Y'all, I have a very critical question that needs an answer.

Why is it possible to build Chariot Archers without The Wheel?

I got jet fighters off the pentagon without flight or aluminum last game. I wonder what the most extreme thing you can do is.

A couple years ago it was changed for balance reasons by community vote. Not very logical, I agree, but gameplay over realism I suppose.

Can the "More Luxuries" component of Vox Populi be used independently of the others or do I need all components to be enabled? For some playthroughs, I intend to enable only the (1) Community Patch and (5) More Luxuries in addition to a couple of unrelated mods like R.E.D. and Really Advanced Setup. Would this be feasible?

Is there a way to change the gamespeed setting after starting a game? Maybe using IGE?

I don't think so, no. Gamespeed determines a lot of things, like technology costs, building costs, etc.

Hello,

I am not sure what has happened. I have been playing the most recent patch. I am in 1500 and still am unable to move land units across the water. Any idea why I cannot move across the water at this point? Thanks.

That's the type of question you ask on the Quick question / Quick answer thread.

Did you research Fishing and / or Astronomy ?

I don't think so, no. Gamespeed determines a lot of things, like technology costs, building costs, etc.

I never even thought about changing this element during a game, and I really don't think that's possible indeed.

I accidently started on a huge map with standard speed instead of epic. That's too little time for domination. But the starting location is interesting. So I want to change it for the turn 0 save.

What you can do is save the map and use it for a new game with the settings you want. You aren't guaranted to obtain the same starting location, but maybe rerolling until you get what you want will do the trick.

Cool. How to do that?

There is an option in the save menu : once the map saved you can rename it in your files and use it alongside the others in the map list.

Why do some games seem to run out of great works after a very short time? In my current game with Japan (lots of GWAM), my great writers already stopped produce great works of writing in the Renaissance Era.

Is there a fixed number of great works that can be created per games?

I just randomly rolled Arabia. Never played these before. It seems to all be about creating historical events to get a bonus.

Checking the Civopedia, I understand how to create a Historical Event in all circumstances except one.
In the Civopedia it says, "Trade with a city state - Cultural diplomacy (policy)" When I search nothing comes for "Cultural diplomacy. "What is it? Where is it or has it been changed?

Also, I'm not used to going for Cultural victory. When is it best to use a Great Musicians cultural bomb? As soon as possible or later in the game when I generate more culture and tourism? If so, how late...?!

The "Trade with a City State" is related to the Statecraft Policy: Consulates.

For Great Musicians, you want them later in the game when you produce the most tourism. As for how late, it's generally when you're influential with all but one civ and the Great Musician will get you there with that last stubborn one.

Isnt the number of religions possible supposed to be #of players/2+1 rounded up? When I play with 10 still only 5 are possible.

I thought it was tied to map sizes and there's a default number of players for each map size.

Thank you for the timely and succinct strategy! That sounds perfect to me.

Specifically, it's in Community Balance Patch/Balance Changes/Worlds/WorldSizes.sql:

UPDATE Worlds
SET MaxActiveReligions = '3'
WHERE Type = 'WORLDSIZE_TINY' AND EXISTS (SELECT * FROM COMMUNITY WHERE Type='COMMUNITY_CORE_BALANCE' AND Value= 1 );

UPDATE Worlds
SET MaxActiveReligions = '4'
WHERE Type = 'WORLDSIZE_SMALL' AND EXISTS (SELECT * FROM COMMUNITY WHERE Type='COMMUNITY_CORE_BALANCE' AND Value= 1 );

UPDATE Worlds
SET MaxActiveReligions = '5'
WHERE Type = 'WORLDSIZE_STANDARD' AND EXISTS (SELECT * FROM COMMUNITY WHERE Type='COMMUNITY_CORE_BALANCE' AND Value= 1 );

UPDATE Worlds
SET MaxActiveReligions = '6'
WHERE Type = 'WORLDSIZE_LARGE' AND EXISTS (SELECT * FROM COMMUNITY WHERE Type='COMMUNITY_CORE_BALANCE' AND Value= 1 );

UPDATE Worlds
SET MaxActiveReligions = '7'
WHERE Type = 'WORLDSIZE_HUGE' AND EXISTS (SELECT * FROM COMMUNITY WHERE Type='COMMUNITY_CORE_BALANCE' AND Value= 1 );

Is there a way to keep the mod loaded so you don't have to load them every time Civ5 is started / you quit to menu?
