An argument could be made that a Canal should give a trade bonus like a River does, but I did not do that because then you could add a Canal to tiles worked by a city just to get that trade bonus, which seems wrong. In Civ I, you only get the trade bonus once for road and/or river. You could add ca...

Another issue with barbarians is lack of sea unit flag, which guarantee spawning such unit if certain tech level i achieved by any player. Such flag exists for land units, but not sea ones. What flag are you referring to? What appears to be missing is a distinction between "BarabarianBoat"...

Only one nation can be land barbarians or sea barbarians at time. Their appearing mechanism is hardcoded but it's possible to set barbarian rate to "only from huts" and produce them by scripting engine. The barb nations actually persist for some substantial period of time after the "...

Also note : Other thing that should take note is that US Air force attack countries such as Iraq, Afghanistan that at the other side of the world far from the US. These attacks are done from local bases. The B52 has 'only' a range of 7,210 km which is barely 1/3rd the way to the "other side of ...

Please get rid of empire penalty, it does not make sense at all. There are big countries in the world such as USA, Brazil, Russia and others and protests usually happen for reasons unrelated to the size of the country. This is a FEATURE of the civ * genre (all fc rulesets that I know of AND Civ I)....

Cetainly could be. Players using the civ1 ruleset may get some relief in a few weeks time.

This goes right back to Civ I albeit in a slightly simpler form (no police stations). Thank you Hans for explaining this. I was always mystified by this association but it is not the only parochial feature of the game. The US was actually quite late to this party.

Try playing with ZERO. That's how much Civ I would give you (except Chieftain where you get the princely sum of 50).

The 2 civil war ais are in cease fire. I don't understand why the algorithm allows these ais to have a so early cease fire because fratricide wars in real life usually last much longer than other types of war but despite of this the partition of this ai country was an achievement. Civ I was better ...

This is also a game option (Military tab on server options). Unfortunately it is half baked: Civ I for example makes a distinction depending on why the capital was lost,
