Full Time Hypocrite
Recently started a game as the Grigori, only to find myself on a pseudo-archepelago (the bits of land were connected by thin strips of land) COVERED in jungle. I start to see the extent of this jungle, and I start to groan and my cursor starts hovering over the menu button.
Why? Because it take me until halfway through the game too get Sanitation in a jungle start. This makes as much sense as No Child Left Behind; im already severly penalized in production and, most importantly, in commerce thanks to the jungle start, and the only way to alleviate me of that is by researching a fourth tier tech that I can really get until halfway through the game, at which point its an uphill battle to climb that score chart where even the lowest civ is still several 100 points ahead of me.
Why not move the ability to chop jungles to Bronze Working so as not to further penalize the person on the jungle start? If its a question of making Sanitation useful, right now thats all its really useful for anyways unless one is going for the culture victory, or is luxury poor (public baths are nice at times.), and I find it annoying rather than actually making Sanitation desirable.
Secondly, I was persuing a Enchantment III Fire III, Twincasting archmage plan with my adventurers. Deciding I wanted some Magic Resistance and Mobility for these guys, I plan on building the Eternal Flame and hooking up my second node as an enchantment node, since the above path uses all their promotions. I finally get this all hooked up (thanks to a great engineer), and I upgrade my adventurers to adepts, and what do I see? No free promotions! Whats the reasoning behind this, if any, or is it just an oversight?
Thanks in advance.

That's not something difficult to code as far as I understand it (Homeland works that way already, and the issues with border expansions and other things which aren't covered by OnUnitMove would be far less problematic with workers. I guess you might need a placeholder promotion which would triger in your borders to give invisibility since you couldn't make it intrinsic to the unit, but that's doable and opens up its own rather interesting possibilites elsewhere - very Shadow-y). Plus, it was always a neat idea, especially when it's so easy to move 4 or 5 tiles per turn even very early on, and some huge number with mobility promos and haste spells.
