    this and that

    While playing i've discovered a few things and i'll post about them here... HOpefully others will too.


    - there appear to be no paratroopers

    - Tiles not only have a dual designation (like hills/forest) but can also have a triple designation. hill/forest/tundra

    - Forest expands automatically given time. Way cool

    - I found a few graphical glitches, (like minimap screwed up) or the orbital view screwed up, but somehow it has fixed itself after a couple of turns. (***Edit: okay, this is annoying - the culture expanded and woosh - minimap and globeview screwed up again)



    Anybody know how "+1 first strike" works?

    How does your minimap get screwed up? Black or all fancy colors?

    First Strikes give the unit a chance to fight an extra round of combat and deal the other unit some damage.

      It looks like its smeared. Globeview looks like a puzzle consisting of tiles that got randomized.


      Also noticed:

      - In diplomacy, i can't see the modifiers for the relationship. How can i turn them on? YOu know, the +1 for open boarders etc... ?


      - Also very interesting thing in the option menu. "stack attack" - No explanation as to how it exactly works or what it exactly does. hmmm.

        You see the relationship modifiers by mouseovering the leader name on the score display, his portrait on Foreign Advisor or I think his leadhead during diplomacy.

        "Stack attack" isn't as exciting as it sounds. Just lets you take a group of 5 units, order them all to attack, and then 5 attacks will happen automatically.

          MattPilot, isn't there a "drop" promotion? The icons I saw in the prerelease info indicated that...

              Does forest also expand to titles who are already improved? Like losing a farm because the forest spreads to it?

                That doesn't happen IRL, so why should it here?
