Questions about Brave New World that don't deserve their own thread.

I'm sure this has been asked, but I could not find it with the search bar so I'll ask.

What's going to happen to my current save files? I have 3 games I'm playing, 2 single player and 1 multiplayer and I doubt I'll finish them before Tuesday, so I'm wondering how the expansion will affect them.
 
Already asked, but... could someone please make a list of ALL civs that had ANY changes in BNW? ANY CHANGES! Minor, big, doesn't matter. I'd just like to know.

France - New UA, and a new UI
UA: City of Light: Great Work tourism theme bonus doubled in the Capital.
UU: Musketeer
UI: Chateau - Yield: +2 culture and +2 gold, with additional culture (+1) and gold(+2) after researching Flight. Confers a 50% defense bonus.

India - Mughal Fort gives tourism output after Flight
Arabia - (Ships of the Desert) Arabian Caravans now have 50% greater range, and Arabia spreads religion along Trade Routes at double the normal rate. Double oil still in.
Iroquois - caravans move along forests and jungles as if they were roads

If it is anything like Gods & Kings, the expansion won't affect a thing. If you try to load them, they will just revert back to G&K, and BNW will not be activated (just like how, with G&K, if you try to load a Vanilla save game, it will just deactivate G&K)

France - New UA, and a new UI
India - Mughal Fort gives tourism output
Arabia - land trade routes can go farther and double religious pressure. Double oil reserves.

That's it.

Netherlands - it's UA is now called "Dutch East India Company" (no effect change)
And I think Byzantium now has a Coastal start bias, but I'm not sure whether that's a change...
 
Iroquois get the bonus for roads for Trade from their forests and jungles as well. Might also extend to the Inca and hills?

Don't think so, since originally the Iroquois UA let connections between your own cities.

Now doubt, however, that the Inca will certainly get an indirect benefit, with very cheap roads to extend the range of your trade routes.

No, he is correct - The Iroquois did have a change:

EDIT:... I'm stupid! :lol: I thought you had said you didn't think The Iroquois had changed to have a bonus with the new Trade Routes...
I'll let this here for the hall of shame... :blush:

And, in fact, The Inca didn't get any change.
 
No, they do! You could see it in the stream a few days ago.

And btw. for such a question, it might be easier to go to the what we know thread or well of souls, practically everything listed there...
 
MadDjinn did mention that roads help to extend trade route ranges, and that a road didn't have to extend all the way to its destination in order for it to modify the distance. So the Iroquois will probably have somewhat longer trade route range because the forests within their borders act as roads, which will have a lengthening effect on trade routes, even if their borders don't extend all the way to the destination.

The Inca get maintenance-free roads on hills, so if you can find a string of hills leading in the direction of a lucrative trade partner, they could have a free road that extends their trade route range in that direction.
 
Netherlands - it's UA is now called "Dutch East India Company" (no effect change)
And I think Byzantium now has a Coastal start bias, but I'm not sure whether that's a change...

edit: That was always the name of their UA.
 
Am I the only one who always played the Dutch with the DUTCH East India Company? I'm pretty sure it was always called this way...

You're not alone. This meme has been bouncing around the forum for a while now. Clearly someone, at some point, just assumed the change was made and posted as such. Then, because it's such an insignificant detail, everyone took it as a fact.

WAKE UP SHEEPLE! :p

Yeah, I just double checked and it is already the name of their UA.

... Uh - I was under the impression it was called just "East India Company", and they added "Dutch" because of the new National Wonder...
I should just stop posting...

Still, I think there might be other civilizations with different starting bias, but I'm not sure which (didn't Sweden now start on tundra?)
 
Have Golden Ages changed? If I am correct, they now give one more gold on tiles that already produce two (or is it one)? They would be nerfed significantly with all the gold removed from the map.
 
No, they do! You could see it in the stream a few days ago.

As JSMCAG clearly realized, I was responding to the question about the Inca, not discrediting the Iroquois in any way. Clearly, I wrote somewhat misleadingly. :D

It won't. I remember back in the ol' days when G&K came out, it didn't affect my saved games.
 
Reformation beliefs: are they exclusive once chosen? I mean, can different religions have the same reformation belief?
 
Do we now start with a settler and scout, instead of a warrior?

My Aztecs are saddened.

I'm not 100% certain on this, but isn't it just Shoshone that start with a Pathfinder instead of a warrior, and everyone else with the normal (or unique) warrior.

Yes you are correct, its only the Shoshone that start with the settler - scout (pathfinder) setup, everyone else starts with a warrior like usual (confirmed in many of the preview gameplays)
