... I don't get it.

I think they are saying that when a new city is founded, you get global unhappiness, so essentially San Francisco gets founded and society as a whole is made unhappier.

Pay no attention to this post. I am foolish!

 

[apocalypse105]

I am fairly sure that isn't true. You can only build farms on land that has a source of fresh water near it or a resource if I am not mistaken. Normally deserts are fairly useless.

Nope try it out you can farm dessert tyles..


And Why would fertiliser give +2 food for farms not close to water? Because you can build them everywhere XD

 

[King Patrick]

You can build farms in the desert, but because desert has no base food value (or anything else), your farm produces ... 1 food. Period. Which seems about right; you could probably grow something in the desert if you tried hard enough and spent enough money - greenhouses, maybe - but it's not even worth it.

54. Battle experience from a unit will carry over hundreds of generations, even when the unit is upgraded from archer to infantry, but no other units can ever learn a thing from that unit.
