Nice, I won't cry when iron gets revealed and I've settled on it then.

Thanks, is there any benefit added from resources?

Really basic question, how does city placement (i.e. hills, snow, desert) change the city tile yield? I tried having a look in the unified changed log, but couldn't find what I was looking for. I could very easily have missed it so apologies if it is there.

I don't want to hijack the topic as it is old news, but we relive this debate as the current setup is half-arsed: 1) The GW never becomes obsolete... not my first choice, but a justifiable option. 2) Becomes obsolete when the attacker has teched past it as a deterrent... I'd prefer this, but...

So you think that the GW should only become obsolete when the defender has discovered artillery, are they practising on their own defences?

One day my dream of tanks not being slowed down by an antiquated Great Wall might become a reality.

Great video, lots to chew over. I have a question about an old issue. Is the Great Wall wonder going to become obsolete if attacker has artillery rather than the defender?

Trade Opportunities provides existing information more clearly. Although Info Addict doesn't change the rules is does give information you wouldn't be able to get normally. I'd quite like Civup (a collection of UI mods including Trade Opportunities), but it would slow the game down for me.

Liked this GotM and the replay, Spain showed up in Aztec colours on the replay though.

Gunnergoz I edited my original post to add the Supercarrier and explain the reasoning for putting Destroyers and Cruisers where they are, partly historical, but mainly for gameplay so that the cruisers fulfil a more offensive role and the destroyer/corvettes a escort/detection role. I've left...

Interesting discussion so far. I pushed for the introduction of 1 range ships in VEM, but as G&K has changed the rules for navies I think it's only right to start with a clean slate. This is an overview so I've placed the ships by era instead of a specific tech. I've also tried to concentrate...

I tried to sort religions by the number of cities which followed them, this sorted the list alphabetically instead of numerically, so "8, 7, 4, 11, 1" instead of "11, 8, 7, 4, 1".

I'm surprised by the standard of the expansion as well, I was expecting the new mechanics, but not the little bits of balancing here and there. Superficially it has fixed most of the problems I had with the game, in particular RAs being linked to the science you and your ally produce!! I think...

I'd second this, there are lots of little changes all over the game which will be missed otherwise, the vanilla changes to SPs, RAs and GPs although not major are all moves in the right direct as far as I'm concerned.

I think religious warriors are covered by vanilla G&K anyway.
