Do global penalties for broken promises get applied to Civs you haven't met yet? It doesn't show atleast. Also if Casus Belli gets repealed or Global Peace Accord gets passed, do the penalties of past but recent conquests get increased?

No to both.

 

[der_weihnachtsmann]

No to both.

thx <3

The City-States rewards when you first meet them, is it variable on circumstances? does it change if you are not the first civ to do it? or it really doesnt matter and its "fix"?

Pretty sure you get more if you're first (it says something about it in the popup too). I think it also depends on their friendliness level

At some point, my ships are able to move through ice tiles if they are within my territory. But is it something that is unlocked by a specific tech?

Hi, could someone tell me if you can still win domination by vassalizing every other civ or you really need all the capitals? Cause I did vassalize 6 civs and got 1 capital in one of my games and I didnt win so am I missing something, or you just cant win that way?
Thanks

Quick question- in current game the accept embassy is greyed out for all 8 players and me when when I go to the trade screen. It use to be if someone did not want to accept embassy you would select the option and then they would say impossible but now since it is greyed out it is not even an option. All 8 players have denounced me so I think I remember something where if you were denounced you could not setup an embassy but I can't find it when googling and searching the forum. Can anyone confirm if this is the case that if you are denounced you can not setup an embassy and that indeed should be greyed out as an option.
Thanks!

Correct, denouncing blocks the denouncing player from accepting embassies from the denouncee until the denouncement expires. Not sure if this is documented anywhere, though.

It's intended that capitals owned by capitulated vassals count toward the master's Domination victory, but this was noted to be bugged a few versions ago and I don't recall if it was ever confirmed to be fixed. Might just accept the victory in your mind, like when Diplo victory was bugged for me and the World Leader vote never fired after UN was built and World Ideology adopted.

Is there supposed to be a 10% unit production penalty per local war weariness?
That's what I saw in my previous game and in the early stages of my current game.
At some point, not sure when, I stopped seeing this penalty entirely, but the war weariness is still there.

Thank you

As the cost of PW increases with each additional PW, is there a way to track how many you have built?

Yeah I changed it so denouncement makes it impossible to trade.

Yes- thank you . This is how it works after the denouncement was up, I was able to accept an embassy and actually became friends with the Shaka.... lol

has there been a change to how CS give quest? It seems they are much more unlikely to give out city conquest quest than before. In past versions, a new city conquest quest pops up 1-2 turms after the quest is cleared; now sometimes there would be era gaps before I'm offered a city conquest quest again.

Yes, I cleaned up bugs in this code. Likelihood should be reduced.

Do city borders grow into ocean anymore? When did the change happen?

 

[youngsteve]

Do city borders grow into ocean anymore? When did the change happen?

They do. I had the same query, & Zarrk mentioned that was because your units couldn't cross oceans. I have just reached Astronomy & now all my cities are expanding into oceans that stopped growing. I agree, that this didn't seem to happen in the past, & not sure if changes were made or when

 

[ilmis9]

1. Can we , please I beg you, get an airbase/airfield terrain improvement?
There are some mods with such a feature but Im afraid they are not compatible with VP.
2. How about feature that makes you decide to vassal or completly liberate a civ when you call them back from elimination?
Thanks!

Another quick question- do orders stack with the hero epic- i.e. getting two morale promotion for plus 20%. I thought I heard in one of Milae's videos that he was getting two morale promotions although this might have been an old stream.

 

[Rekk]

They do not. With regards to Milae's situation, there is a different promotion that gives something with the same name. Don't remember where it counts from, but I think it's temporary.
