general

Aside from the obvious (being a General in combat runs a risk of injury or death) does being a General have any adverse affect on the character's health or life expectancy? When I make someone a General I generally leave them there. If the General adds XP every turn this is a good reason to...

I'm curious how others regard this and what they see as benefits and drawbacks. Myself, I think I mostly generalize my cities. Meaning, I'll tend to build the same improvements in the same order more or less as they are unlocked. I'm talking about both 'buildings' built by workers on the map...

VP is feature complete, no new (hard) coding is to be added. No more things like new units, buildings, projects, vassallages, events or corporations. Chapter closed. This means we are in the phase where we can only work with existing mechanics. Even then, a previously existing mechanic like...
