    Are there any huge/large maps in Vox Populi ?

    I've been interested in Vox Populi , but the map scale looks/feels rather cramped; are 'normal sized (6-10 cities)' the most cities that VP can support ?

    Building improvements in other civ's territory (Civ 5)

    In my current game, as Elizabeth, I DW'd the Ottomans, took their capital and then Declared Peace [DP'd] (on a large Inverted Earth map) . I have filled my end of the eastern African Ocean to the Proto Tibetan mountain range; which is why I took on the Ottomans to "turn the northern corner" of...

    Where to settle III?

    A tossup here, I usually decide in favor of observatories for the science pluses, and whether we're using the 1 or 2 tile range-to city mode; stacks nicely with the library, university, national collage, and Oxford series . Under the ancient rules of 1 tile range-to-city, I'd go NEast, with...

    Overseas city connections are HARBORS, or SEAPORTS, if YOU'RE dropping a city on a coast; allied cities might allow you to land your units, so you could build a new city nearby ... but for city connections [harbor, seaport] to work for YOU, it has to be in your city, and you get to build it .

    BIG PROBLEM here : My Incas are getting shafted during turns 228-231 . Situation: on T228, Cusco is 6 tiles distant from Tiwanaku; 1] engineer in Cusco sent to Tiwanaku to arrive on T230, 2] Chichen Itza (19 turns to build) becomes available at Tiwanaku on T230, chosen to build on T230...

    OOPS !, I misquoted my 'shots title; so new corrected group of 6 shots is found as "C5VxP-01 through 06" . Soon I'm getting the 2nd 'dip' of Authority, (upper right) science for kills; which dovetails with my Empire wide University push . It seems to me that most folks don't use my 4 worker...

    Renaissance Infrastructure

    New to VP, so does a [or several] village improve TR yields ?, Caravansari are a vital part of my vanilla game, does VP allow for the 'extra TR/caravansari mod' ?? Does routing a TR through a secondary city you own trigger secondary gold ?, say form BOSTON through (Albany)(Seattle) > ROME ...

    Heartily agree with LifeOfBrian and azum4roll !!, finally found unclaimed horses near Venice at T205 ... had to trade with an allied CS to get 4 nags . Road crews [4 workers] are driving past city 6, Vilcas {bananas, olives, Cerro de Potosi}, to nail down 14 horses, and monopolize Gems and...

    Ah, 'tis Monday, and by T 212 the map is becoming more defined by exploration : Venice is in the upper northwest, and lately found by my Incas ; Indonesia is somewhere off in the northeast corner, shrouded in mystery and rumor ; There is a 4th nationality lurking perhaps in obscurity in the...
