!
per specialist and great person tile improvement really adds up. The bonus bulb from building science buildings (which I want to build anyway) in Seoul is the icing on the cake.
?...sure. It just seems like a stupid mechanic. I don't like to play Austria because it feels like cheating and when I see Austria in the game I try to eliminate her early...not because she is a threat but because the design of the UA is so poor that it can ruin the game. On the last point, if the CS would remain CS so that when I capture them they can be liberated (and not be given the option to burn them), then I wouldn't dislike it quite as much. Austria really needs to be fixed.
