Civ V Expansion

[Howard Mahler]

A new thread to mention interesting ideas from Gods & Kings that might have a place in HR or at least inspire something.
It may turn out that there is nothing of use, but doesn't hurt to give it a look.

"Great Prophets eliminate other religions when used as Missionaries."

Being able to use Great Prophets as missionaries is interesting.
Usually a Great Person is worth a lot more than a Missionary, so there has to be something more than just substituting for a Missionary.
Having the Great Prophet not be used up is too strong.
I don't think the above is strong enough for me to use a Great Prophet in this way except in rare special circumstances.

Nevertheless, perhaps this can inspire something for HR.

Truffles (boars/pigs on map) - Luxury Resource - Improved with Camps

Not something I would add.

Alhambra confirmed.

Petra unlocked by Currency. Machu Picchu and Treasury not unlocked by Currency.

Neuschwantein gives you +3 Gold , +2 Culture and +1 Happiness for every castle

Stonehenge produces 5 faith per turn rather than 6 culture per turn.

Himeji Castle not under Bushi^H^H^H^H^H Chivalry. (Seriously, Himezi Shiro would be much nicer.)

Education no longer unlocks Porcelain Tower.
