And once a wonder is built somewhere in the world you must change the production orders of any other city that's building that same wonder. In other words you can't have four cities still building Bach's Cathedral after it's been completed. Some players used to do this so that they'd be ready to switch over to a new wonder once it becomes available.


Firaxis is cracking down on cheating.

-Roman leaders are Trajan or Hadrian
-American leader is Washington

It appears over some of the cities that there's smog building up, specifically, Rome, Elphantine, Ravenna, and Neopolis, does this signify pollution or factories? Pretty cool either way though, the map reflecting the actual situation of a city like that.

The governor screen has all the option one could hope for. You can definitely zoom in and out. Something I was unsure of.

It's not for gunpowder, so much as for saltpeter, a key ingredient in early gunpowder formulas
