I think it does hurt your rep, but check this out from the War Academy: http://www.civfanatics.com/civ3/strategy/trading_reputation.php

Once again, if you have an existing improvement but get it free from a wonder, you still pay maintenance on it.

However, it should be noted that the city view does not display red coins indicating maintenance. You need to go through each city and attempt to sell the improvement in order to stop paying maintenance on it. Perhaps this is a bug on Firaxis' part, perhaps not.

I've created a simple scenario to illustrate it. Choose any Commercial civ, Rome will do nicely, and start the game. SunTzu's is available with Alphabet, and cost is set at 10.

If you have to pay for it then how come it doesnt' affect gpt or the numbers on the F1 screen?
It doesnt' for me and i have fully patched conquests.

How much does the commercial bonus affect city size settlements center city squares? (please don't answer unless you're 100% sure because lots of people have different opinions on this fact).

 

[IronJeff]

Err.. What's a Sid Game?

 

[Padma]

The highest difficulty level in the Conquests Expansion pack. Even higher than Deity.

(Named for Sid Meier, the founder of Civ. )

I popped a gh with my cap and got a settler once. Not expansionist.

I don't think you can pop one in 4000BC (viz. Turn 1).....do you remember what turn it was TruePurple?

@denyd: Thanks for posting those fact tables.................. very good reference material.

 

[TruePurple]

Turn 9 or 10 or so, when my caps culture expanded.

Suddenly my towns got more unhappy. I am at war but I'm monarch, which civipedia says suffers from no war weariness. Also when I click on the unhappy faces the next turn, 100% too crowded. Anyone know what might be going on here?

I'll attach a file shortly, after I remember how to load files bigger then 500k.

 

[Smart]

On which difficulty are you playing? On Emperor and above you get only one "free" content face

I'll attach a file shortly, after I remember how to load files bigger then 500k.

Don't attach the autosave, open it in Civ and resave again

 

[TruePurple]

You think my difficulty level would change from one turn to the next? Are you sure you earned the handle "smart" ?

 

[Smart]

Maybe you have many towns with population 1-2, and they all have gwown in one turn
Post the save anyway

 

[TruePurple]

No, Many of the towns that rioted were at the cap of 12 and had been there for awhile.

My lux hadn't changed from the one turn to the next either.

How come manual saves are so much smaller then auto saves?

 

[TimBentley]

Manual saves are compressed. Several cities are ready to riot in 1520 (or became unhappy when the MP left). Attaching the 1515 save may help. Did Germany declare war on you? In that case, my guess would be that you lost war happiness.

Edit: Looking at your other thread supports this (you should find your size 12 cities previously had 3 more content or happy faces, for example).

 

[rprA5]

should i go for iron working or literature first?

 

[Mathias]

That question cannot be answered out of context. What level are you playing, and what are your short-term and long-term goals in the game?

 

[rprA5]

i'm only on chieftain, as for my goals...REVENGE

 

[TruePurple]

Did Germany declare war on you? In that case, my guess would be that you lost war happiness.

How do you figure? Anyways I've been at war with Germany for a number of turns. And like I said, I am in monarchy, which civipedia says has no war weariness. And as I said, none of the unhappy citizens complain of war weariness, just overcrowding.

 

[HellboundHeathcliff]

You can still get war happiness even in monarchy. It wears off after a while depending on how the war goes.

 

[gmaharriet]

Look at my cap on the earlier turn. 6 happy 6 sad. Look at it on the next turn.

I think Tim Bentley is right about it being the turn BEFORE 1520. Here's a screen of CrpMapStat showing your towns will riot on the next turn. Maybe you lost a lux on the inter-turn after 1515.
