Is there a special way of doing that besides just installing the exe file?

Could someone remind me where to find the instructions to have the AI take over your civ mid-game, or take over an AI?

Do hotels and other related tourism from culture buildings affect the culture from UA's? Im thinking dutch and france kind of abilities.

 

[azum4roll]

If the yields are on the city tile, yes (see France UA).
If the yields are added to the city or empire, no.

The UA description simply doesn't have space to differentiate them.

hello, I'm a bit lost about how spies work on current patch. Is there somewhere a guide that roughly describes the current system ? In my last deity england game I didn't get much done with my starting spy.

Hello
one quick question: how do i display resources on the screen, as I see in most (if not all) screenshots here. I'm talking about the small round icons which display the resources (luxury, strategic, etc.), and not the tile yields.
I'm playing VP with EUI, do i need an additional mod ?

Thanks

Click on the parchment close to the minimap, and tick "Resource icons"

When occupying an enemy city, the circus and zoo are always destroyed.
(Imperialism - Civilizing Mission has been acquired)
VP version: 4.15.2
Mods used: 3rd and 4th Unique Components mod for VP (v.88) only

This has been occurring since VP Ver. 4.4 or so.
Is this by design? Please let me know if there is any information missing.

 

[azum4roll]

It's never captured, so you don't miss out on the instant yields.

Thank you for your reply.
I recognized it as a specification.( the circus and zoo are always destroyed)
Then, the description of Imperialism - Civilizing Mission
Retain “all” buildings from conquered Cities
Does that mean it's a mistake?
It would be easier to understand if it said “except for circuses and zoos”.

 

[azum4roll]

Some buildings, like national wonders, guilds, corporation buildings, and anything that gives instant benefits are marked as never captured. Never means never - there aren't exceptions.

Am I correct in saying that +Border Growth Points you get from a terrain feature, like a Fort, really ARE doing something, but it's just not represented in the UI when you go inside a city and look at your culture/border growth breakdown? The ones you get from buildings (e.g. Smokehouse) are shown here, but I don't see any from terrain.

I actually created my CBP forum account to come and ask someone if this information can be added to the city UI haha, but I think I still lack the privileges to actually post any threads

 

[hokath]

Welcome to the party.

If you hover over Culture in the City View, it should show the Border Growth Point contribution separately there

Does anyone know where is the button to negotiate peace with human player? (Playing with EUI) We cannot make peace T_T

What happens with antiquity sites when someone places embassy over them? Do they just disappear, so we have less artifacts? I wonder, because AI seems to prefer establish embassies over them, in 10 turns of epic game I see they placed 3, all over antiquity sites (seems they don't have tech to excavate, but somehow see them).

 

[azum4roll]

They're only spawned when someone researches Archaeology, and never on GPTI.

If you see embassy on sites, it's placed after they spawned but before the owner had Archaeology (or they simply prefer placing embassies on resources?). Those can never be excavated since embassies are permanent.

 

[AndreyK]

I think that they see AS as resource and place embassy over them, it's now 4 embassies over AS and if there are 3-4 same tiles,for exaple snow flat then AI place embassy exactly on antiquity site. I send archeologist and on halfway or on arrival I don't find another archeologist or site excavated (which also can happened but it's fine and logical) but see embassy, so I wonder how many cases I didn't see. May be we should prevent embassies be placed over AS?

 

[Anarcomu]

That looks like an AI problem, so better solve the AI than change the rule.
In the other hand, If you don't aim at cultural victory, denying sites to your rivals can be a strategy. You can then focus your limited 3 archaeologists on closer sites.
