That will give us some really nice yields. I’ve got a lot of coastal tiles. Yes, I think I’ll do that.” Meanwhile I’m on Prince difficulty and making 50x more mistakes 😂

22:56 You can active the scout lens for all military units in the More Lenses settings (you know, the one where you always deactivate the builder lens). Very useful while you are scouting with other military units (or longships), so you don't miss tribal villages.

[@rpontonjr]

Potato, why don't you check the promotions on your Apostles? You only need 3 charges to evangelize or launch an inquisition, so if you get the the promotion with +2 or +3 charges those are *free spreads at Apostle strength* you can use before evangelizing. If you get Debater, you can curbstomp all of the AI's missionaries which a) is the best ROI on spreading your own religion and b) makes the AI spend more faith buying more missionaries and less on great people. And being able to convert barbs can be *hugely* helpful, sometimes. At least check what promotions they have before using them.

I always felt like the Viking Longship should be able to somehow travel along rivers in the game, considering that was one of the huge advantages of them. would be so cool

[@piersonjamesa]

Ships up rivers in general is my big request for civ 7, i made a map where all the rivers were instead 1 coast tile for like 4-5 and it completely changed how i played the game. It does require the bridge mod though or else it can be a bit slow in the late game. But frigate bombardment up the river was spectacular and made having ships way more critical, kinda like old world.
