Anyone knows what "1/26" means?

Looks like it is trying to tell you there are 26 notifications, which of course seems like a bug.

Did anyone already came across a new option "Allies share visibility"? Obviously you can turn off the revealing of the map when you become souzerain of a city state! Maybe old news but very neat!

I'm not sure this applies to city states, but rather to allied civs. If the option is checked, when you Declare an Alliance with another civ you get their Line of Sight. A very handy alternative to Civ IV-style map trading.

It was especially funny when I allied with Indonesia, who had the Explorer secondary agenda, and she got a little angry at me for exploring too much when I allied with her and saw all her ships' hard work for free!

I think the idea is that the reason city states now reveal the map, is they simply made them 'allies' on suzerainship. I don't know if that's been verified though - i.e. do trade routes to a city-state you are suzerain of now get a boost from that +2 food/prod on trade routes to allies card?

Until about 5 minutes ago I was under the impression the Varu was not a unique standalone unit, rather it replaced the horseman. However since it appears I can build both a Horseman and a Varu, it seems this is either no longer the case or I was initially mistaken. Strange that the wiki still states that the Varu replaces the Horseman though.

I feel like making the Varu a unique standalone falls under the undocumented change category ?

It has always been that way.

Just noticed. Accidently settled on just revealed niter. The niter disappeared. I did not get it added to my resources, when hovering over the city, the Niter was not listed.

Well that's weird, how did my post appear above in the wrong thread. I could have swore I made that above post in the correct thread. I'll have to fix this... The above post will be deleted.

In case it hasn’t already been mentioned, previously if I had a unit within another’s territory (with open borders), and that city was conquered by another civ, my unit would be stuck in place unable to move, even if an adjacent hex was outside the borders.

Today the same situation occurred but I WAS able to leave, though it was adjacent to the border. And there was much rejoicing!
