Are you by any chance playing with the YnaMP mod enabled? This mod breaks Barb camps converting into CS's, a real pity as I love how you can guarantee your favourite CS's showing up with it, but at least with conversion enabled they have a chance of showing up later.

You must also check which other civs might have lucked into relics through a goodie hut. Most civs charge a kings ransom for them but I've had some domination oriented civs offer them for a lux.

I've noticed this before as well, although I have also seen levied troops have 2nd and 3rd tier promotions available. Very strange.

I have noticed in my recent games that my builders can harvest wheat after researching pottery, but I am sure it used to require irrigation. Also noticed I can build wonders and districts on flood plains whereas before I couldnt. Did these changes come in a patch and are there other similar...

Also remember that when the prophet race is getting close you can recruit one with gold or faith In the great people tab. The cost will go down depending on how close you are so this may make all the difference if it's a matter of just a few turns.

I don't see Apadana mentioned in this thread. +2 envoys upon completing the wonder and +2 when completing any other wonder in the city that built it. I had a strange game last night where the map loaded up and it was as if most civ's and city states just didn't load. So i effectively had a huge...

What I've been enjoying a lot in the early game is that in order to be able to expand as much as you'd like you sort of have to have a conquest war or two early on. And the AI can be quite brazen in their forward settling which can make it quite rewarding to conquer some. And i love capturing...

I've found that the game can be quite finicky about what it considers 'Explored' coastal hexes for trade route purposes, so my suggestion would be to send a gunboat around the coast to fogbust completely. I've read that one of the quests that involves retrieving a satellite is bugged, and...

This is where I found out about it but they don't cite sources. Building floating cities apparently, harvesting undersea resources! http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2015-05-18-civilization-beyond-earths-first-expansion-is-rising-tide

I don't think it can be done - i tried gifting a carrier loaded with air units once and the recipient received an empty carrier.

I love the exploration tree - I think two things that let it down are a) the opener's movement and sight ,is not a quantifiable yield bonuses, however the useful it may be, and b) the free great admiral really is useless. Apart from that the policies are all good to great with maritime...

Influence level also affects resistance time and population loss when capturing a city - if you take a city from a civ whom you are dominant over in tourism there will be NO turns of resistance and no population loss.

In my experience it costs 200 in Ancient, classical and medieval eras, then it goes up in Rennaissance to 300, 400 in Industrial, 600 in Modern, 800 in Atomic and 1000 in Info. So no, it's not cheaper in ancient Era, and the increase isn't a fixed percentage.

I did NOT know that 8| I was always under the impression that it only applied to Infantry type units. I'll definitely reconsider my stance on the forge then! Does anyone know if the seaport's naval production bonus applies to cargo ships and work boats as well?

"Food" in Civ 5 is just shorthand for Population Growth Potential, just as "Happiness" is shorthand for Governability. So by extending citizen's lives a hospital drastically increases population growth potential. On Topic, i love the resource-specific buildings like stables and stone works -...
