I posted about this in another thread, but figured I'd put it here as well.
I noticed in all my games, Emperor-Deity, military production was behaving strangely. I kept getting way more production every turn than I should get. After some investigation I found there's some weird bonus that kicks in immediately when Craftmanship is learned, no matter if the policy Agoge is used or not.
Here's my Deity capital, 1 turn before I reach Craftmanship, production has behaved normally so far. I've tested both slingers and warriors.
19/40 into warrior.
I've set it to work only food tiles, +4/turn. Warrior shown to be completed in 6 turns, as expected.
Next turn:
I've researched Craftmanship. Production invested went up to 26/40. That's +7, not +4. I did not switch to Agoge. I micro to keep working only food tiles and 4 production/turn, Rome keeps making 7 production/turn into warrior, without any policy bonus.
I also tested this on Prince. It did NOT work. Which is why I'm wondering if the higher difficulties right now are getting bonuses reserved for the lower difficulties. Or are we getting AI bonuses?
