I played Civ II an insane amount since its first release. At the time my dad was the one who bought all computer games in the house, and he didn't like Civ III very much from what he had played at my aunt and uncle's house, so we never got that one. By the time Civ IV rolled around, I played it...

I like the "land claim" option. If you claim land, but don't settle it, there should be a possibility for a rival civ to have a competing claim to it. Attempting to work the tiles in that land or settle it would result in a diplomatic penalty. Something similar to the "settling too close"...

The problem with choosing a different leader for each era is that some civs wouldn't have enough recognizable leaders to have one per era. I do think that multiple leaders need to return, however.

For anyone interested in mods, there is the excellent Divided Monarchy scenario by Sampedestal available on the Steam Workshop. I do think that if Israel were to get in, it would have been in Gods and Kings, due to the religion focus of the game. I would like a DLC pack of Israel, Sumeria, and...

Great. Thanks. I presumed it would be Industrial, since the vanilla GP change at Industrial as well as Workers.

If attacking you means that the AI loses its trade route gravy train, it's not going to do it. I also see less city-state bullying and attacking for this reason.

I just got to Modern era, and my Great Writer still looks like Shakespeare. Is this a glitch?

Ah, I look like an idiot, then. I presumed they updated at Industrial like the other Great People. They must update at Modern, which I have not reached yet.

I think it's a bit strange to have someone who looks like Shakespeare or Mozart show up in the 1950s. The other Great People update their appearance beginning in the Industrial era. I was expecting the Great Musician to be an Elvis look-alike as well. Come to think of it, where is Elvis? I have...

I'm seeing the opposite. It took until the Classical era for anyone but me to get a Pantheon, and I snatched up Desert Folklore, so I got first dibs on religion despite playing Assyria, not really a religion-heavy civ. I might have just wound up in a game with neither Boudica, Haile, or Theodora.

He will spread the religion of the enemy. Missionaries, prophets, and inquisitors will follow the majority religion of the city they are built in. For this reason, if someone prophet-bombs your Holy City, don't buy an inquisitor and then use him on your city. Use one from another city following...

I hope there's DLC after BNW. I would love to see Hungary added, as well as other popular suggestions like Gran Colombia, Khmer, Australia, etc.

His units might have promotions, or he may have religious beliefs which boost combat near holy cities.

Vanilla's 10-point combat system amplified the "spearman beats tank" problem that G&K largely fixed with its 100-point combat system. That system alone is enough to justify getting the expansion.
