A question of curiosity- my capitol has barracks, airbases, and drydocks. Yet, whatever I build there only has the 2xp from the national wonder, The Pentagon. The only thing "different" I can see about the city is Leonardo's Workshop. Does Leonardo's Workshop disable local xp bonuses for new units?
First, sorry I didn't reply to your PM. I don't come here as often as I used to... I still love Civ but it doesn't mix well with a full-time job and a full-time wife.
As for your question, LW should not interfere with XP. I can see one reason, though : some units do require a barracks to be built, and such units do not get the extra XP.
If you mouse over the barracks in the city build list (at the bottom of the city screen), you'll see "adds +3 XP to units built in this city unless barracks are required to train", or something like that.
Same goes, I guess, for other unit types (aerial or naval). It's a feature, not a bug.
Edit : yes, Huge map games tend to get insufferably slow from the industrial era onwards, even on a state-of-the art computer. That's because the AI ends up with hundreds of cities and thousands of units, and Civ4 only handles one thread, which means 2014 processors only handle this game marginally better than 2006 CPUs at identical frequencies. If you intend to play the game to the end, you should stick to Large. That's a shame...
