Possible bug:
I modded DyP so that the no one could build settler units and leader could build cities. However, my problem did not come from my mods. Let me explain the situation:
I am isolated on an island with the Zulu (I am China). We both have one city and do not have contact with anyone other than each other. My city grows to size 8 (I have an inland lake on my border) and I am working a gold tile, a silk tile and an Iron tile on a tiny map. All the rest of the tiles worked have a road. I am playing on Warlord level. I have built the Colossus. Both governments types are Despotism. My Sci slider is set to 60% (the higest allowable for this government) and neither of us have discovered Lit. Shaka only has a size 7 city and only two fur tiles to give extra commerce.
I cannot compete with him in the research department. We had had two wars already and each time he gives me 2 techs and money for peace. He is continually a head of me in the tech department. I have at least 9 more units of commerce per turn than him (more like 12 or 13 with the gold, silk and inland lake). Why can't I keep up? Does the AI get a research bonus at this level? I don't believe they do. This is where my suposed bug comes in. I think that the AI is not limited by the slider restrictions based on government types. Has this come up before?
