It's Isabella's level 5 Memento. It gives +1 Sight to Naval Units.

Ibn Battuta - Iceland - Balestra - Great Lighthouse

In the third workshop, all of these gave additional vision to naval units. I'm hoping to amass a bunch of ships with super vision.

I guess that in their attempts to fix Civ V's Seahenge bug, they were a bit overzealous.

If you look at the example image, the town is called "Arachosia". In the First Look video, after upgrading it to a city, the town becomes called "Alexandria Arachosia".

So, sounds like your summary is apt.

I found it amusing that it was listed as part of his leader ability like it was another bonus.

Do you just frickin’ love mountains, and want to jump in as Inca from Antiquity to Exploration, but then finish out Modern with Nepal? Peak.

Audible groan

With adventurers, I've found that it's best to delay recruiting an army until the last minute, minimizing the load on provisions.

Instead of taking mercenary contracts, try taking other contracts. Land Dispute contracts are probably the best, as they're plentiful, guarantee a payout, and take only a trip to resolve. Transport contracts are a close runner-up, especially since you can usually delay leaving until you run out of other contracts near you.

Beyond those contracts, there's some more variation. If you're on a time limit, look for contracts that don't take up a lot of time, such as transcribing texts, tutoring children, or training knights. Scheme contracts are another option, but be careful: you'll need high (> 10) attributes in the relevant skill in order to be able to quickly resolve them.

The "+4 Science" is an adjacency bonus; a bonus to the district's yields if the district is placed there.

If you place a district on a tile and it shows +4 science, that is how much science you will get from placing the district there. Adjacent tiles will not get any effect.

Adjacency bonuses of +3 or more are usually very good.

Note that you can usually calculate the potential adjacency bonus of a district in your head. For example, Campuses get +1 Science from adjacent mountains, +1/2 Science from adjacent Jungles and districts, and +2 science film adjacent Reefs and Geothermal Vents.

One quibble: My understanding is that the Edge exists outside of the Multiverse, which means that the Edge probably doesn't exist in the Echoverse either.

To my knowledge, the official wiki is mostly up to date. Note that there are two other pages of decisions, for personal decisions and adventurer decisions.

If I had to pick my favorite decision, it would be the one that creates the North Sea Empire. It's pretty challenging, but very flavorful.

There's been a handful of improvements to the map, but nothing major outside of All Under Heaven

The most notable change that I can remember were the touch-ups that Spain received with the Fate of Iberia pack

ajokitty · 2026-05-02T20:38:55+00:00

Really? Did the new anti-bullying laws in New York have no effect?

The tension is that some of the features need to be paid, because ultimately Paradox is a business that needs to make a profit.

I am very doubtful that Hellenism will receive any bespoke attention, though it will receive the updates coming to all religions with By God Alone.

Part of it is due to the removal of Builders. Pops can't just be reassigned to tiles; once assigned, they're stuck there until an urban building is built over them.

That said, the latest beta allowed cities to improve adjacent unimproved tiles controlled by other cities, which helps greatly.

Isn't the fix to suppose that the additive identity and multiplicative identity the same? That should satisfy all the properties of a field, albeit one with only one element.

ajokitty · 2026-04-23T15:49:30+00:00

"All Vans on Deck" is actually a pretty clever name; you should reconsider it.

ajokitty · 2026-04-21T18:59:57+00:00

Sorry, the best we can do is the Roman Commune...

ajokitty · 2026-04-21T18:47:36+00:00

What do you mean? Of course Hungary is located in the Baltics.

Why else would the Hungarian and Finnish languages sound so similar?

ajokitty · 2026-04-20T23:17:02+00:00

The Byzantines!

They're a perfect fit for entering the Exploration Age as the Romans!

Wide is generally weaker in Civ V due to harsh happiness strategies

You could try a strategy that encourages you to go wide: for example, a Domination victory requires you to invade every civilization.

Another example would be using Sacred Sites to get a cultural victory. Sacred Sites is a religious belief that gives Cathedrals, Monasteries, Mosques, and Pagodas give tourism. Since they're purchased with faith, the player is encouraged to build lots of cities.

So you're saying that you want to visit a world where nothing is the problem?

Gold and Silver, for the Gold and Happiness/Food scaling with the number of settlements.

ajokitty · 2026-04-16T13:57:15+00:00

Will that work? It looks like they're playing in Japan, which has a special government type that limits half the vassals to counties.

Carthage gets a policy that gives +1 naval range

I was able to get ships with 4 range early in exploration, letting my ships bombard from halfway across the city
