Dreams of a Better Future: "When you expend a great merchant, musician, diplomat, or prophet in another civs territory, target city loses 1 population, scaling with era. Your nearest city gains population equal to the pop lost by the target city in this way." UB: Frontier Fort, replaces Walls...

I also really like the Panzer. With the Zero and B17 gated, there is a great dearth of late game UU. And the Panzer rush is a devastating, and fun, stratagem, especially if combined with Zealotry so you can faith buy 6 elite panzers at a time.

One of America's problems is not that its a bad civ, its not, but its pretty bland. Sentry is good, but the land purchasing ability dwindles in usefulness in the late game, even though it lets you get a strong ancient start. I've got two suggestions that I think would make them more...

Is this going to include citadels, conquests, goody hut land, the works? I just want to know for clarity if there are any edge case land gains it won't apply to. Re: Inquisitors I'm just not a fan of messing with them. It doesn't feel different enough to be interesting. As an alternate idea...

The UI_BC1 folder did no exist in my directory so I created it and copied the files over. Worked perfectly and the error is now fixed. Thanks.

I am experiencing the same issue as this user. Same texture load errors to be specific. https://www.reddit.com/r/civvoxpopuli/comments/9w2glr/unable_to_load_texture/ I gather from reading the quick answers thread this is somehow related to EUI being installed incorrectly by the auto installer...

While we're on this topic, has anyone even seen the AI take Lebensraum and make good use of the bigger citadel capture area? It was something I started to wonder about but have not had enough games to really watch for it since I started to think about it.

I would much rather see the field promo line be overhauled completely to give mobility bonuses than have all siege out range all cities until Arsenals. I could get some serious use out of speed 3 siege with no enemy lands penalty even with no damage boost at all.

I think we all need to take a step back on siege units and ask a different question. "How many cats/trebs/cannons should be needed to take a walled/castled/arsenal city?" Because I'm seeing plenty of "too weak, just right, a little strong..." when we don't know anything about how big an army...

Re: Drill v. Shock Counterpoint: Drill 2 opens up formation for Knights and Lancers, which is quite useful to counter enemy cavalry or punch through it while you're advancing. Drill promoted knights also upgrade into drill promoted Tanks, which become stalwart Tanks. And... If I get to Tanks...

Here is a slightly weaker city state I decided to conquer, on an inland sea+with lighthouse I believe, because I wanted it for a canal (you can insert your panama canal comments here). Mid 20s is still pretty strong for a classical era city, and I was not going to be able to use very many...

Just for the sake of discussion, here are some hilltop CS with allies (me in this case). I feel pretty confident I could take these with Dromons, but with Catapults I would't even bother. Its exactly the situation PineappleDan is concerned by. I would need Trebs to attack these from the land.

It used to be and you could bankrupt the AI because they wanted it very badly and would pay a premium for it. Conversely, if you have money to burn, you could buy up all the AI paper and prevent them from sending out diplomats, which the AI wasn't smart enough to see the trap. It better as it...

Same. I've been messing around with religion to much to get a good look at post industrial naval warfare. That said, I pulverized several CS 20-22 city states with Dromons in my last few games and the biggest force I ever threw at one was 5 Dromons and 2 Triremes. I didn't have any trouble...

Speak of the devil: Spanish Barrier Reef with a meager number of mountains. Nonetheless, quite powerful. Crushed my goal of 100F/Turn by Turn 100 with a church in every city, and a missionary for my two cities that needed converting. I conquered 3 city states with dromons for a huge Hero...
