Hello all, had a quick question about World Congress host voting:

How does the AI determine who to vote for as host? I've had games where my allies and I all voted for the same civ to beat out an enemy's votes, and games where our votes were split which allowed an enemy with fewer combined votes to become host.

(Coming from my observations)
depends on your friends and how many votes you and they have. For example, if they can't win but they really like you and you have a chance at winning, then they will vote for you. This happened to me multiple times, but I'm fairly certain there are other modifiers and weights for calculation as well, Recursive can probably give more details.

Could someone explain what "Empire Size Modifier" is all about? Didn't find it in Civipedia.

Increases the median needs in your cities after each city you possess, acting as a small punishment if you go big.
In a nutshell: the more cities you have, the more unhappiness you will get in your cities.

it's described in the Civilopedia: Happiness -> Calculation of Needs Thresholds.
Basically, if you have more cities and population, it is harder to keep your cities happy. The empire size modifier increases the amount of yields you need to prevent unhappiness from needs (distress, boredom etc).

Do I get victory if I vassalize every AI in the game?

yes

Is there anything that can cause a massive influence decay or is this a bug. I also have a trade route with the CC and Trade Confederacy.

 

[Anarcomu]

For some times now, the more influence you have with a CS, the faster it's influence decays.
I remember it being a square relation (²).

Hi there
Old time player looking to try out out again. But so many changes...

Seem to remember a page where one could read about mechanics, e.g. Happiness (seems to have changed a lot). Am I right and I which case how do I find it?

If I were you I'd try to read back the changelogs, to get details of recent(ish) changes:

There is also a wiki page, but not everything is 100% accurate there:

Some parts of the Civilopedia have also recently been updated. Not everything is up to date yet, but e.g. the current Happiness system is explained there.

Does anyone have InfoAddict working with the latest release? Can't seem to find the button anywhere (and maybe there's a specific VP version?).

I do not remeber when I got my InfoAddict,but it works with this and all previous VP versions of past year

I do have some trouble in keeping up with tech starting from Industrial era. Doesnt matter how do I play-wide,tall,always going with rationalism,ether spaming GS doesnt work, I always do well with putting out raw science(like always being top3;5 in that area from 16civ games). Seems like AI just have lower tech cost. Playing with 5-10 tech gap in late game is not so fun bc its the time of game everybody starts going wild.
Recognized that this actually did not happen in previous versions.
Always playing Huge,Epic speed games om Emperor.

InfoAddict v22. Idk where I got it. Probably SteamWorkshop

 

[Civrinn]

Dumb question for you folks. Do your vassal's votes count for your global hegemony vote? (I ask because i just lost a game in the new version where my vassal didn't vote at all, and I am not sure if that is a bug or if it has never been the case.)

Why don't ironclads require iron?

Thx for the help. Feel like a total noob but I found it now. Seems another mod changed to top bar but it's still accessible.
