To Unser:
Your comments seem to be mostly about flavor. I don't really see a problem with it, because I see the civ bonuses as natural, cultural adaptations to the environment that that civs has been associated with, in this age or in ages past. Elves have been reverent towards forrests in the past, leading them to be able to build in them; but if their ideology changes, that doesn't mean that they will discount the bonuses they got, though natural means, by building in forrests.
Lanun know how to build better ships well; this doesn't necessarily have a thing to do with the Octopus overlords. If they adopt that creed, they can retain their shipbuilding knowledge and get the ability to summon big squids as well, but if they follow, say, the order, they still remember how to build better boats, etc.
That's my take, anyway.
