All Great and Small Wonders product culture, from 1 to 5 points per turn depending on how cultural it is (i.e. 1 for Military academy, 5 for Bach's Cathedral.)

Do you get a one-time culture boost when the Wonders are built?
How about culture effects for other buildings?

Each civ is assigned to a global culture, which determines some graphical things. There is a game effect though: members of the same culture get along better in negotiations, so the Americans can negotiate with the Iroquois more easily than the Zulus

Doesn't look like there's a bonus for completing a Wonder. The cultural buildings are Cathedral(3), Colosseum(2), Library(3), Palace(1), Research Lab (2), Temple (2), University (4)

Great work Andrew!

Could you tell us which special resouces are required for which units. I think that we know that tanks require rubber and nuclear weapons require uranium but not the others.

Ah ha! So the luxury and strategic resources do provide city bonuses. That's cool!

How 'bout those unit stats? Too much typing....?

[VetteroX]

Thanks for the info, could you tell us unit strengths? like how strong are infanty, mech infantry, riflemen, destroyers etc... we havnt seen any of these yet.

So in the strategic sense, it looks like Iron is the only resource that you can purposely build cities near to increase production. The others come too late in the game (based on the screenshots I've seen) and will be more like winning the lottery. I guess that's where conflict enters the picture, eh?

Some late-game stats:
Modern Armor: 24/16/3
Radar Artillery: 0/0/1 16/2/4
Mech Inf: 12/20/3
Battleship 24/20/4 8/2/4
Stealth Bomber 0/2/0 8/0(8)/4

The second set of stats is for bombardment--it's power/range/Rate of fire

[Shadowstrike]

How about the entire section on scenarios and editing? Or segments thereof?

Arrgh! That's out-of-date!! The battleship in the final game is 18(8).12.? and can only fire once per turn. I guess you can save your fingers the trouble and answer non-unit stat questions. Sorry!

I was afraid of that...
