Hey guys, long time Civ'er here... I don't post much at all, but lurk alot. A few questions about naval game mechanics:
1) What exactly is the criteria for circumnavigating the globe first, to get the movement bonus for ships? I could swear I moved a ship all the way around the world first, but the bonus went to someone else. I obviously missed something. So what are the exact requirements (other than being the first to do "it", whatever "it" is)?
2) I take it that Optics is the very first technology that will allow you to build a naval vessel capable of circumnavigating the globe (with a Caravel)? This assumes, of course, that you are on a landmass that is isolated enough that you can't somehow pull this off with a work boat, or Galley.
3) For that matter, if you WERE on a landmass that isn't isolated, say, close enough to one of the poles, CAN you get this bonus with a Galley or Work Boat?
