I could be wrong... it's been a while.No, they weren't. I don't see a single building that would give(except via trade routes) :

The Bank gives +%, as expected.
Yes. Strength is multiplicative by ranks.
By "normal" I do not mean "is it working properly ?", but "is it a good design?".
/turn, and/or give +%/turn, and/or give a one-time boost, same or bigger the normal in-city animal "sacrifice" (if same - then to parallel what happens when subduing vs killing animals for 
).Yes, but also "No Tech Handicaps for Humans" ON !
I mean that the descriptions for the three Ranks (Size, Group Volume, and Combat Quality) in the 'Pedia seem to suggest that these do NOT affect Strength - and that effect doesn't seem to be listed anywhere, not even in the merging/splitting promotions - did I miss it somewhere ?
I break it down in full in the Size Matters player's guide. Each rank shift up multiplies the current strength by I think 1.5 and each shift down the opposite. So when you add +1 strength, you actually could be adding a lot more or less depending on if you are above or below average rank count (15 - though that's unit specific instead in Uncut.)
Ranged attacks are basically one round of combat so while it may give you more granular likelihoods of hitting and therefore be a little better as split units, the damage is highly reduced when striking. Bombard may still need a bit of work to reduce the bombard properly as it gets reduced.
This an "eye of the beholder" statement. And the only beholder that is complaining and has complained is you. So.....you want the Team to change our design to fit your narrative? That is what you seem to be saying.
If you are playing on a space map then animals don't work right. The Spawn file needs to be completely rewritten for each space map so that it correctly spawns the animals for that map.By "normal" I do not mean "is it working properly ?", but "is it a good design?".
For instance, animal myths could be completely removed, or not give any +

(Then of course if you pay attention you see that the Strength went up/down when merging/splitting...)
Curious which changes you're pointing to?
Mostly to do with the changes to the tech tree and the addition of some buildings. I am thinking that the Story buildings, which was available with Writing should be moved to Sedentary Lifestyle and the Myths should move from
to :education: at that point.
Which also breaks things because it removes all restrictions meaning that you get all the unique animals from all regions rather than the more normal one or two regions. Potentialy tripling your research.
I'm not saying I disagree but I'm not quite sure why. We're supposed to see a massive reduction in research at writing rather than Sed Lif aren't we? Since there's a tradeoff in method of obtaining research at that stage anyhow.Mostly to do with the changes to the tech tree and the addition of some buildings.

Admittedly I'm not quite certain what you're trying to say, but there isn't a salt mine improvement in the game right now (there is a salt *gatherer*, but that's in the prehistoric era, which improves into a quarry with masonry).
I'm going to look into this now (and hopefully learn the AI unit mission system better in the process), if you or anyone has example save file that is demonstrating the behaviour shown in those screenshots that would be very useful. I can try repro it via world editor changes, but it might be a confluence of various factors.
I think it means mother or god.
