It is kind of unreal for barb ships to have greater range than the civ's ships. Gameplay-wise it's fine, but it's not good from realism point of view.

"Choose Technology" is not a vanilla bug in the sense that the prompt is there in vanilla. About a month back (Mar-Apr), it was working just fine in VEM. Unless I'm mistaken, this problem started in 140s.

Negatives of puppets: 1. -25% yields 2. Unhappiness is similar to regular/annexed cities and one can't build, buy, or use much of anything. 3. Gold Focus which is counter productive. Has issues like cities not growing at all if grassland or river is not available. One could wait 30-50 or more...

Yes, that's a good point, but I find it to be counter productive to not improve the tiles to their best. For example, grassland may be better suited for a farm OR what if I don't have grassland or river. Puppet cities have almost the same unhappiness as annexed, so they should provide quite a...

Making/purchasing units and buildings AND individual citizen allocation is not possible with a puppet city. But not being able to change puppet city governor focus is a serious detriment because it defaults to gold focus which often stops the puppet cities from growing or even gets them starving...

China starts with a GG too. Persia starts with an Immortal. My thinking was Mongolia can start with GG UU Khan especially if it starts with a scout. Mongolia and China are quite similar as they are in the same region geographically as well. I don't think militaristic civs start with an extra...

You are probably right. I don't understand what you mean by "start loaded for bear."

I think NOT being able to change the puppet city focus is a MAJOR issue in vanilla civ which should be fixed if possible. For example, I just conquered Mongolian capital early in the game, but it has only one citizen which is working a 2 gold desert tile. Improving it with a gold village won't...

That's great, but having Mongols start with a scout but without a general feels a bit lacking.

I didn't think it would be so important to replace a warrior. I think it would be much better if free General Khan unit started with a scout/warrior, similar to china because Khan is a Monglian UU and would complement scouting as it has 4 movement which enables it to move like a scout even on...

Yes, I see this text at least once in most games - "they denounced us, we denounced them" even though we never denounced them.

Thank You Seek. Then it probably means #3 is definitely not a bug and is actually a good thing. If I see any discrepancy then I will post.

I was wondering what the reasoning is behind letting a military civ start with a scout. Is it because Mongolia starts on a lot of rough terrain and somehow a scout would be more useful than a warrior? OR is it because Mongolia AI is performing so well that it needs to be weakened so it is not so...

IF #3 is a production overflow similar to food overflow when a new person is born, then it is a very good thing. Next time I play, I will try to see if it makes sense.

Thanks for the confirmation of problem #2. I always have to reload as I mostly forget to choose the research unless prompted. I don't think other mods are causing this problem, but it could be. I use the following mods: Unofficial Patch and Vanilla Enhanced (v 151) City State Diplomacy Mod...
