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.

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:

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

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 That's out-of-date!!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 don't know, but looking at the screnshots they seem plentiful. I do know that resources are only found in certain terrain types. You can only find Rubber in forests and jungles, for example.

Thanks for the resource requirements list.

I hadn't realized that the special resources would be required for so many things. It will be practically be a game within a game and a damn interesting one at that.

I would imagine that the resources are somewhat scarce otherwise it becomes pointless. We will likely be able to adjust resource availability as well.

There's a space in the editor where you can adjust how many resources there are in the game. It's done on a per-civ basis, so if you are playing a 16-civ game there would be more of each resource than on a 3-civ map, even if the map is the same size. I think the default is one of each resource per civ but it doesn't say specifically.

City walls only provide a defense bonus of 50%, and disappear once your city reaches size 7. Size 7-12 cities have an inherent defense bonus of 50%, and cities larger than 12 have an inherent bonus of 100%.

So after size 6 you can't build anymore city walls? Or do you just have to build new ones after that because the city is too large?

This sounds much more realistic, I never liked the idea of an ultra modern 21st Century city with City Walls.
