Educated Elite and Khans

[MantaRevan]

Does anyone think that's it's a glitch that non-Mongolian civilizations can get Khans through educated elite? If not, why?

I'm not sure if I would classify it as a glitch, or just an overlooked detail. But yeah, either way it's kind of silly and should be fixed. It's not really a big deal...but then again, it should be an easy fix. There's no reason not to.

No, its not.
Every UU in the game can be gained through a militaristic city-state.
I've seen Greek Bowmen and Arab slingers.

In a bit more than 500 hours of playing Civ 5 and filling the Patronage tree in every game, I have been gifted a Khan exactly once. That's not a complaint, just an observation.

One of the devs confirmed that this is intentional and not a bug .

Actually, that doesnt really bother me. It's weird, but not bothersome.
What does bother me is that a khan remains on horseback even past the industrial age and is somehow able to keep up with modern armor.

 

[thadian]

it only bothers me when my khan appears halfway across the world and i can't pop it.

Just kind of weird that they're called Khans. I mean, I guess it would be redundant to call them something else if they do the same thing, but it's still weird.
