Nice! Do you mind explaining: "Garrisons and other defensive buildings give defense bonuses to all nations not at war with you" -- why would you need a defense bonus against a nation who isn't at war with you / cannot attack you?

 

[Anno]

I read it more as “nations you aren’t at war with can use your defensive buildings”. So like in a team game your ally could make use of it. Idk might be misreading it.

 

[PiR]

Same here.
Routing losing 5% seems fair, but I often mouse over tiles to simulate how much damage I would do to an enemy unit before really moving into position. With the 5% lost, that prediction becomes harder.

since this patch, has anyone seen their city icon and name disappear from the main screen? you can still click on it to bring up the city menu, but the designation itself vanishes....
