(oh, that's effectively exactly equal to what you wrote). Six of one and half a dozen of the other. I wrote it that way because of the way it can be compared to the others: A. max(abs(dx), abs(dy)) + min(abs(dx), abs(dy)) * 1 (Manhatten) (aka abs(dx) +abs(dy)) B. max(abs(dx), abs(dy)) + min(abs(dx)...

In Civ I the palace is much like any other improvement with some exceptions: A. Only one at a time (per player). If you build a duplicate the other is lost (no sales revenue I believe) B. With civil war both players get a free replacement. C. No civil war -> NO free replacement. According to 'Rome' ...

City, Unit, Stack, Tile, Extra, Self.

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.

SP players too (well at least this one).
