Persia advanced roads could mean free railroad after getting modern roads, the last one, no? It would be really good.

Trade routes now get a multiplier to their gold output based on the efficiency of the route they are taking.
Railroads aren't an automatic upgrade. They have to be laid manually with Military Engineers with a strategic resource cost. So Persia probably won't be getting them for free.
I know, but they could. Would be a little update to Persia, without much in game change.
Don't railroads cause a tiny bit of CO2 emission? Your idea would mean that as Persia you could never decide on your CO2 output... Seems illogical to me.
I can't imagine it's that much for one hex of a RR.True. We need to know how much of CO2 a railroad emits. It could be countered by the Carbon recapture Project, and anyway you will emit CO2 if you want power, as it comes mostly from powerplants and even the nuclear one emits a little bit - depending only on solar and wind farms is no feasible in game, I think. We need to wait the full release to see how that goes anyway.

I may be wrong but I thought it was the building of them that caused co2 output, not the actual railroads.
If Denmark is ever included they should probably be high medieval focused (Margaret I), thus no railroad bonus. In my opinion anyhow.That would be a great workaround for a civ getting railroads automatically then. Still, wouldn't we want a country that uses railroads most per capita? Like Switzerland or Denmark?

I get you, but the argument was about Persia, and surely if Persia could get such a bonus even though they are depicted as entirely classical, Denmark would work too : )
That said, The Netherlands is also divided between eras (Wilhelmina and her UU are off by a couple of centuries), so I don't see why a medieval focus Denmark couldn't have a railroad bonus too : )
I mean... does Persia need any more bonuses? It’s a very solid Civ as is.
If they only had limited Dev time to relook at the older Civs, I’d personally rather they spent it giving a bit of support to less solid Civs (Norway, Georgia etc).
Or, give everyone a second look, then absolutely!
Edit: That wasn’t directed at you btw!. Just your quote captured the spirit of the debate nicely
Nah, I agree. Persia doesn't need any more bonuses I think. Norway and Georgia definitely could use a buff, and while I think The Netherlands is quite strong, I would like them changed too. Notice I said changed, not buffed. GS seems perfect for them, since The Netherlands is all about living below sea level. It's completely nuts that the sea can reclaim land, and the Dutch don't get that bonus in this expansion. I mean, it's what the whole country is about!
Hojo's Divine Wind ability now includes "Units do not receive damage from Hurricanes. Civilizations that are at war with Japan receive +100% unit damage from Hurricanes in Japanese territory."
From @B0RDERL1NE (Carl) in the Game Mechanic's Twitch chat:
He later clarified that this is in addition to all current Divine Wind bonuses.
