I finally got back to my earlier game. I can't purchase Great Recon units by any means (I have the Exploration tree complete and I have the Reformation ability to purchase all Great People). I did get a Great Explorer thanks to the Belem Tower and annex the Cossacks. This had the unexpected...

No, it's concrete. It gives Production.

I had this same issue yesterday. One of my scouts was sitting at level 4 *forever*, unable to get that last 40xp needed to hit level 5. And I need to annex the Cossaks to so I can improve their Feathers! Idea: anyway we can give Great Merchants and / or Dignitaries the ability to improve tiles...

Well, if the pattern holds, it's Philip IV of France. Taking down Templars and teaming up with the Mongols.

I am. Usually, I tend to turtle my way through most of history until I get artillery and can safely bombard cities with battleships and artillery. Now I can do the same with Archers. I've only fought one major war so far with CiD. The only difficulty there was dealing with the Inca putting their...

If we need more to make a convenient number, I'm sure we can come up with something. Looks pretty cool. I might have to take a stab at Wonderizing it.

I must have missed that discussion because you wouldn't have heard the end of it from me. Gimme my cacahuatl! And wampum! And rai! What's the current list of currencies, and what are their icons like?

Could go with cacahuatl as the Mesoamerican currency. People went so far as to make counterfeit cacao beans so it's close enough.

I edited in the link in my last post on the previous page, but the edit went through after this page started so it would have gotten lost in the shuffle.

You might have seen this in the earlier post, but its based on the Demographic Transition model. It's not directly tied to prosperity exactly, though there is correlation today (the availability of agricultural and medical technologies plays a more important role, but more prosperous nations...

It does seem odd that in that scenario, both Egypt and Greece are in the same Prosperity category, despite Egypt losing as much money as Greece is making. The current Prosperity-based migration effect is purely a bonus, right? Either your largest City or your smallest gains population, but no...

Is there any reason to not have a currency at all? I could see a rationale for that if other Civs can just adopt my currency without my permission and mess with my Prosperity figures. But if they need my permission, I don't see why making a currency couldn't be mandatory. Though, how do Civs...

Glad to see progress being made on Prosperity. Looking forward to it. Do you establish your own currency when you research Currency? How do you adopt the currency of others? Any plans for Ideology synergy (stronger bonuses when you're sharing currency with a Civ of the same Ideology)? Speaking...

I haven't had a chance to play with Slaves yet, but can you really acquire them without expending Shackles? It really seems like that should be the only way to get them, either by acquiring Shackles through your own slave raids or by purchasing them from others. Maybe Imperialism could let you...

So I started out trying to find a new image to use as the Human Genome Project's splash, but I quickly got distracted by other ideas. So here goes: NEW INTERNATIONAL PROJECTS International Space Station - As before, but the Wonder also provides a free Space Station in the city where it is...
