A few of my favorites, aside from OP's.
320. Ancient Shaolin Monks live in the mountains. Wielding unearthly psychokinetic powers
they reverse the flow of gravity and keep Mountain Streams and Rivers from flowing downhill.
Unlike loincloth clad Men with clubs of immortality, The Shaolin Monks occasionally die, thus
you will infrequently find Mountain Rivers.
321. Rumours of the Mountain Dwelling Monks scare the bejeezus out of everyone,
thus all units will refuse to go near the cursed stone.
322. The underground Sorcerers (previous post) while warping city walls in and out of time,
sometimes interfere with The Monk's Psychokinetic powers and rivers will suddenly appear
in the middle of a grassland.
89) You can only sail galleys and triremes within a viewing distance of books written in your own language or the hearing distance of songs being sang in it. Which is consistent throughout the game, since you can only sail away from your shores after discovery of optics, which aids you in seeing the said books from farther away...obviously.
155) Pacifists actually love war, so they pay their soldiers more.
Unfortunately as this thread has progressed, a lot of ppl have stopped providing the pseudo-scientific/mystical reasonings and are just listing game mechanics out of context.210) Capapults firing rocks can have an actual impact on tanks. Maybe the tank crews are just rolling on the floor laughing at the idiots throwing rocks at them and the drive into one each other!
