Free Speech (Freedom) question

[erhaminus]

Does this policy (8 units maintanance free) consider also garrisoned units while I have already picked up Oligarchy (Garrisoned untis cost no maintainace) or only non-garrisoned ones?

I asked this question on the civ V official forum and was told that the eight units do not include the free garrisoned units. So if you have 4 garrisoned units, and 8 other units, you will have 12 free units. I have not tested this myself, though.

This is true

Thank you.

This is just one of the reasons why the Freedom policy tree is one of the most powerful SP trees in the game. The 8 free units can do wonders for your cash flow, plus the Freedom finisher gives you 50% longer GAs + 100% from settled GP tiles. About the only GPs I settle until really late game are artists, so the 12 from each of these does wonders to the production when multiplied by The Hermitage & Sydney Opera House. After the last desirable wonder (The Pentagon and/or Sydney) is built, then I settle engineers as well, for 10 per tile.
