My thoughts:
Opener looks good. There's a lot of stuff packed in but it's not op.
I say drop the 10% when adjacent and just make it straight up 10%. Removes any ai concerns...this becomes the one solid war bump we give the tree.
I like gold for kills instead of science, i think it scales better.
The 25% settler bonus is a take it or leave it for me. I think the policy is fine without it, but not op with it.
I'm not a fan of having a policy that is just for occupied cities...but I can be persuaded.
Right now I'm envisioning this opener which is generally good for anybody (barbs got to die no matter your style)
Then down one side we have policies for peaceful expansion like imperialism.
Down the other we have the policies for puppets and occupied cities for people would are going for hard conquest.
In the middle we have some general war bonuses...with some happiness component that doesn't require conquest (probably a straight up reduction to unrest)
I like the finisher either with capitals only or all cities...I can work it either way. It would be nice to have something for non conquerors here...but Italy be okay to sy that if you are this dedicated to honor you have committed to a war strategy
