Little questions & answers thread

Can someone explain why this is happening?

I have the Zeal promotion which is supposed to add 5% yields in a Settlement when stationed in a District.

Here are the yields when my commander is outside of a district

Here are the yields when it’s stationed inside one. No change.

I believe it was working earlier before I got the second promotion, but that shouldn’t cancel it, right?
 
So... looking at my achievements, I have to play the different personas which I do not have. Is there any way to get the personas without buying the dlc?
 
I think Firaxis is joking with essentially day 1 dlc. I refuse on principle. Not all of us gamers are rich Firaxis. The DLC is overpriced and you know it. It would be nice to get the achievements, but I suppose they will have to wait.

I don't disagree at all. I just find the notion that Firaxis would give the DLC civs away for free to be amusing.

The DLC will not always be overpriced... but it will always cost something. You might be able to wait until they bundle All the DLC (probably including an expansion or 2 and 20+civs and 10+Leader/persona) for say 60-90$ in 2030 sometime

The absurd part is that they refuse to add achievements for any DLC since then.

what's the deal with specialists? what makes people choose a specialist over another tile or vice versa?
At some point every city is being supplied with food from towns, and has enough production and happiness to focus on other aspects. Specialists essentially turn food and happiness into something else. If you have current age quarters with strong adjacency bonuses, a since specialist could give you 8-10 yields of (whatever). It's similar to previous Civ games. You feed and house the specialists, and they give you yields that a normal worker cannot.

As for when I would choose a specialist: if I have sufficient local happiness (say +4 or more, depending on if I expect to lose happiness due to war or overpopulation), and the rural districts are not amazing, I would rather have the specialist. Civ 7 feels just like the old games... if you can support the specialist, you should have the specialist.

Agree with @StargazingDog , and would add

You can't add specialists to towns. As towns grow by adding tiles, they generate more food to send to the cities.

In your cities, you will want to emphasize production. Add a woodcutter or mine, rather than a farm. Sometimes, adding a farm to a city makes it possible to grow onto a resource next time -- that's usually good. Specialists help amplify the buildings you have, increasing their yields. Using specialists in the Exploration Age is important to achieve the high yields for the Science legacy path. You may or may not assign many specialists in Antiquity.

My guess is that its better to buy the DLC later because I hardly even use it as often as I should having the whole thing bought at full price. I should've waited.
 
sorry daft question re treasure fleets, my first one has just popped up. do I just sail it to anywhere on my first continent? does it matter which city I send it to?
 
Maybe I have been misunderstanding momentos but I just started a game with Tubman for the first time and I keep getting migrants everytime I am not discovered doing espionage. This isn't listed in her abilities but I do see it listed as a level 2 unlock which I don't have. What am I missing?

a bug
 
On my last game as Frederich I was getting double yields when I was pillaging as well but couldn't figure out why...is that something related to a bug too?
Well there are some Civs, Wonders, Traditions that boost pillaging... but it could be a bug.
 
How do I build a highland power station with a sherpa? I place it on an empty mountain near one of my cities, but the icon is greyed out, and the tooltip says something like "requires an unimproved/ unoccupied mountain...".
EDIT: I think I have found it, the mountain needs to be outside my territory, not inside.

Correct. unowned mountain which makes it quite silly.
