Děkuji vám!

Here's a nasty twist: "The amount of Faith it takes to found a Pantheon will increase with every Pantheon that has been founded on the whole map."

"The Great Admiral has the ability to instantly repair every naval and embarked unit in the same hex, as well as in adjacent hexes. The Great Admiral is consumed when performing this action. The Great Admiral also provides a 15% combat bonus to all player-owned naval units within 2 tiles. The Great Admiral is NOT consumed when he provides this bonus."

Copper gives 2 gold without improvement?

 

[Raiki]

Ugh. I just found the note about the increased faith per pantheon founded. That could make things annoying if a few AIs manage to found them before you.

Espionage screen, what's Cardiff producing?

Amphitheater.

porcelain icon at right (over the minimap)?

 

[Pouakai]

Aha. There's a lot more screenies on the site. One confirms GAd do not have tile improvements. It can instantly repair every naval and embarked unit in a radius (Consumed) or provide a static bonus (Not consumed)

Onepurpose: I'm not sure if it's just me or not, but I'm not seeing anything under that spoiler tag.

And yes, it's the icon for Porcelain

Pacal... don't say that to Gucumatz, or you'll fulfill your own prophecy.

I suppose these screenshots are pretty indicative that Great People can't be used to trigger Golden Ages anymore. Unless that would be scenario-exclusive.

 

[Huaojozu]

As a native czech speaker I can tell you that the article is written in a very, VERY casual tone. It sounds like it was written by a 15 year old using all sorts of "funny" and "cool" phrases. I just skimmed through since I couldn't bring myself to read it all as the style is really not my cup of tea.

That being said, it doesn't bring anything new (apart from the screenshots). It praises the espionage system and disses the religion as being just another resource similar to culture but nothing that wasn't already said.

 

[TheMarshmallowBear]

If starting Golden Ages is going to be removed in ALL of the Great People then Artists are going to become very quickly useless, their current ability is bad enough since it's only useful for stealing OTHER territory, and building Monutements, yea, I don't wanna remove my Farm for a Monuement.

"I have an apocalypse to prepare for"

Really? They're really playing up the 2012 end of the world thing aren't they?

Kind of humourous though.

Copper resource on the screenshot with salt. Is copper a strategic resource???

Nope, there's no way it's a strategic resource since it has NEVER appeared on the main panel, it is more likely a bonus production resource like Stone.

Ok that works. Thanks

It has a bonus of 2 gold. A Mine will add the usual production bonus.

There's another new unit beside composite bowmen under construction
