I'm a sucker for the effects that let you turn one adjacency yield into another, so I actually like the Madrasa. But I wouldn't object to having Arabia's Faith+Science niche made a bit deeper. I'm actually more interested in seeing (basically) all of the Rise and Fall leaders updated. I...

I like that the change increases the ease of getting a pantheon for Georgia, but that still doesn't help Tamar get a proper religion. Also somewhat annoyed that the Tsikhe are still Renaissance Walls, but hopefully there are other subsidiary changes that help Georgia out. I agree that I would...

I just caught that I missed Canada myself. I was focused on the CAs and LAs, but I'll try to edit the other changes in. Hopefully the formatting won't get messed up again.

Speaking of which, I'm still holding out for a rebalance on Religion mechanics in general. If they're removing the Relic bonuses from Khmer, I would hope that the remaining ones get some improvements and the system itself is tweaked to be less cheesy.

I'm in agreement with Duke William of Normandy. It's probably just to avoid feature bloat on Toqui now that it provides the Mapuche with an improved economic base. Basically, it's just spreading the bonuses more evenly throughout the civ. Tying the combat bonus to the leader is also more on...

Thanks for catching that. I was having trouble with the formatting, but I think I fixed everything including the typo. I still think El Escorial is rather bad (or at the very least could be a bit more flavorful), but at least the economic benefits and production towards overseas districts...

I wasn't expecting to see this the first thing in the morning. Took me a while to get through all the discussion. I saw some users asking about before and after information. I don't feel like firing up my game to check there, so provided my notes from the previous patch are correct here are the...

That's a good point about Vietnam's early Woods planting. I had similar feelings about the Khmer and Canal technologies before Qin Shi Huang got the buff where they unlock Canals at Masonry instead of Steam Power. I still feel Khmer could get Canals at Engineering or something to that effect; a...

This is why I hope that the Civ 7 maps will use a slightly more Köppen climate classification accurate system where the base tile is more determined by temperature and elevation. Then Features would get put on them to provide variation. That way we can have things like temperate rainforests...

As if I didn't think Spain needed work before, seeing Portugal's bonuses has only further cemented my opinion that they need a rework. I will say that I'm rather impressed with the Portugal's abilities. I was never against the notion of it's inclusion, but I was always skeptical about how it...

I completely agree with either drastically upgrading the CB Leader Abilities or flat out replacing them. I do think that of the Casus Belli abilities, Chandragupta's ability works the best, but I still think a small scale domestic effect for when you want to shift gears or if enemies are out of...

If there was no concern about workload or making new assets, I completely agree making a Baray would absolutely be my preference as well. I think a Baray is a lot closer to a dam than an aqueduct, being a reservoir for water after all. So if they made a unique Dam, I'd be all for it, but I don't...

That would make a lot more sense. The joke totally went over my head. I think the way Grand Barays and Monasteries of the King are designed that just too awkward as they are. I don't think that adding new effects without changing the existing ones would be quite sufficient, as they'd still...

I'm very confused. The Kurgan is dangerous and needs a rework? The Kurgan is the Scythian Unique Improvement, I don't see how it is dangerous in any way.

It's just my opinion. I don't consider 1 Gold and 1 Faith base that can become 3 Gold and 1+(≤6) Faith when you have Horses, Cattle, or Sheep in the Modern era to be that impressive. But at the same time, it is not the hill I will die on. That honor goes to the Khmer's Grand Barays; which are...
