It appears that "Lux In Tenebris" is a motto for several universities around the world and indeed means "Light in Darkness".
It's "Tenebris" instead of "Tenebras" because it makes more sense to use "in + ablative" instead of "in + accusative" in this sentence, I guess.
It's reversed because you can do that in Latin and because, I think, Ahwaric thought it sounded better. And it sounds better

Meh. I prefer 'In Darkness, Light'. Mostly because I think it fits the dark fantasy feel better.

It would be interesting, if there would be some disadvantages when player has hated civics of leader he is playing for ... and some advantages when player has favorite civics ...

"Tenebra" doesn't make any sense, as darkness is a first declension feminine word that lacks any singular form and is always plural. Plus, using the nominative with in makes no sense. It would have to be either in Tenebris ("in darkness") or in Tenebras ("into the darkness"). Saying that a light shines either in or into the darkness makes sense, but saying that a light simply exists into the darkness does not.

I did.
Won't say anything else on that topic 
It is a hidden message
Orbis is orb and world - a round world, compared to standard FfH flat one.
I have expanded Orbis tech tree more into renaissance, so people there know more of the world and probably made some discoveries proving the world is not flat.

The light here refers to human mind, knowledge and wisdom. Both from renaissance expansion... and Mechanos.
Also, you know Erebus means darkness? (there was a Greek god by that name, son of Chaos, and a personification of darkness and shadow)
To be precise:
Round world (aka the world is round!) - In darkness light

There is some debate as to whether the Latin term Orbis Terrarum (which was often shortened to just Orbis, as it is common in Latin to omit words that can be inferred) , i.e. "circle of lands," refers to the earth as a globe or just to lands encircling the Mediterranean Sea, which comprised most of the known worlds to the Romans. My first Latin textbooks argued the latter. I tend to think that it may have started that way, but since the world was almost universally accepted to be round by the height of the empire it been meant the former for longer. Other words that more clearly mean sphere are occasionally used too.

Ah. I did not know that. (Why must Latin have so many weird things like that? <_<)
Rest of it does make sense, it just sounds a bit weird to me to flip the order. It is possible, though.

question: when was Grigori medic nerfed ? It was cool unit with mithril weapons and Tier2+3 religious spell capability, actually, that was only reason why I played for Grigori (along with Knightly-order-+2str-promotion-for-mounted-units) ...

Ahwaric, have you seen this? JCultureControl. Seems like a better way to do the forts than using commanders, at least in that there is no python loop.

Crime Rate should increases the chance of success of a Spy Mission.
Crime Rate really should increase maintenance of the city. You should think twice before doing something increasing it and you should want to decrease it.
Of course, there should be some ways to benefit from crime rate. Like Council of Esus.

Just a little thing -- can we make the guardian vines that sometimes come out of Lairs as 'pack leaders' a little more dangerous? When you pop them from a Lair, they just sit there, right? OK, sometimes they may appear in an inconvenient location, but most of the time you can just go around them. Maybe they could shoot poison like the Goblin archers.
(Hmmm. I wonder if I can capture one with Domination or Subdue Beast.)
