Even for wide empires, Rationalism is better because the right side of it gives you gold and happiness per city. Also, wide empires severely lack in science.... which is why wide strategies are quite weak on Deity. | ||

A wide empire that keeps near mountains will always make more science. | ||

Also, on Deity, playing a wide empire attracts way too much attention. The simple reason why wide empires suck at science is that wide empires are extremely inefficient on turning happiness into beakers. Also wide empires attract more attention from AIs, forcing you to produce more units spend more gold on things other than science. | ||

Anyone else kind of wish the caravan unit -- once the route is built -- were a couple of sizes? once they reach modern age and its turcks and super tankers everywhere the map looks a bit too busy. | ||

Say I have a trade route I want to set up via a port city to their port city yet do they also get + gold/resource if a road connects the city to their capital? And vice versa? | ||

I guess I don't mind it too much, it keeps it fairly intense when you start to pull ahead, but still, kind of annoying lol. | ||

And vice versa? You are talking the way the trade route works now, so the port city is connected to the capital and it gets gold from that per turn on top of the trade route you connect? I dont see them saying about changing that in any way. | ||

also, for a 17 minute player through the most informative things he manages to show are the policies -- where you have to pause to read them -- and the fact that trade apparently appears as soon as you get pasture. | ||

Will there be any random events in BNW like in Civ4? Not like in Civ 4 per se. For Civ V we choose instead to have the various systems in the game create events based on the world’s state rather than anything purely random. The city state system is the best example of this, but there are also events related to unhappiness, espionage, and World Congress. However we did put a simple random events system in to the Civil War scenario (implemented in the Lua scripting language), so any modders who want to add their own random events can see one method of adding random events to Civ V. so they are saying unhappiness, espionage, world congress are already 'random' events as they are now or that they made more events that spawn from these features? Also At what level of discontent do cities start flipping to a rival civ? When your happiness gets down to -20, then your Cities will start abandoning your empire. wtf? | ||

That's a rather large handicap for human players, given that so many early game builds are dependent upon upon trading luxuries and resources for lump sums to jump start expansion. | ||
