Thanks. I'll make a note to try to test that out next time the opportunity presents itself.

What are the constraints of the Great Generals ability to take tiles?
Mainly:
What are the constraints of the Great Generals ability to take tiles?
Mainly:
- How many tiles away from the nearest city can a general be and still claim tiles?
- Sometimes the ability does not appear: is this just when the GG would claim a tile that contains a city or a tile that is adjacent to a city or are there more limiting factors?
The GG must either be inside your culture borders or in a tile immediately adjacent to your culture borders.

So I could technically have 1 city claim the entire equator or map for that matter, assuming I have enough generals and there are no cities/water in the way?
Seems like an odd use of GGs, but yes. Keep in mind that the city could still only assign citizens to work tiles in the first three rings of tiles.

Friends,
one doubts
It is advisable to use the General to create a fort or use it with the troop

If I have a city one hex away from a mountain, would I be eligible for an observatory?
For an observatory, the city center needs to be immediately adjacent to the mountain (i.e., the mountain has to be in one of the 6 hexes adjacent to the city center).

Related to that mountain question ... I keep getting city states who ask me to build Machu Picchu. AFAICT, none of my cities have a mountain in their first ring of hexes.
1. Are the city states asking me to build something I cannot?
2. Are they (in effect) asking me to annex one of my puppets, which may or may not be close enough to a mountain?
3. How close must the mountain be to build those Wonders that require one?

Machu Picchu and Neuschwanstein can be built in any city that is 1 or 2 tiles from a mountain (i.e., ring 1 or ring 2 tiles around the city center).
The CS quests could be based on a puppet's ability to build the wonder, in which case annexing that puppet may be the only way to build the wonder.

Do rivers always end at the coast in Civ 5? How do rivers correlate to terrain?
I just realized while starting a new game that looking at the rivers might be a good way to tell which way the ocean is, and which way mountains or hills are. This is very important when scouting on turn 0 or early-game scouting direction in general.
There are many times where I'd like to know where the coast is so I can check it out with my warrior and perhaps settle my capital there.

Is there any recommended distance Civ V uses to space out city-state from Civ, or city-state from city-state?
Hi!
Been playing civ5 BNW and reading this forum randomly from here and there, and still there comes puzzles I cant solve in-game so I might just ask. Cant remember all of those problems I encounter, but here are some:
Bulbing great ppl. Should I save them and bulb like 3 or more at a time, or just bulb them when they're born if not building an academy / making great work? If they should be bulbed more than 1 at a time, should I bulb all of them in 1 turn or 1 / turn or something for maximum gain? And if I win the World Fair and I've saved some writers, which turns should I use them? (and all at one turn?)
Building lumber mills. I used systematically to save forest tiles in CIV5 and build lumber mills on them, when they get 1 hammer boost later in the game. Is this recommended, or should I just hack them early game? Maybe it's that I feel growth is more important than before, but I dont feel those mills to be that good anymore.
Sometimes I need a strategic resource, and I see there is one in the lands of my allied city state. They've even build mine in that tile (coal/aluminium/uranium), still I dont get the resource. Is this maybe because that city state isn't t technologically advanced enough to find those resources yet? Anyway to know, when I'll get those resources?

If I buy a faith building in my city (say, pagodas), then that city converts to a different religion, do I still have functional pagodas?
Yes, the pagoda will still work.

Wow, so it can be good to have your city convert to a foreign religion only to be converted to your own. Thanks!

Is double posting allowed in this forum? (Link to general rules?)
thanks
thanks
If by "double posting" you mean posting the same question/message/content in multiple threads (either in the same forum or in multiple forums), no, that is generally viewed as spam. The two most relevant pieces of the forum rules are "Post in the correct forum" and "Duplicate threads are usually merged and the one first started will appear in the list of threads."
