for reference.) I agreed, did not engage Sweden at all, and used the sweet, sweet :c5gold: to...

What is the unit maintenance :c5gold:cost formula? I've spent a while searching but haven't been able to find anything here. (The Civilopedia tells me to check each unit's page, but those days appear to be long past.) I think it'd be great to be able to tell how much (on the margin) each...

Everyone in the world has sanctioned me. (Fine, I warmongered a little.) Seems odd, though, that everyone would get even angrier at me for proposing a repeal of that sanction.
