I have a suggestion. On the map from the latest GitHub version, the isle of Crete remains unsettled in every game I've played, unless I use WorldBuilder to place a city there. According to the history books, complex urban settlements emerged in the Minoan civilization around 2000 BCE. We could reference this by having an Independent city spawn in 2000 BC on tile (78,48), the eastern tile of Crete. Additionally, 2000 BCE was around when the first palace was built in Knossos. Just a thought.
I fear any Cretan city would end up being so unproductive to be useless since there are not many tiles available, especially considering Athens is really close. In RFC Europe the map is bigger and you can get a decent city out of it.
AI settling has improved a lot. I'm currently playing as Rome and Carthage has founded five cities (Alicante in Spain and Sala, Shigan, Wyksm, Rskd in North Africa). Now the Mediterranean feels more alive.

May I propose adding Ptolemy's sobriquet both for flavor and so it is clear which one is being represented? I'd presume this one is meant to be the founder of the dynasty which would be Ptolemy Soter
EDIT: I think it would be equally warranted for Africanus to be attached to Scipio. Allow me to now get totally carried away on this topic and ask to give Saladin back his proper Arabic name Salah al-Din (it looks cooler and isn't a contraction used by Europeans). There are several other leaders that bore famous sobriquets (Mehmet Fatih and Suleiman Kanuni to name two) but since there's no real need for disambiguation adding them would be entirely optional (but would be easy flavor and education). I think others would agree granting all "the Greats" would just be gratuitous so we don't need to go there.
P.S. Nice work on Alfred. NGL the old one did always strike me as kinda Dollar-Store-ish.
Please, could there be an option to turn off these popups "a new civ was born, do you want to switch to it"? I know people do that sometimes, but I am fairly sure I won't use it like ever... and it bugs me I have to click on it every time, it cannot be just ESCaped.
or is there a way to disable this e.g. in Python?
I am glad this is official! In my local clone I have this implemented too. I find it easier to look up tech info when I know which era to look within. This works for me who's already very familiar with the tech tree.
Can we do this for the civs too? I currently have them listed according to birth order. I'm not sure if it's just me, but having this order provides me higher chronological awareness of relative civ spawn dates.
Having seen some wonders come under review I'd like to resubmit an earlier request to overhaul Torre de Belem with a new effect granting free Customs Houses (read: Feitorias hehehe) in all eligible cities. It might make sense to add an additional requirement, say a minimum number of colonies (even if just one), to discourage it from being built by civs that would benefit little.
And if wonders are under review, I'd also suggest a new effect for Westminster Palace, perhaps something that would provide a benefit to all built Courthouses to reflect the spread of English common law. Three reasons:
Courthouses are a very strong building, so getting Westminster Palace is a huge priority, especially since Courthouses never spawn for free anymore.
The value of the wonder devalues the Courthouse construction bonus of Constitution.
Westminster Palace is a British wonder. However, the British UB, Exchequer, is available early and therefore very likely to be built en masse before the necessary tech for Westminster Palace is obtained. There is therefore little point in building the wonder
I have no brilliant suggestions for the effect, but maybe just like +2 Hammers or Gold or Commerce per Courthouse or something? I believe there's a similar effect for the impeachment event already.
Can it be implemented, that civ's Capital always get first ring around city for working titles? Very often capital lose rich food titles to neighbours cites (domestic) then civ spawn or respawn and civ lose core score population?
