I've moved from Authority to Emperor this patch. AI keeps improving

Oh, wow! Thanks. Will try the newest version on King then.

How much unit promotion bonus does the AI has? There was one time I didn't completely isolate Kamehameha's capital yet and a spearman with nice promotions spawned behind my own spearmen. I had to shift the encirclement and let my Samurai with General take it on...

Depends on difficulty. Usually faster XP, cheaper cost of everything, and starts with promoted units. Extra yields on each era.

On Prince; 15 starting XP (enough to start with a free promotion) ; more free XP and faster XP on higher levels. AI gets somewhat less free XP on Warlord.

I believe it depends on your policies. Did you take Tradition branch?

That could also be one of the religious reformation wonders. Every one of those gives big bonuses for great people, but each one breaks the bonus down differently.

If I wanted to nerf the overall health/CS of cities, where would a plebian like me go to do that?

Nerf walls, castles, arsenals, and military bases.

I only fill my tradition policy until 3rd policy.
Perhaps city state quest? But i dont think any of cs quest give culture bonus?

Isn't it Aesthetics starter?

I can think of 5 sources of culture for expending great people

-Tradition Policy, the one with the writer. I forget the name
-The Aesthetics opener
-Mausoleum of Halicarnasus
-Ceremonial Burial (founder belief)
-To the Glory of God (reformation belief)

However, these all give the bonus for expending the great person, not just being born (important distinction, especially for generals and admirals).

I knew all of these. And you miss sainthood. But this happen when my great artist born. Not even expended yet. I will try to watch it carefully next time where the bonus come from. Btw, i am playing korea, which suppose to only give bonus golden age point upon GP born.

IIRC Sainthood gives 100 faith but no culture.

The problem is probably Korea. I haven't played him since his changes

Just a question i keep asking my self and can't decide what is the best course of action, is it better to completely destroy an enemy AI meaning (anex ,raze) or leave them with just one or two cities never again to rise on the score board? I am talking diplomacy , warmongering penalty wise. I am asking because it's very tiring to be hated by everyone for what seems for ever with denouncements after denouncements (especially when you are at the top of score board).

If it has only crappy cities left then let it be. If not, you are just leaving those cities for others to take.

Unless you are purposely creating a buffer.

It's a good idea to make them vassals only for them to adopt your ideology later.

Nvm. I confirmed that the bonus come from city state quest to generate great person. The amount is quite huge thou. Almost 200-300 culture. And sometimes multiple city state ask for the same GP.
That makes explore and meeting all city state ASAP very important.

I'm planning a very long game on marathon/huge earth and my only limitation is unit maintenance scaling with turns. The best solution I found is this: https://www.reddit.com/r/civ/comments/2354qt/civilization_5_unit_maintenance_mod/cgw0sqi/
Will this work with VP? Any risk of breaking something? Or maybe there is some better solution?
