makes sense, it happened all the time I tried to open a big continent map, on a standard continent map it worked suddenly.
Yes be careful, as you can find yourself quickly in serious unhappiness if you expand too quickly and don't improve your infrastructure (tiles, buildings).
IMHO - I think this should be looked at - it defeats any benefit of having WLTKD as a reward or benefit. Yes I did not like the old system when it would show luxuries that were not available in the game- that was bad- but that did not happen frequently or at least not until late game-- or when the resource was on the other side of world with a CS-that was also challenging - but I would look for ways to get the WLTKD to initiate- like through buildings, GM , allying a CS., or events so it would reset and find another luxury I could obtain- the way it has been now we might as well give 25% perpetual growth to all cities- I do have some cities that have a hard to get resource but it just doesn't matter as all my other cities are continually in WLTKD. I know this has probably already been vetted and voted on and I realize it is minor but in my mind it takes some of strategy or tactics away and makes another already limited reward irrelevant.
There was a big problem before : the arguably best strategy was to get as few luxury as necessary, to ensure you get WLTKD quest that were overall easier to obtain. You would then buy a luxury you previously refused because it proc now the bonus. This was considered a gamey strategy ; getting as much luxury as possible was actually detrimental ; it was thus changed is a way that reward someone who get a lot of luxuries.
Small correction : "WLTKD is currently unobtainable by other mean than conquest".
Ok - I agree that is gamey and I'm no fan of that- but at least there was a bit of a sacrifice or price to be paid albeit small - as you did not get the happiness from the luxury right away, so no GAP or additional % happiness growth modifier and depending on overall happiness, it might hurt you there as well-- and what if it didn't proc for a while. The flip side is you make WLTKD irrelevant because your constantly getting them and there is no price to pay as you just get as many luxuries as you can, as soon as you can as you typically would anyways.
You installed the EUI in the wrong folder. Check your Civ V installation.
Both Circus and great merchant gets around rare WLKDs.
This is true if you have all the luxury resources. Then constant WLTKD is a reward for that. In general, the more luxury resources you have, the higher there is a chance that you would get WLTDK.
There is, you have to aquire them in the first place. Either by trade, settling, conquest or by allying with a CS. If you think that some ways are too easy to get a luxury then we can talk about it and maybe tweak it.
Nevermind, i realized my mistake a short while after the original post, thank you regardless.
Ok- I might have been a little premature with my judgement of the new process (sorry). As I ran into a situation that multiple cites started requesting coral- and only two CS had it and there was not way to really get to them so I realized the frustration I had with original system -- plus I still had some of the tactics that I liked as I had to get a GM to pop. So maybe this new way is better it just took me a bit to get use to constantly spamming WLKD notices- and maybe there is still some utility for the GM or other WLKD proc. -You are right as well as there is a price as you still have to acquire the luxury (although you typically would do that any way- but maybe not)
, Maize and Rice farms have -1, actually reducing food output, and +1

respectively. They must be pretty bad farmers.
). Given that, how much of the AI improvements/changes are actually relevant to the non-VP patch-side? Is it still worth keeping up with all of the latest updates if I'm going to continue in my heresy of just using the patch without the rest of VP?
