    I have no idea what that tile is supposed to be.

    Is that lava near the volcano? It looks like pollution.

    Btw, wtf is the city building? A Stela?

    Also check out the "luxuries" column, between Improvements and production/food/commerce. They have 2 wines, 2 dyes, and 5 WHAT ??? 5 invisible luxuries?

    One more thing: I thought exotic birds are luxuries. Well, apparently they are not. They appear under "strategic resources". I wonder what are they good for?

      I'm really astonished about your observation skills !

      It is clear that is an Alpha version,I suppose it is a kind of terrain improvement related to irrigation....perhaps...or maybe a specific terrain resources.....perhaps....

      Funny thing is also the " stealth luxury "

      Hope Alpha versions will be tested a lot before releasing them.

        Some Aztec or Inca units might require elaborate feathered headgear.

            I figured it must be something like that.
            Think about what the description would be like:

            Aztec special unit: xxx
            Requires: iron and exotic birds

              I know it sounds silly, but I really think it could be the right answer.

                    Aha, so it's a column used as a monument. Thanks.
                    But what does it do? Generates culture or something more?
                    Nevermind, I'll find out soon.

                      I could understand that, but do they have to eat exotic birds?

                          The Exotic Birds resource was talked about in an article, a long time ago.

                          The feathers of the birds are used to make the arrows and whatnot.

                          Basically, without the EB, you won't be able to build certain units.

                              Those are dangerous birds, we lose pop points for every rushed warrior.
