impact to standard Civ 4 balance in process. With this mod railroads once again bring
increased trade and production without debalancing the game, jungles and forests will
take more time to chop down, sending units over oceans earlier is possible (in case of
isolated island starting locations), resources are more critical, tech trading is allowed earlier,
tech tree has also seen some changes to make theology and divine right more intresting and
so on...
