Undocumented Warlords Features

West Point now requires a unit of level 6 experience... Not 5, as used to be in vanilla.

And Heroic Epic requires a level 5. It kind of irritated me when I found that out, that was always one of the first things I built after I got Literature.

The manner in how superspecialists are displayed has been changed.

Previously if you settled more than six in a city, the subsequent ones were not displayed. Now, once you exceed that threshold, each type of superspecialist gets one icon to represent that type, and a mouseover blurb will tell you how many of that type are in the city and what their total benefits are.

Yes, this is reason enough to use your first Great General to increase the experience of your highest level unit. Hopefully it's a Swordsman or Axeman, not an Archer.

Everyone probably knows that Toyko is the second city Japan settles, but Edo was Toyko's first name. I don't think they each should be in the game.

Yes, this is true...and the original spelling of Edo is "Yeddo"

Before the most you could get was +5 if both of you share the same religion. (And sufficently present in both of your empire cities.) There was no additional bonus for you owning the holy city.

No, I've had +7 for sharing a religion in classic Civ. I think it might require that the AI be one that cares, and definitely length of time matters, but I've definitely had it.

Not to nit-pick but wouldn't it's original spelling have been in Kanji (and later Katakana)?

EDIT: Let's see if this works... 江戸 <-- the "original" spelling.

I must confess I had never seen a minus seven related to the "heathen religion" exercise in diplomatic pluses and minuses. But I have one in the current game with Saladin, who founded a different religion and is very serious about it. I have an ADDITIONAL -2 for refusing to convert when he asked me to. However, I had no cities with his religion so was reluctant to go thru anarchy only to be hosed as to religion in my cities. A minus 9 in that one category (religion) means we'll soon be at war. Unfortunately, he has a very large army, just got camel archers, and I'm a tech behind on knights. Anyone know what would have happened if I had said yes? Would his religion have appeared in my capitol?

You must have had his religion in one of your cities (Most likely a small one that you don't look at much) for him to demand and for you to change.

Hiragana, not katakana.

(Last OT, I promise Solver)

1) I know literally nothing of Japanese language except what I looked up to poke fun at Shogun.

2) The article I read said they both (Hiragana and Katakana) derived from Kanji so I figured Edo being as old as it is would have been in kanji originally.

3) I have no earthly idea what the characters I pasted are or say. They were in the Wiki article on Edo (that I looked up to poke fun at Sho).

So, in other words, umm... if you say so.

I just wanted to poke fun at Shogun Gunner. I didn't know I'd have to defend myself.

The signs in the wikipedia article look like kanji to me.
At least they don´t resemble todays hiragana and katakana

[Todd Hawks]

They *are* Kanji. Monkspider just wanted to say that "later" they would be in Hiragana instead of Katakana (as response to Padillah).

Which is partly correct. Hiragana is used for "original" Japanese words (which the name of this city surely is) while Katakana is mainly used for "imported" words. Like "door" is "doa" in japanese and would be spelled in Katakana.
Only *partly* correct because Japanese still mostly use Kanji wherever possible, so even today it would neither be written in Hiragana nor Katakana.

And now back to topic.

Each civ has three (3) techs at the start.
This seems undocumented...

Most likely someone else had mentioned it.

The player gets additional techs only on difficulty settings below Noble.

And is this new or happens in vanilla too? I can't check it right now...
