Harbors existed as early if not earlier than Lighthouses. The fact that it's a medieval era building is just a game mechanic. Base Civ5 gives Carthage free Harbors and it made sense because Phoenicia/Carthage was known for its harbors. IIRC, the change to Lighthouse was done to preserve the free...

People have already described why Poland, Ottomans, and Shoshone feel a bit weakly designed so I won't repeat. That's my answer for the most part. I do have a comment about Carthage though which lies in some weird twilight zone of being simultaneously great fun and weird design. Despite...

Is it just me or is the AI very inclined to tell me they're falling on hard times and beg me for luxuries, even if they're doing relatively well compared to others? I'm up til Classical right now and I don't think I've been offered gold for a luxury yet. France did ask to trade Perfume for...

Sure but isnt it supposed to be 2 rather than 10? I haven't gotten the session yet so if it's actually just 2 then that's good.

I was playing this on Marathon. I picked Ecumenism and Faith of the Masses. When the World Congress started I had "10" votes from Reformation, when Ecumenism says it gives 2 and Faith of the Masses none (although I know Holy Land would if I had enough Holy Sites which I did not). That seems...

I play on Marathon so it's inevitable that I trigger that event and it's rather annoying not gonna lie. I'm basically negative GPT for the entirety of Ancient since I go for the -2 gold to all cities as it's easier to get gold than production.

Probably some inside joke relating to HAILE TO THE CHIEF. ... I'll show myself out.

Yes! I'll check discord out.

Hey. I was using Gedemon's YAEMP with Cultural Diversity. It worked fine. I updated Cultural Diversity (installed all modular components), and it broke the map/civ selection. I'm back to using the older version of CulDiv, but I was wondering if there was a quick fix. I'm only asking here cause I...

Hm thought the settler cost was fixed in the recent hotfix. Will you release another one soon?

Figured out the issue and started a game. Settler cost was a whopping 1041 when I tried to build it. I was playing on Marathon. Reinstalled base VP. Looked back to normal. Loaded a Standard game with this beta. It was normal. Loaded a Marathon game with this beta. It was 9x the cost (3x...

Hm followed instructions but when I start a game (with no mods other than VP), my interface is all messed up. I load in and it's showing the Corporations and Monopolies window... top bar is a mess. I'm using EUI and I installed the version with EUI (hotfix). I imagine someone has gotten this...

I agree that chain buyouts, whether with population or gold, felt a little too strong. There should be a one per turn limit in my opinion.

For the next version, I was hoping something could be done about Stonehenge's instant faith boost on non-standard speeds. I decided to go for it a Marathon game or so ago, but when I completed it I didn't have enough faith to found a pantheon (100/150), whereas I would have otherwise had enough...

Territory on marathon could use a nerf. I regularly get 6 or so tiles from it. Feels a little OP.
