yes. maritime city state nerf did not hit "food to capital" and beeline penicillin.

Ever had a capital over size 45?

From my understanding, the USA doesn't use stealth fighters (which are actually bombers but meh) or stealth bombers (like the B2) for "recon" because their fuel efficiency is horrible. Pretty much if you see a stealth plane, someone's about to catch a JDAM or a tac nuke up the wazoo. There...

Certainly scandinavians lived in their region, farming, trading and honoring traditions long before the 8th century AD. Altho called barbarians by Rome, they were well established along the coasts of Norway hundreds of years bc. Scandinavian sword/axe men should not require iron resource, as...

This is a horrible example. You can't raze capitals. :spear:

So you can make great people faster...

I feel bad for Kael. Maybe their new patch fixed alot. On paper it should have been a 21st century "Master of Magic"... which incidentally is selling for ONE HUNDRED, FORTY FOUR DOLLARS AND NINETY EIGHT CENTS on amazon.com. A real deal...

I haven't noticed an empire-wide unhappiness specifically for razing cities... I know when you opt to raze, for the duration, you annex the city, and thus take the hit for the # of cities and # of population, then the occupied city penalty... but when the city is gone, the happiness returns to...

Why would you want to reduce micro-management? I never even understood the use of automated workers. Yeh, it's an opinion, but I really can't see why people would enjoy turn based strategy without taking advantage of the micro-managing aspects. Some turns I check each city to see if I can...

Are you 2 playing prince or lower difficulties wherein you likely are significantly ahead of the AI's in points, land, tech, wonders, etc? The AI always hates the person in the lead. Could explain why you're having problems getting along with them.

They just nerfed food income from maritime city states. Ally is never less than +1food per city and +3 food in the capital per allied maritime CS. I honestly didn't pay attn yet to how much it improves with successive eras. On a standard size map, By end game I "usually" have 3 or 4 size 15ish...
