Anyone understand this? I thought that a desert city would gain 1 faith & 1 food per adjacent desert or desert hills, doesn't happen, why not?

If the captured city had a theater zone not on hills, when city is captured it does not translate into an acropolis (presumably because not on hills), and the map shows no theater zone. BUT it appears in the list of zones (and you can't make another one), and you do seem to get the culture...

Same. but found esc key clears it.

they do, or If I denounce when I am able, they do. The problem is that you can't declare war even from a pre-existing CB, ie until the denouncement runs out you can't declare war on that civ at all, all CBs are "greyed out". Which is a bit bad really.

Interesting one which I have not noticed before: playing as nubia on epic speed Turn 305 Macedon has denounced me and I can declare formal war on Macedon, BUT diplomatic service will come next turn and as Macedon had converted one of my cities it seems worth the wait to declare holy war. Turn...

Retired incomplete in 1988. Normal speed is a travesty and should be deleted.

Settled my peninsula, had a million year war with Toku just to keep him down. Keshiks are not that great, for taking 60% cities anyway, but ok for pillage I suppose. Qin and Mansa are up on tech. Problems all associated with NORMAL speed and trying to be warlike, it just doesn't work well...

Me too. Used to be confident on Monarch now its back to Prince.

Personally I agree with this fundamental principle. Its NOT the financial trait that seems overpowered :mad: , its the cottage strategy which makes things unbalanced :sad: . So far I have *not* seen any suggestion that tinkering with the financial trait will make the cottage strategy less...

The fact that the AI uses towns isn't relevant. It's that fact that they are a dominant strategy on most maps for most traits for most civs. They beg the question "Why do anything else, nothing works better" That is why they are unbalanced.

Well wasn't this a change....The most powerful leader wasted on a warlord killfest when Cathy may just have been able to provide the edge needed at emperor to allow a Monarch player a good chance of winning. Still, that's life. What to do: I'm normally a Monarch player and am familiar with...

2 things which need attention because they are unbalancing: Chop rush towns In this thread there have been many suggestions to fix these items, but here are a couple of 'off the wall' ideas: Make forests more attractive to keep by introducing a tile improvement before sawmills...

A general theme seems to be; Forts could be useful if they could be built outside your culture boundary in nutral territory. One reason why I would want to do that is to stop a cultural civ building a city (in a useless blue circle) right on my boundary, (so place a fort there), and me...

Sometimes you can deduce a barb city has 'appeared' because wandering barbs suddenly beeline towards it to man it. I had an instance where I was about to get my ass handed to me by some wandering barb archers when they did an about face and marched away, I then discovered this new barb city...
