There is just a lot of cognitive dissonance between America's real world position today, and its place in Civ as average to below-average (I'm in...
I'm aware of the issues around the trade route policies, but I'm just going to pretend that everything works as intended and judge accordingly....
That's true, I had forgotten about that and it does weigh in favour of Brazil. I'm still on the fence because it comes so late in the game...

It's an odd inconsistency - Kilimanjaro etc. count as mountains but Lake Victoria does not count as a lake. I think I would prefer to see Lake...

Like many in this thread already, I've found that opening the Honor tree early in the game is very useful in BNW, but I almost always stick with...
I gave it a 9/10. It's really close to a must-buy, especially if you've been playing Civ 5 vanilla or G&K regularly. The culture victory is...
