First, let me say "Thank you, thank you, thank you" for this awesome mod. I bought a new computer a few years ago, just to upgrade my system to be able to play. It is by far my favorite mod.
I just completed my first (successful) V41 game. I played at Monarch level, using C2C_World map generator, eternity timescale, gigantic world size. I encountered a few surprising situations:
1. I conquered Aachen from the Holy Roman Empire, and it had no C.L.! I backtracked to a previous saved version, conquered the city again, and it did have a C.L.! I assume that, because C.L.s are treated as buildings, they are sometimes lost when a city is conquered. It doesn't sound like this was the intention with the new culture system - does this count as a bug?
2. I was on a continent with llamas and elephants, but no wild llamas or elephants ever appeared. Is this a bug?
3. All 15 rival civilizations started out on the same continent with me. I would have expected some to be on other landmasses.
4. When Egypt emerged as a minor civilization, it had no C.L. in any of its cities. Is this intended? It never evolved to "full" civilization status.
5. By checking the World Builder, I found 2 barbarian cities that had reached size 4, but not yet emerged as minor civs - I would have expected them to be minor civs after reaching size 3. Is forming a minor civ less than a certainty, once reaching the required size?
6. When checking the victory conditions, the score said that I had "no" rival civilizations after I had conquered the original 15, but I still had the Egyptian minor civ active, and conquest victory didn't kick in. I would have thought that minor civs would show up in the count of remaining rivals.
Again, thank you to the whole C2C team for your years of awesome work!
