I've spent about hour and a half searching the net for clarification on this.
Playing latest version of civ v1.0.1.332 - new to the game - the game gives me message about annexing a city that:
"...it will increase your unhappiness and slow your acquisition of social policies and great people. You will not be able to reverse this."
I understand the extra happiness hit you take for annexing a city
I understand the social policy hit is the 15% extra culture points needed for the next social policy that comes with every extra city you conquer - (is that right - is that what its referring to???)
BUT I don't understand where the "slowing the acquisition of great people" comes from - what game mechanic is this message referring to - how does city acquisition affect the accumulation of great people points???
Much appreciate any help - thanks.
