Ok, read a basic guide to learn about the different game mechanics! Happiness for example affects your cities growth.

I don't think research order should make much difference, but I've never tried the fast game. On normal, most of the time I just research one of the ones I've boosted. Do you know how the differenct victories work? Are you familiar with the systems like housing and amenities? That's where I...

This is a good hint! Because the leading civ isn't necessarily the one with the most domestic tourists so it makes sense to look out for that one.

Oh ok, thanks for the clarification! I get it now. One questions remains though: Is it correct that it shouldn't make much of a difference where I send my rock bands to?

Yeah, not sure I understand correctly. So does that mean lifetime tourism doesn't matter for anything? Also, how do I figure out how much tourism points I need to create 1 foreign tourist with another civ? You're using some formula there but I don't know where you are getting the numbers...

I feel stupid. Went through this thread and I'm still wondering: What do the numbers mean for victory? How much better is a rock band that gets me 1000 points vs. 250? I have no idea what it means when a concert gets me +1.000 tourism in Japan. It's not 1000 tourists, since I see I only need 200...

As I was saying, the railroads: Here's a pic. The subway railroad goes from Laungeston to Kourdasa

7 (rounded up from 6.5) I really like the expansion. Many good ideas but it will take some work to balance and refine the new mechanics. For example climate change: It happens too fast; at the same time it has not enough influence on the game. There's no upside to going green. (And if you've got...

* Fix barb camp spawning * Fix road graphics * Fix trading (1 gold offers from AI) * Separate the 2-in-1 voting * Give me an option to win a diplomatic victory sooner. It's turn 300 and I'm sitting on 2000 diplo favour credits so I've already won BUT I still gotta wait 50 more turns to have the...

Yeah I still have a save file. Can post that when I have access to my gaming computer again. No mods.

I've only finished one game in GS so far and I still got no idea how railroads work. Actually I couldn't even figure out how to build them. I've researched all techs and thought my trade routes would place them at some point but it never happened. I've seen them go through ocean tiles which...

You might be on to something there with your cluster theory! I'm making similar observations regarding resources and city states.

I've started about 25 times with Mali. Very mixed results on the maps, but only a few starting points weren't near a desert at all. Some of the maps I've played 20 to 100 turns to see more of the map, check out barbarians etc. Maybe I'm mistaken but I get the feeling resource distribution has...

What this doesn't explain is why in some games there are no barbarians at all. Not even a single scout. What's also weird is that sometimes camps instantly respawn on the very next turn.

I've not seen crazy overpowered units like in R&F and I got a fair amount of time to catch barbarian scouts before they got back to their camp. But instant re-spawns are insanity. This can't be intended behaviour.
