What happens to all your units and commanders when you transition age?
You can keep some units that are teleported back to your cities. One streamer said he could keep 6 units. Maybe that's the amount of cities he had (he had 12 settlements total). He said you can also keep units that are attached to commanders, but that, as commanders are expensive, this is also a soft cap of 8-12 units.What happens to all your units and commanders when you transition age?
They are immortal. Even if you lose one in battle, they just go to sleep for a few turns.As for the commanders themselves, you keep them with all their promotions from what i understood
I heard that too, but I have yet to see any evidence of it in these playthroughs.They are immortal. Even if you lose one in battle, they just go to sleep for a few turns.
As often this is good and bad at the same time.In Civ 6, Units were important and must be maintained - because they have promotions. The promotions were important in two side: they made huge differences in the military power, and they were hard to get.
Now the commanders is the only unit which have promotions. This change any other unit into just replaceable consumables. So loosing unit is not a critical loss anymore. You just need enough yields to rearmament.
It recalls me a memory of Civ 5. Once you completed the Brandenburg Gate, the City with the wonder can train level 3 units immediately. You can recruit any well-trained unit anytime, so you don't have to concern about loosing high level units after that time because you can always replace them.
Which I think is completely good when matched with the nongeneric immortal commanders wth their unique promotions (their immortality may still require production investment for recovery)As often this is good and bad at the same time.
While that obviously lowers the value of individual units and makes every unit more generic, it also allows a civilization that just lost a battle to recover and not necessarily loose the war, or even the game just for one single battle.
I've seen a Civilopedia screen about age transition in one of yesterday videos.What happens to all your units and commanders when you transition age?

It also seems like unit loss and city->town are both fully instantly reversible with the spending of gold (buy units/upgrade cities) which carries over in transition (with the option of production for the units)
6 when transition to exploration, 9 to modern. Map sizes weren't mentioned and I believe, if they don't affect city cap, they shouldn't affect those numbers as well.I've seen a Civilopedia screen about age transition in one of yesterday videos.
You keep :
* 6 units, moved to settlements (9 in some circumstances but I don't remember which ones - age, speed, map size ?)
* commanders with the units packed inside
A dark age is a time period about which we have little sources. And these are still plenty, so the idea of dark ages shouldn‘t be discarded. And the Europe of 400-800 don‘t qualify anymore for this.The whole idea of THE "Dark Ages" or dark ages in general should have already been discarded much in the same way the idea of "barbarians" was. It no longer makes sense based on our real-life historical, societal and anthropological knowledge.
Can I ask how this has changed? My knowledge of history is not advanced so I never knew the Dark Ages had had a light shone on them so to speak.And the Europe of 400-800 don‘t qualify anymore for this.
The idea that this time frame (and up to 1300) is a dark age came from Petrarca in the 14th century. A lot has changed since then. There is the archeological evidence unearthed in the past 200-300 years, plus that artifacts from daily life are now regarded as important sources. But also texts from or about that period that have been reevaluated. Petrarca‘s stance was that antiquity and his own time were „light“ and everything between „dark“. This caught on very well for a long time and has shaped our views of history for a long time.Can I ask how this has changed?

Did they find new archaeological evidence?
