Actually it's true that when building workers and settlers it always takes the home nationality before others. In order not to get free slave workers.
Interesting Screenshots
- Thread starter kill fire
- Start date
Judging from the Men-O-War in your screenshot, they had the EXACT same color as their English neighbors. It's a bug that occasionaly happens in large maps.
If that happens again, turn "Color Blind" on in the Preferences, and each city will be labeled with its civ name.
EDIT: And BTW, why is there a Cossack in Byblos in that screenshot?
And why does it look Dutch when only the Russians can build them?

What's wrong with this picture?

The citizen is Persian. You've noticed the Palace...
- Rome is not the capital. You re-captured it from the persians.
- the river north of Rome looks strange. Where's it going?
- you haven't hooked up the gems! Oh humanity

Yeah, I had to recapture Rome from the Persians. I was a little surprised that my citizen had become Persian in the seven-or-so turns before I could take it back.
I was also upset that during the IT when I co-ordinated my three reg warriors to take it back, the persians managed to build a spear; but I killed their spear and warrior without loss and with two promotions.
The gems may have to wait a little before I can spare worker turns; there's spices just out of the picture to the south, though.
On the plus side, this is a Huge Monarch game that I want to win by 20k, so now I will have a Palace prebuild available in Rome.
And fingers crossed for an early leader vs. Xerxes.
edit: I'll have to investigate whether the mountain N-N of Rome is on a river? Looks not to be.

Huge map and monarch level? What caused Persia to go to war with you that early in the game in the first place? I think thats maybe the biggest surprise.

Well, 16 civs so they're not miles away, and my warriors were all exploring when the Persian warrior crossed my borders.
I play a lot of games for HoF (thus abandoning many starts in the early stages) and I see very early declarations every now and then.
Thinking about it now, I was stupid not to have bought Masonry or Bronze Working for GPT once I saw the declaration coming (dunno if I could've afforded it really).

it was yours for 28 turns (see the 28 culture points)... so why was it persian indeed.
N-N? 2 tiles north? no it has no fresh water - it is a mountain.

It was mine for 24 turns, built in 3950 BC and captured in 2750 BC (culture doubled at 2950 BC presumably). But I think that the chance of cultural assimilation is random, but somewhat unlikely.
edit: long crosspost, I got distracted.
edit2: and to add insult to injury, the Persian guy resisted for three turns.

Also, how did you get the culture expansion with no cultural buildings?
The Palace used to be there.
The Persian guy resisted? Perhaps They joined a worker to the city or something and killed the Roman dude- why else would they actually be mad at you for recapturing your own capital city?

Right, but I'm assuming it was the initial capital, then sacked, then taken back.
When it was initially sacked, all culture buildings get destroyed (the palace moves to the next biggest city) and you start back with a 3X3 radius.
Same thing when the city is taken back, whatever was done culturally is destroyed and you start with a 3X3 radius, so to get a cultural bump in radius size, you need to build a temple or library or something. This city currently has nothing and is building a barracks - which won't help culture.

When you retake a city that had culture when you lost it, you get the culture back (I'm 99% sure on this).

I took this image of a tile that I could not bomb. I was bombing Berlin when I noticed the stack right next door but I was not allowed to bomb them.
Well it seems that whole game is toasted anyway but I wondered if anyone else has hit something like this in a game that is working.
