1. Does Carnival ability of Brasil benefits from buffs to WLTKD?

2. Why AI does not stop spreading their religion when I ask them stop?

1. Does Carnival ability of Brasil benefits from buffs to WLTKD?

2. Why AI does not stop spreading their religion when I ask them stop?

1. I don't believe it's the case as Carnival is different from WLTKD. I'm about 80% certain that's the case.

2. If you ask AI to stop, you must look at their response. Some will say they will stop and they will keep their word. Others will say something along the lines of I will continue enlightening your people despite you protest. I'm not sure what determines their response but, generally in my games, most AIs will stop spreading if you ask them or, in my case, I'll stop them permanently myself.

Any time you ask the AI to do not do something they assess how important that thing is vs the repercussions of not doing what you ask. If you are a significant military/diplomatic threat they're more likely to accept, and they'll also be more likely to accept if you are very friendly I think. But military is definitely the biggest one in my experience.

As far as religion goes though, its easier to just slap Inquisitors down. It costs like 2-3 gold per turn "upkeep" per city to make your cities immune to conversion.

Why can't my archaeologists dig up certain sites in another civ's territory? There are no improvements or workers there.

Does the game difficult level (prince, king and so on) affects the AI units promotions? I do ask because I saw untis with astonishing number of promotions already in early game turns, like dromons and skirmishers, units that I'm pretty sure were brand new. I also noticed seattlers with 3 tiles moves.

Depending on the difficulty level, AIs get bonus XP added to all their new units, as well as extra XP gained from combat.

At Deity, they receive 2 free promotions from the start and gain twice as much XP from combat.

Settler: +0 XP / +0% XP increase from combat
Chieftain: +5 XP / +10% XP
Warlord: +10 XP / +25% XP
Prince: +15 XP / +33% XP
King: +20 XP / +50% XP
Emperor: +20 XP / +66% XP
Immortal: +25 XP / +75% XP
Deity: +30 XP / +100% XP

You need an Open Borders agreement or to be at war with the civ in question.

I have Open Borders.

I have Open Borders.

To clarify: You need Open Borders in both directions.

Well it is usually early game, i am trying to build up and they always reject. I immediately DoW on them. After enhancing I put inquisitors to borders and problem solved.

I have major warmonger diplomatic penalties (from -120 to -300) even if I haven't declared any wars. Every other civ in the game considers that "You will drag the world into a new dark age". Anytime I get attacked, it's me who gets the penalties. Diplomatic penalty wont decrease notably. Now I got in war with every major civ at once.

I need to find a way to get rid of this warmonger diplo penalty that doesn't work, at least temporarily. I tried to edit GlobalAIDefines.xml and GlobalDiplomacyAIDefines.xml, but I think I need to find the files that use those. Or maybe try something more creative? How to change it so that defensive wars give considerably less penalty?

Did your conquer cities in your defensive wars?

Can someone explain how to utilize Germany’s Hanse building? Should I spread out trade routes amongst my cities or does the production bonus stack? I’m at work rn and I’ve been thinking about it all morning.

I wanted to ask a question Earth Mother increases your production for every 3 citizens in a city. Does this bonus still aplies / increases when your city converts to your true religion
Because increasing religious citizen = less pantheon worship citizens since they converted

Your pantheon belief will become a part of your religion when you found a religion. The only time you lose your pantheon's benefits is when your cities convert to an outside religion.

Is there a place to view things offline? The wiki is noticeably outdated and every once in a while I like to look things over when I can't actually boot up civ

Sooo..... Trait_SpecialistYieldChanges scales every other era? I did not know this. I modded a custom civ that uses this table with the assumption that the trait had not been modified by CPP.

No wonder people complained that Sumer is OP... It was never meant to have its yields scale

Hi All! I have some questions regarding War Weariness.

I am currently playing a Multiplayer game with 4 people (latest modpack - 3.28). I have declared war on one nation (America), and two others declared war on me. At the moment, I have 7 Unhappiness from War Weariness after conquering 6 American cities and razing 2 of them.

So, questions:

1. If I conquer America completely (thus ending the war I started), will my War Weariness decrease?

2. Does War Weariness count differently for razing cities vs. simply conquering them? If so, how?

3. The 2 other players broke their "Declaration of Friendship" to attack me. Does it mean they should have higher War Weariness from the war with me than I do from the war with them? Or it doesn't matter at all? My understanding is that the War Weariness for the "attacked" player should grow slower than that of attacker.

4. My warmonger penalty (for units) is 25%. Will it decline over time if I don't capture any cities? The other players aren't going to sign peace, so that's not an option

Thanks,
Avendis

WW will start to go away once you are completely at peace.

2. Does War Weariness count differently for razing cities vs. simply conquering them? If so, how?

WW is only when bad things happen to your civ, like losing units, cities, trade units, civilian units, and getting tiles pillaged, but not offensive actions. But if you were to lose a city, it doesn't matter for your WW if it is razed or kept.

3. The 2 other players broke their "Declaration of Friendship" to attack me. Does it mean they should have higher War Weariness from the war with me than I do from the war with them?

It has no effect. See above for how WW works. The betrayal of DoF is a purely AI thing, it is a negative diplomatic modifier (permanent IIRC) to all AIs.

4. My warmonger penalty (for units) is 25%. Will it decline over time if I don't capture any cities? The other players aren't going to sign peace, so that's not an option

Warmonger penalties are not the same as war weariness. Warmonger penalties will decrease as long as you don't take offensive actions like conquering cities.

I think some of this is inaccurate.

You do get a % of the war weariness you inflict on others. So killing enemy units, taking enemy cities, plundering routes, etc will also give you war weariness even if you never lose your own units.

Also, I believe your war weariness can decrease when you make peace with one enemy but not others. I believe your war weariness is tracked per enemy and will fade once peace is made with that specific enemy.

1. Total War Weariness is a sum of the war weariness from individual wars. If you end your war with one nation, your war weariness with that nation will go down. However, since you're still at war with other nations your Total War Weariness may still increase.

2. Razing improves war score (which, in multiplayer, would be used to calculate the tourism/Aztec rewards for winning a war and the threshold for capitulation), but nothing else. War score has nothing to do with war weariness or warmongers penalties.

3.Nope.

4. Very, very slowly.

I'm general, any time you gain war weariness from losing something, the person who inflicted that loss on you gains half of that war weariness themselves.
