That is an... interesting response. I'm not sure leaving TEXT_KEY_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH where you want "surprise" options is a good way to go about that, anyhow. ;) So far I've seen the Ancient Tomb one, as D'Tesh -- I always pick the option that levels a hill and gives +2 commerce on the tile...

Dunno if this has been answered elsewhere, but do you suppose we could have a list of the effects of the new events that do not have descriptive text in place yet? It's a bit of a pain having to reload a save 2 or 3 times whenever one comes up. ;)

I'm not sure it is, but I have friends who could answer. I'll see about it.

1000 gold puts you anywhere from 30 to 60 points above "Allied" with a city-state depending on your initial standing, social policies and the game speed, I think. Let's assume 45 for the sake of argument, and let's also assume that it decays at 1 point per turn even though in practice, if...

What is it about farms that make them immune to a well-placed surface-to-air missile?

I'm disappointed that on any map type other than maybe Pangaea, 4 battleships is an automatic back door into any empire.

In my last game (small archipelago) there were two Aluminum sources in the entire world, and they were at the south pole surrounded by ice and tundra. Just to add insult to injury, all of the Uranium was at the *north* pole, where France had been struggling all game. I did what I had to do...

I'd rather research KotE, a school, and Sorcery than Fishing, Sailing and Optics to develop a reasonable navy and divert production in a coastal city away from producing useful things like growth buildings or land units. Even if it does mean a shot at a late-game tech. Let's not forget that...

I really dislike this event, personally. I'm not aware of any way to mark or remember the location that chests spawn, so I have literally never gone to hunt one down. Not that I would anyhow, since it would require briefly emphasizing seafaring long enough to build an exploratory navy that can...

This is obviously somewhat moot with Alazkhan, but I've noticed that if you capture or convert units with Hidden Nationality of any kind, the name of their true owner still appears in the capture/convert blurb in the message log. I do find, though, that the Svartalfar are a little too eager...

Is it intended that the Tolerant trait allows a captor to cast the world spell of the civs they capture cities from? I surrendered a city to Prime Minister Esirce of the Grigori, and he popped Arcane Lacuna the turn immediately after. Not sure yet if that used up my ability to cast it, or...

This is certainly intriguing, but isn't RoK strong enough as it is?

This always bugged me, too. Isn't there some way to have the message declare adoption of some random choice among the other religions? And to have each city show that it is following that religion instead of Esus?

I had always assumed one mage per city buff, so I always went with Earth I. Goodness, but this has possibilities. :P

Can one mage cast all four of those simultaneously?
