My point was that free speech does not have to be absolute, even in a society that promotes freedom of speech. The classic example is that it is unacceptable to shout ‘fire’ in a crowded theatre. I don’t think there has ever been a society (now or past) with complete freedom of speech (and nor...

Fair enough. I am not a minority in any way (well I am Scottish in the UK, but that’s a superior minority of course…!) I think we agree that bigotry should not be allowed (even when considering free speech). But we probably disagree as to what constitutes bigotry.

You’re right, freedom of speech can never be absolute. But I would still argue that the importance of freedom of speech is paramount and we should be mindful of where it is restricted. Whilst horrible, I don’t follow as to how this relates to freedom of speech?

Coming back to the original topic, I would agree that free speech is important, and that we shouldn’t take it for granted. Consequences don’t have to be lethal, and the most significant impact is likely to be self censorship (ie people won’t say what they think for fear of some penalty, eg...

I’ve only watched from season 5, but this is the moment that came to mind as well. Sulla’s reaction was so so good

One simple piece of advice that makes a big difference - check what tiles your city is working. For example, in neither of the screenshots (turn 20 or 40) you have shown are you working the fish, and in the latest one you are not working the corn either. Switch your tiles and you’ll get the...

This thread is a great start: https://forums.civfanatics.com/threads/beginner-help-the-basics.648469/ AdvancedCiv may change a few things, but I’m sure the basics still hold.

Worker first is the right call ~90% of the time. The exceptions being some coastal starts where workboat first is better and a couple of pretty specific edge cases. This will typically take 15 turns on normal speed. Generally after the worker it’s best to grow the city (usually whilst...

One factor that needs to be considered is the passive GPP. Even apart from the great library, any wonder producing scientist points is a T50 great scientist. Probably the most useful ones are scientist (academy), engineer (free wonder), merchant (trade mission) although I haven’t considered...

Yes Taj would actually be among the more useful ones. Hanging gardens or Oracle would also be there for small early boosts. For the best wonder - I think either Great Library or Kremlin as suggested above.

I also live in the UK and I think your concerns are good ones. I choose not to upload my details (I haven’t encountered a site yet that has made this an issue). But I don’t like the step into increased tracking and / or security risks it presents. On the other hand, I would be interested in...

Good settler move!

Good on them for setting up a new party that aligns with their beliefs. I don’t expect them to get too far, partly because they are at one end of the political spectrum (with an electoral system that typically favours the centre) but also because of their seeming disorganisation.

Assuming the warrior finds nothing, I think this is a case for wandering east with the settler…

Hard to tell from screenshot but do you have the deer roaded? That’s one extra health. Personally I don’t like the machinery build and would stop running scientists in Carthage and instead run them in Hadramentum. But not sure if too late to avoid…
