22. Lautaro - Swift Hawk 8=11-3 If you manage to reduce loyalty to 0 you already captured that city, if you don't reduce it to 0 it either soon recovers to 100, or it doesn't recover, in which case it will also become independent without your loyalty reduction.

22. Lautaro - Swift Hawk [8]
23. Mansa Musa - Sahel Merchants 21
24. Matthias Corvinus - Raven King [24] 23+1 proper use of city states. Cheap levies, bonus strenght and getting free envoys without the need of sending envoys, pumping their numbers to the pont no AI, even Greeks with Apadana, would still suzerein status from you. The best part of hungarian set, moving them to absolutely the best civs tier.

38. Shaka - Amabutho [20]
39. Tamar - Glory to the World, Kingdom, and Faith [18] 21-3 Inproper use of city states. If somehow there is a chance to declare protectorat war, you get a fantastic +100% faith for 10 turns. Why to give Georgia useless Persian +2mov, Chandy's +mov/+str, Gilgamesh no greviances, totally useless bonus production of Bruce on specific casus belli or totally garbage +100% production after liberation Curtin has. Because the rest of Georgia set is ultimately weak, let us give Tamar ability that kills all other abilities! let us give her +100% faith for 10 turns after most commonly used casus belli!
Bonus envoy requires to have the same majority religion and if you manage envoys by city state religion, domething is wrong with your gameplay.
OK developers. Wake up. It is time to change Georgian joke abilities/uniques to something useful. Nation with such a great history, culture and tradition clearly deserves it! And after complete Georgian rebuild take care of Khmer too.

[Pure24]

1. Alexander - To The World's End [22] 21 + 1. The mother of all warmonger bonuses. This basically means endless war without worrying about the consequences; if you're going domination you're going to accumulate Grievances anyways, so that isn't really a concern either. Oh, and technically the unique unit (Hetairoi) is part of his ability. Nice
2. Amanitore - Kandake of Meroe [20]
3. Catherine - Catherine's Flying Squadron [21]
4. Chandragupta - Arthashastra [23]

16. Hojo Tokimune - Divine Wind [21]
17. Jadwiga - Lithuanian Union [20]
18. Jayavarman - Monasteries of the King [8] 11 - 3. Building Holy Sites by a river may conflict with the bonus faith of building it next to mountains/Natural Wonders. The culture bomb is good, but Holy Sites aren't really districts you build everywhere

29. Pericles - Surrounded by Glory [21]
31. Philip II - El Escorial [17] (20 - 3) The combat bonus discourages you from spreading your religion to other civs. And I rarely ever need to use Inquisitors anyway.

18. Jayavarman - Monasteries of the King [5] (8-3) My least favourite ability on my least favourite civ. Yawn.
19. John Curtin - Citadel of Civilization [20]
20. Kristina - Minerva of the North [23] (22+1) A very nice way to maximize your great works.

[Architect]

1. Alexander - To The World's End [22]
2. Amanitore - Kandake of Meroe [17] (20 - 3) 20% production to districts is ok but its the nubian pyramid placement rules that makes this ability terrible. Remove the restriction to only desert and make it flat lands except tundra and snow and then you would have a nice synergy.
3. Catherine - Catherine's Flying Squadron [21]
4. Chandragupta - Arthashastra [23]
5. Cleopatra - Mediterranean's Bride [17]
6. Cyrus - Fall of Babylon [20]
7. Dido - Founder of Carthage [20]
8. Eleanor of Aquitaine - Court of Love [19]
9. Frederick Barbarossa - Holy Roman Empire [17]

1. Alexander - To The World's End [22]
2. Amanitore - Kandake of Meroe [17] (20 - 3) 20% production to districts is ok but its the nubian pyramid placement rules that makes this ability terrible. Remove the restriction to only desert and make it flat lands except tundra and snow and then you would have a nice synergy.

42. Trajan - Trajan's Column [19] there are still some abilities in here that do almost nothing. This here doing something early gives it some staying rights.
43. Victoria - Pax Britannica [22] 21+1, a free navy is nothing to scoff at. It is a really map dependent ability so i dont see it surviving long but it really frees up your production queue for more important stuff. Also harald will love you. The free melee unit is rarley used.a

Auto theming is a nice bonus that also greatly simplifies the cultural micromanagement. And Kristina comes back, with buffed British Museum, extended for the rest of great works of art, and bringing a nice unique building, too. It may not be the strongest and most universal ability, but I do greatly enjoy it.

Tundra tiles are terrible even if you can build farms on them, and this ability makes them barely sustainable if and only if they have resources on them, and then really only for camps. A 1 food 3 production tundra hill or tundra lumber mill (or worse a 3 production 0 food snow hill) makes for a stagnant city. Seems good only to the uninitiated.
