Hey folks, is there a link to a FAQ which explains the options when you start a Custom Game? Most are actually fairly self-explanatory, but I haven't seen these elsewhere:
(1) No city limits from civics (tooltip: "No explicit limits or penalties from civic choices for founding any number of cities")
There are penalties for founding too many cities, other than happiness/health/gold? Are we actually prevented from founding more cities by certain civics? If so, I suppose the player will either have to change civics or conquer existing cities if he wants more cities?
(2) No fixed borders (tooltip: "No fixed border mechanics, whether from civics or any other sources")
Is this referring to cultural borders? If this option is unchecked, does this mean that some civics/other things can stop a city's cultural borders from expanding?
(3) Infinite XP (tooltip: "No loss of experience when upgrading troops")
I've never had units last more than a handful of "level ups" so I don't know whether a level limit exists (probably?). On the surface it seems this option means unlimited level ups, but on the other hand the tooltip is talking about xp loss when upgrading, so now I'm confused.
I'm sure all the new stuff will eat me alive, which is why my first games will be back on Settler difficulty in an island map until I know wtf I'm doing...
