This should get fixed, I hope.

Given the number of lakes in the new map script, will there be any issues with Great Admirals spawning in a lake? Is there a check to confirm that Great Admirals can access the ocean when they spawn?

A. Religion isn't really worth investing in anymore, especially with how aggressively the AI pushes for it. Founder benefits (especially Tithe) are sorely overrated, enhancer beliefs don't matter if you aren't trying to spread a religion. What you want are pantheon beliefs and follower beliefs...

What? How am I overreacting? I didn't offer an opinion on anything; just an explanation for why people might be overlooking the top message box vs the right side message box. I don't have a problem, personally, with reading the top message box as well as the right sidebar, but I've seen others...

I worry that jungles and forests are becoming far too similar with the changes we've seen so far.

I thought Great Musician tourism-bomb strength was determined on when you generated them, so "stockpiling" them wasn't very effective if you generated a bunch of early Musicians. In my personal experience, if I get an early Musician I generally pop them for a Great Work...

The message log is easily overlooked, shows only 2-3 messages at any time, and fades out quickly when you start a turn. Players often look away from the computer or go do something else in between turns, especially when it starts taking longer. On top of that, important messages are shown as...

I wonder how this change will affect the Celts if NWs become a reliable thing to hunt for.

And Krakatoa gives science?! This is totally ahistorical!

I think the American UA could be improved, and I agree that the Pioneer experiment did not work out very well. +1 sight (does this apply to ALL units?) and +1 civilian movement (does this apply to Great People/Prophets and Archaeologists?) is good and should stay IMHO. I think the civilian...

BNW alleviates this quite a bit with trade routes being able to ship production and food to fresh cities. Tier 1 and 2 buildings go up in only a few turns each.

Mentor's Hall needs to go IMO. It doesn't add an interesting decision to the early game, which already has many other competition decisions (Settler, Worker, Scout, military, Monument, Shrine, Granary), and I don't really see the need for boosted science in BNW vanilla.

Early gold is an excellent change IMO, it really makes that initial trade route incredibly valuable, just as valuable as grabbing your pantheon or second city or ... Making difficult decisions that impact your game is fun. I like having Piety available in Ancient era. All four trees now...

Does this version of PerfectWorld fix the graphical bugs with terrain appearing on the edges of the map? (Tile displaying Mountain is actually plains, etc.)

I want to keep the unlocked wonders, if only to put some constraints upon Science-focused gameplay, which already get enormous advantages over other approaches by simple reason of having access to everything that much earlier than everyone else. Locked wonders help keep this somewhat under control.
