I just did, the achievement meter doesn't move at all. Perhaps I need to put only one type of ressource in each city, and not mix and match, I'll try again.

I'm struggling to get the railroad points. If I understood correctly (and I'm pretty sure I missed something), you need to : - unlock the railroad tech and build railroad stations - unlock the factory tech annd build a factory in cities which happen to be connected to your capital by...

I wouldn't say unplayable either, but I'm terribly disappointed. The game was obviously released too soon, there are too many things that don't work, don't make sense, are pointless, haven't been tested. Religion is just bare bones, it might as well not be here. You're supposed to unlock...

I did the exact same mistake. Only one in the many, many details that lead me to think that the game needed a lot of polishing before release.

Religions are so bland and meh that I stumbled on the AI when discovering Theology : I could add one belief, said the game, but couldn't click on anything... I tried reloading, same thing... I forced the end turn, only to see that it was there again at the next turn... Until I realised that the...

I heard there was an archaelogist called Waldo somewhere ?

I don't agree at all. In a typical game, without owls or specific civs like Portugal or Mali, you only have one trade route per city, plus a handful (a "free" one with foreign trade, and all the other ones having to be earned with great people or wonders). Either you use this trade route for...

Since latest patch, galleys appear as scouts for coastal camps, on the very first turns, which make coastal settling a coin toss : either you can develop a bit, or you have a galley preventing from building fishing boats and trade routes as soon as turn 1. So I might consider it, even if it's...

What you say about the overlapping roles makes sense, but the situation makes me cringe. There's no comparison between "discover navigation + build two galleys" and "discover something else, build one scout, two slingers, a builder and a warrior" As for the exploration part of the galley, yes...

I finally understand why my precious luxuries are always targeted ! I thought the AI players banded against the human one, but it's only because we bother with improving ressources.

Well there are not so many civs with which you build more than one or two encampments and nobody minds. It's ok if some districts are more coveted by some civs and not the others.

It's great to have galleys, and thus less quads. Barbs no longer rule the seas for so many turns. However, it appears galleys appear with coastal camps instead of scouts, and make founding a coastal city really difficult. Either you're very lucky and you can develop for a few turns, then build...

I don't understand why there should be one civ above all others, is there a special prize for the one who identified the fotm civ and convinced everyone he was right ? I'm not a part of it anyway and that's why I play a civ to its strengths, even when it might not be optimal. Hence Mali with...

The button is here, it makes the usual sound when I click, but nothing happens - except when I click "view great works" when I get one (like, new work of an artist), it just closes the window.

Since you have lots of free builder charges, it makes sense to build missions first, then districts when you have enough population. You don't need to choose immediately, the free builder allows you to delay for a low cost.
