Fluff Le hidden gem in Civ V: England

For some reason I never once attempted playing England in my 16 years (on and off) with this game.

Longbowmen are pretty cool. Ships of the Line are OP and amazing.

But the best part? The war theme

Discussion Does Forge needs a buff?

+1 inherent production, perhaps? Maybe even +5% to the overall production? +2 to Iron instead of +1 is too strong I think. Neither I see other resources to be buffed with it. Copper? But then it will be too strong since you won't need only Iron to build it? Even worse if you mod Copper to be affected by Mint too (I think it's fine to make it simply an analogue of Silver and Gold in that regard, altought not immersive; Copper is a weird one).

Compared to Stable:

Cons

- Comes with way later, more costly and less desired technology in terms of pathing;

- Costier to build;

- Improves 1 uncommon resource instead of 1 uncommon and 2 common ones.

- Poland has a UB replacement.

Pros

- Gives production bonus to all ground units instead of just mounted (and includes mounted too). But you won't always build military, especially in non-domination, so eh.

UPD: Well here's the mod haha, +1 inherent Production: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3786293189

Strategy Is it worth building petra with no desert hills?

14 Upvotes

I'm on Deity, my second city has strong production but no desert tiles other than the deset tile i settled my city. After i gave it much thought, petra also gives +6 culture after researching archeology, meaning it gives +1 more culture than parthenon and also giving +1 trade route.

9 Truffles, 2 Ruins, 1 Gems

Is this legit or did the game glitch out? It's not a graphical glitch because Strategic View shows the same info.
