Any specialization should work. Don't choose Urban Center unless the town is former city (either conquered or downgraded on age transition), it's pointless. Choose Farming/Fishing by default if your goal is to feed cities as you'll produce more food. But you could consider other specializations (for example, hub town is really cool if it's well connected with a lot of your settlements) depending on what you actually need and what the town has.
Wait, you can build one of Spain's unique buildings in towns? Were you playing with Augustus as leader by any chance?
"Ageless" warehouse buildings lose their warehouse bonuses after the age in which they're built, at least according to this UI. They still trigger a variety of other special effects that specify bonuses to warehouse buildings, which is probably where the second +1 food is coming from.
Oh yes, lol. Sorry!
The UI (yeilds preview) does not take the warehouse bonus of previous ages warehouse buildings into account, but they are applied once build.
No. The resource slots are bonus effects, while the influence is a secondary base yield (these buildings are Culture/Happiness AND Diplomacy Buildings).
It does in the original age, but not in subsequent ages.
This is news to me! I'd assumed that Augustus could only buy the generic culture building set in towns, so this changes things.
I'm pretty sure I've checked before and after building them, and that it was taken into account.
The funny thing with Augustus and the UI is, that, for some reason, it sometimes shows all the unique culture buildings of the era, not just the one that belong to the civ you are playing as. They are greyed out though, in a similar way as if you had no suitable tile.
I remember checking in my previous game too, they definitely still provide the bonuses in later eras.
Username checks out.
Weird. I probably get Barbarian Crisis most often.
Good to hear, hopefully it will come up soon.
I've got a really strong feeling that what crisis comes up depends on how you've been playing - I always seem to get barbarians on the militaristic-heavy ones and happiness when I'm struggling with that.
