The barbarians are vikings. Everything they do screams that XD. Also, I think the issue is how civilians are always worked in Civ V anyways, doesn't matter who owned them, when you attack them, they become loyal to you completely. Probably not much to be done there until DLL are released...

I am a huge wonder hog, most of my games I build them as often and as quick as possible, but truth is, even as one of the groups starting with Mysticism, I don't normally build Stonehenge until having finished another science simply because there is too much to do in the city (build another...

I am sure it has been noted before, but the great library should offer a free science, and the oracle should offer a free policy, as opposed to the other way around as it is now.

So, Russia declared war on me, turn 37. Yay for her being more peaceful... lol XD. We will survive! Side note, rushing my early wonder with Stonehenge, might not be a bad idea if you can choose at least one weak government type early on seeing as I will finish my wonder well before I can adopt...

Just curious, did the Ship of the Line ever get changed from 17 to something else since the unit it replaced was strength 30?

Been anxiously waiting all day for 10.3... can't wait to start a new game up to play it... lol.

On of the main downsides to a puppet city is the lack of control over it. While, like you, I mostly keep conquered cities as puppets, at times I will annex them if they are of great value. I noticed that the game doesn't use all of the population in a city if it is a puppet, no more than 66%...

I understand why you have the production cost of units increase as you get more of them, but atm I am thinking that it is overdone. While not to painful at first, and when you have many types of units to choose from (early game), middle game only has one infantry, one cavalry, and one...

Not sure if this a bug with Nights or main game, but it seems that most of my puppet cities don't use all their population. I have one with 14 people and using 9, and another with 7 people and only using 3, plenty of other plots to put them and with improvements as well. Any ideas? Don't want...

Just a quick question, didn't see in the change log. This a saved game compatible for true or just going to say it is in game? Seems some serious changes to be. Also, no change to the Ship of the Line strength? :-(

Sounds good, though question, it going to be saved game capable? Sounds like some reordering of techs and adding new buildings into it...

Couple notes here... As mentioned earlier, if it isn't hard, be real nice to have the techs cleaned up slightly with the extra _____ connections than needed (if, for example, pottery leads to calendar which is required for writing, no need for pottery to link to writing). Others are just typos...

Not sure steam power is done right. You obsolete Caravel and Frigate which are ocean capable units, and instead allow only the ironclad which cannot enter ocean. Thus, until you go quite a bit ahead, you can't go into the ocean anymore...

I think it depends on your play style. When playing the Persian Empire, I take a few deep, but play broad over the policies. I have 3 or 4 of tradition, 3 or 4 of Honor, the same in Piety (I wait and get Religious Leaders when I want a golden age XD), and just started to delve into Commerce...

I am having the exact opposite in one of my games, most of the CS are allied to some major power, so I think it is more a luck of the draw with the random factors determined at the beginning of the game. Also, glad to see bronze working will have some value now. I normally just skip that (even...
