You know, having now seen the creations of massive walking leviathans, Mammoth Cavalry and all other sorts of of wondrous animals, I am beginning to realise that I was being a little unambitious with waterproof sheep.

By my count, 1 person has researched Animal Breeding on turn 4 and 4 people have researched Animal Breeding on turn 5.

Everyone after that is invalid, I guess.

To be fair, I'm tossing up between having them and having leviathans :P. Also, http://happyhikerllamas.com/images/375_ ... -swims.jpg

I don't blame you, though, the llama is my favourite pack animal. Frankly, if there was still a slot left, and you hadn't taken them, I was considering either llamas or combo sea eagles/gulls (for falconry and guano).

Eh, the Leviathans are more flavor than utility. I think they're more useless than most land animals so far in mechanical terms.

At the moment, with my Animal Husbandry having been finished on Turn 5, I have a as of yet unnamed (basically a camel) animal that provides +2 food with a HERD (1 pop needed) this can be changed if needed, since I'm only using 3/5 of my population. (Presuming any other animal provides at least 1 food)

I also have researched PROPHECY.
I'm doing a religion that is somewhat similar to Confucianism. My thoughts so far for a structure:
LEARNING CENTER: Costs X minerals to build. Provides +1 Science (All or Illiterate?) with one pop working. Provides X culture. 1 max per province.

Thoughts Hark?

If this isn't possible, my other thoughts would be around culture and food.


Max 1 LEARNING CENTER Per faction and I think its good, with say, 1 Culture added?
It would be nice if the religion had some background story though.

I can easily do more background story. Sounds good otherwise, any thoughts on mineral cost (if any?)

If I read the Population mechanics correctly, you can spawn one Pop per turn base, but gain one more potential Pop spawn for every five Pop you have. So since I have five Pop then, I think that's legitimate.

I thought so too, but apparently you can only spawn two if you have more than 9 pop.

It's in the Divitia tab. He explains the math just like you did, but his example says that 0-9 Pop gives you one every turn.

I presumed that was one on top of the regular one, but I suppose that doesn't make sense. Thanks for pointing that out :P

The initial idea was that you get 1 pop growth for every 5 pop, but then some pointed out that having less then 5 pop means 0 growth.

So, its 1 growth for every 5 pop, but there is also a minimum of 1!

1 growth at 1-9, 2 at 10-14 is 2 growth, and so on according to the Divita tab.

I don't blame you, though, the llama is my favourite pack animal. Frankly, if there was still a slot left, and you hadn't taken them, I was considering either llamas or combo sea eagles/gulls (for falconry and guano).

Do you have any stats for waterproof sheep yet?


Yeah, With one manpower they can be ranched, and the ranch can either produce 2 Food or 2 Fur, which can then be transformed into wealth in a workshop. You can just have them too, if you'd like. Everybody gets a fur coat.

Interesting. I mean, I wouldn't be too mad about that, but G-Tech's leviathans are just better for me because +1 Fertility /also/ gets me a Culture from the farm. And I don't need boats if I have 'em. The wealth is /super/ interesting, though - that's a double efficiency mine, once you get two workshops up.

Personally, though, I would have made it 1 Fur that creates 2 Wealth in a workshop - two workshops is sorta expensive when you can't use Furs to build with.
