Little questions & answers thread

[Suicidekills]

but what about Military buildings(since they give production)? Bridges (since they are gold buildings), etc.

If it specifically says Production Buildings, then I don't believe Military buildings count. There's a tech mastery that adds production to Military Buildings. So whatever the building is labeled as, that's what it is. Some buildings are labeled as two different kinds as well. I would assume they could take advantage of the effects for both building types.

It obviously affects things like Banks, Laboratories, and Factories
and not
Unique buildings

Is that true? If the UB is labeled as a Gold Building, I assumed the UB would also receive the benefits from any effects to Gold Buildings.

Well it says "standard" gold buildings... so I assumed UBs wouldn't be standard

When adding or removing additional AI players in the Advanced Options > Player screen, is there a way to pick whether they spawn in the old or new world?

What do you mean by "old or new world"?

What do you mean by "old or new world"?

He means "Homelands" and "Distant Lands"

 

[Boris Gudenuf]

He means "Homelands" and "Distant Lands"

The first Civs picked at the top of the list spawn in the Homeland, On Standard-sized maps the first 5 are Homeland spawns, the last 3 are Distant Lands. That means if you only pick 8 Civs, only 2 of them will spawn in Distant Lands. Picking only 5 Civs will guarantee a Distant Lands filled only with IPs.

With the new larger maps I have only been playing Pangaea Maps so far, so cannot tell what numbers work the same way for them. I would suspect 6 of 10 in Homeland and the last 4 in Distant Lands, but have not actually experimented to see what is true.

Not sure what key I pushed, but I have a blue background/white text bar at the bottom of my screen.
Seems to be a debug command line of some kind: Move Debug Output

How do I make it go away? Minor annoyance

Try either the Tilde or Apostrophe key.

Is there a way to tell what kind of city state an independent power will become? If it's there, I'm just not seeing it. I'm just curious which ones are scientific, cutlural, etc.

Names are colour-coded I believe, they have a symbol in the banner, and when you click on them here is a huge flag behind the people standing there that depicts their affinity.

On this screenshot you can immediately see the blue and the beaker (science).

On this screenshot I see both a red (Cathness, red = militaristic) and a yellow (Anuradhapura, yellow = economic)

Hi, is there a way for the screen to automatically zoom to + select your next unit to be moved? Currently I need to click a button first and I'm not sure if that is normal?

You can hit the next unit/next turn button on PC which defaults to E.

I'm really curious how your game is set up because mine autoselects the next unit and zooms to it no matter what options I select. Drives me crazy.

Really? Okay, I'm probably doing something wrong in the settings. I'll check it out. Thanks for the info haha

Hi,
silly question, I can't remember the exact meaning of the feather in the icons!
Thanks

It means that the policy card is a "Tradition" to your culture or from one of your preceding cultures.

Also, for certain items, such as commanders, they can be renamed. The feather quill represents you entering text.

With the Legatus ability that allows them to create new settlements every 3 promotions, do those promotions have to be from the same promotion tree or can they be spread across multiple trees?

Any

'Your abilities do not benefit from settling in this biome' when looking at locations for settling cities.

genuinely never noticed it saying this before, playing as Trunc Trac and Rome. what does it mean? sorry if im being thick.


and a wee moan, its great that legatus gives a free city every 3 promotions, but I wish I could see the recommendations for where to settle, like you get with a settler.

You could always use settler lense. I think it would not be great if a military unit would enable ut by default.
