Things I Learned About The World Through CivV

173. Mathematics had to be "discovered"


Or not, if you so choose, let us not forget that it is entirely possible to run a militaristic transcontinental empire with a host of diplomatic relations without being able to count!

Literacy is overrated!

I know mathematics should have come with calendar, masonry, agriculture, and several other previous techs.

The fact that the pyramids can be built without discovering says a lot about the game.
 
67. Siam conquered all of the world's major civilizations
68. France has done it too!
69. The Great Pyramids were built in Bangkok
70. Korea is bigger than Australia and Canada combined!
71. The world has multiple Oxford universities.

meh. its should be renowned university (IE Harvard, Oxford, Australian national university, U of Hong Kong)
 
the spanish took it from Morocco

but its more worth to the spanish, they took it from Al-Andalusia, who took it from the Vandals(i guess), who took it from the romans, who took it from some Iberian tribe, who took it from the Neandertals....

187. Even before people knew how to build boats and navigate rivers they still provided extra :c5gold:.
 
188. Since the beginning(4000 BC), every civs know that awesome technologies exist and know what they gonna research to get these techs.

189. Research agreements have some mystic powers. They are controlled by weird scientists from the outer world. Some civs know how they work and have serious premonitions. They can ''manipulate'' this power for their own sakes. The Porcelaine Tower is their home.

190. Olympic games don't exist. It's a myth. They do have Backstabbing games tho.

191. For some reason, a civ in ancient era can help as much as any civ in the modern era to help researching future techs. Ask the alien scientists for more infos(yes, they live in the Porcelaine Tower :lol:).
 
192. during the construction of more monumental building known as world wonders, one must be fast to finish it. For even if you are one stone away from completing it, and some unknown, unmet stranger on a landmass you never even knew existed it completes it first, all construction on that building must be halted.
193. in relation with 192, if you are beaten to a wonder all your progress on that wonder is somehow converted into gold.
 
195. At the dawn of history, people in a civilization's capital demanded ivory, even though they had never seen ivory, or an elephant.
196. Stonehenge was often built in the sea.
 
197. If you have ten archers (or warriors, spearmen etc) and nine of them get killed, the other one only needs to hang around for a bit to bring them back to life. However, if all ten get killed then there's no bringing them back.

198. Should that last remaining archer, warrior or spearman earn a promotion for valour on the field of battle, he can decline the promotion in favour of reincarnating his mates.

197: I believe the right number is 12.
 
198. All nations will name their secret nuclear weapons research program, Project Manhattan.
 
199 In an instant you can change a horse and its rider into a Gunship, however you must do it within your borders
200 You get the same money out of Gold than out of Silver. Hell, even dyes give you the same profit
201 Providing the fact that you let the game last long enough, sooner or later nukes will be launched by some one - no matter what
202 Two people can't share the same tile while on the previous turn it may have been occupied by an entire unit of Tanks.
203 People of Bucarest are irrational, hostile but cultured. Must be populated by divas
204 You can buy yourself votes (wait, this one is realastic)
 
205. The Medieval Age started somewhere in the BC era (not 476 AD).
206. An opera house must have been built before thinking on a museum. No exceptions.
207. Paratroppers' planes don't use oil.
208. The US is more concerned about aluminium than oil.
209. You must use coal to ''build'' a factory; not to make it work.
210. Indians have a secret source of elephants in Delhi.
 
187-193 got repeated.
So I'm jumping up to bridge the gap.
218: The Mayans were wrong. The world will not end in 2012. It will be 2050.
 
219: 10 000 spearmen can occupy a hex of land, 10 000 archers can occupy a hex of land, but 1000 of each can't.
219a (corollary): If the 1000 archers are in a forest, the 1000 spearmen can't even pass by them... unless they both trade hexes; in which case they can do it even if there are 10 000 of each.
 
220. Having conquered nanotechnology, the human race completely gave up scientific research.

221. Russian alchemy consists of turning iron into iron.

222. Despite only having discovered mathematics, ancient civilisations had the ability to end the world and travel back in time when things didn't go their way. This occured frequently with civilisations neighbouring the Aztecs.

:lol:

"Er, Dave, apparently the French have already built some Pyramids"

"Dang it, just knock it all down then."

I don't get it...

anyway!

223. All civilizations appear together at the same time, no new ones may appear, however existing ones can be destroyed.
224. If a Civilization is destroyed, the leader is NEVER executed, and is still kept fit enough to continue ruling after 500 or so years if the civ is ever liberated.

Either that or the leaders can turn into zombies at will....

225. "I trust you are a friend to liberty" translates to "Hello."
