I have a question concerning the city-state request of "build a road between our capitals" since the new patch came out. In two successive games I've noticed a glitch in that I have completed the road but do not receive the reward. I have demolished the road and tried to complete it again with...

Thanks for the city. It should be left unprotected since we're going streaking to the quad.

Did you think about gifting that second barb city to either party in order to relieve its culture pressure and generate more good will?

Warrior one SW may open up the possible seafood resources at the cost of two settler turns. If you're feeling adventurous, moving the settler SW may take you to coast at the expense of flood plains.

I didn't think Sal would fold that fast - good job. Did you promote all of the numideans along the flanking II/combat 1 line or some purely up the combat line to deal with archers better?

The danger of scouting Sal's lands are that the longer he waits, the more likely the magic longbows will appear to protect his cities

I feel more secure with the Neal's stack since the spearman is there for protection from those Native warriors who ride atop bison

It's not often that you see the world at war from your previous post with Shaka sitting out the festivities

There's lots of food potential with the flood plains and irrigated rice - I agree with your comments. My only concern is the wasted spice taking up a potential bonus resource. But I've learned in your series not to doubt your initial location since you seem to pull rabbits out of .... Like...

Though it didn't matter - you could have always chosen the select religion option so any open technology could have become judaism, no just monotheism. Just in case you have to reload in the future

If we're altering geographic locations and modding the Andes, why not add horses to the new world and allowing some degree of balanced resources. This gives the western hemisphere a chance when the east comes visiting before the age of tanks.

Though it's been brought up before, the Incas should be moved to the Buenos Aires area. Though there will be limited contact initially with the rest of the civilizations, it gives them a real chance to develop and expand, building a real civilization that's not hemmed in by the Andes and Amazon...

I always thought Australia had far too many mountains on it when the highest peak is only 7000 ft. More of them should likely be hills.
