Hmmm, I have a feeling the Empire is going to steamroll this game, I´m sure it could steamroll any single faction as it is, we´ll see how things progress.
Also, I must confess I have never really known how happiness works, that is, what effects city celebrations have on production and such. Anyone fill me in on that or point me to where I can find this information?
In other news, I´m bee-lining the tech tree for trade units, look forward to get some profitable trade going with whomever is interested.
