Exactly, because Petra is all about the food on hills esp those with fresh water access for farms. Kasbah makes those hills viable for cities without Petra. Petra+Kasbah is just a sea of one-tile unspecialised overkill :crazyeye:

:deadhorse: I think Liberty is solid. It used to be the case that you could save your early gold for a settler/worker but that's out of the picture now. On top of that the quick settler/worker can get an enormous situational benefit depending on your start (eg unlucky RNG with barbs, not a many...

I know it's not related, but if anything I'd like to be able to demand tiles in peace deals. You win a war and the AI is willing to give you all its gold, resources and two cities to boot.. but I'd rather take the tile with the lux

I want the Louvre to provide to the city a free Museum, the Sydney Opera House an Opera House, the Eiffel Tower a Broadcast Tower, the Notre Dame a Cathedral and Stonehedge a Monument!

Obviously :mischief: .. but there's no Western/Roman Catholicism in game, it's Catholicism (there's Greek catholicism too, and some areas such such as Southern Italy/Hungary started off as Orthodox and they're not exactly eastern.) Eastern Orthodoxy, dunno feels somewhat patronising, a very...

I doubt it'll happen but I hope Eastern Orthodox is renamed simply Orthodoxy. Why is that geographical designation needed :/ its makes it look ugly

Eh the Celtic ability ensures they found the first pantheon/religion picking the beliefs they want first. It can't get more straightforward than that

How so? The Celts start with their faith per turn from the get go.The Byzantines will start getting the benefit after the Celts will have founded their Pantheon.

Santorini and a famous salt mine or something. Game could use some more gold producing wonders.

Byzantium should get something like: Patriarchate of Constantinople: Capital produces 1 :c5faith: faith PT upon unlocking your first social policy, increased to 3 :c5faith: faith PT upon fully unlocking one branch. Choose one more Belief than normal when you found a Religion.

Well the vast majority of canals are not used for large ship traffic and medium sized vessels became able to use canals only after steam (there are no winds in canals). The only way to properly implement canals is to bring back the trade route feature betwen cities on the same river, and...

Venice was traditionally more famous for its clothing fabrics and goldsmithing than glass. Murano glass is famous but Murano was a city in association with Venice. I'm not being pedantic! If anything Bohemia is more famous for its glassworks. ..and kangaroos? really?

I agree that the Byzantine UA is annoyingly weak. It should help you get a religion faster in some way like the Celtic UA. The game tries to nudge towards that path by desert/tundra starts which kind of sucks since a) the AI loves Petra and you will have to tech/rush it if you have a desert...

I wouldn't build the cities on hills. Hills with freshwater access (where u can put farms) are simply amazing early game, while that many flood plains are an overkill.

At around the mid game all decent land in the map will be taken. If you find yourself with no room to expand while your wide archnemesis can also compete for a CV then what's left?
