Yes, they changed China to Militaristic and Industrious.
Not a word from them about it either.Creator of the Civ3MultiToolComment

They also changed the Persians from Militaristic/Commercial to Commercial/Scientific.
And moreover, the Germans are now Militaristic/Scientific."As far as general advice on mod-making: Go slow as far as adding new things to the game until you have the basic game all smoothed out ... Make sure the things you change are really imbalances and not just something that doesn't fit with your particular style of play." - WesWComment

That's a changing related to the new GA trigger. They changed it this way, so Chinese can get GA by GreatWall solely. Really don't know it's good or not. But after all, they care about our ideas, and we get a preaceful trigger.Comment

I wonder if they will change the Romans to Scientific then? They are now listed as the same as the Chinese.Kids! Bringing about Armageddon can be dangerous. Do not attempt it in your home.

I hope not. Please no! The Romans need to stay as "militaristic" and "industrious".Originally posted by donarumo

After all, how many scientific civs are we going to have? They can't all be scientific!!!'There is a greater darkness than the one we fight. It is the darkness of the soul that has lost its way. The war we fight is not against powers and principalities, it is against chaos and despair. Greater than the death of flesh is the death of hope, the death of dreams. Against this peril we can never surrender. The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.'"

So, now there are three pairs of civs with the same abilities:
- Aztecs and Japanese (Militaristic/Religious)
- Greeks and Persians (Commercial/Scientific)
- Romans and Chinese (Militaristic/Industrious)
And two 'ability-slots' are empty: Militaristic/Commercial (former the Persians) and Scientific/Industrious (former the Chinese).
Surely, there´s a lot of game-balancing going on at Firaxis right now."As far as general advice on mod-making: Go slow as far as adding new things to the game until you have the basic game all smoothed out ...

Question
:
Do the attributes of a Civ only affect the start-up bonuses of the civ or also affect further gameplay for human players?
For instance, if a civ is set to scientific, does it have a (speed?) advantage in discovering new things?

I dunno, the chinese are scientific and militaristic in my view. If anything, thier top trait is being scientific.
I guess japanese can become militarist / commercial
Romans could be expantionist militrarist.Comment
