When a wonder expires (say stonehenge) do you lose the great people points it generates each turn too in addition to the other effect? (i.e. in addition to losing free monument/obelisk in each city do you also stop getting the +2 gpp)

Pretty sure you don't lose the GPP when the wonder expires.

Thankyou. Very useful to know forwonders that quicly expire. At leat they still retain some value. I find that calendar can be reached so quickly that Stonehenge would often otherwise not be fruitful.

All the different leaders have a favorite civic. Does anything special happen when a civ is using their favorite civic or is telling the favorite civic just background fluff?

Bleh. It just applies for single player. If you are running the AI's favourite civic they like you more.

Ah, their favorite civic for another civ to have. Thankyou

Ok, a few more questions.
1. We all know now that circumnavigating the globe gives you +1 Naval movement. Crazy question, but has anyone ever seen this happen on a a flat map? I wonder if you sailed from 1 side to the other if it would do it, or if you would have to start and end at (what would otherwise be adjacent tiles.
2. I too would like to know what WLTKD does and how it is triggered.
3. Upgrading units. If I have a warrior with City Raider 3 and upgrade him, do i lose CR123? What happens to him?
4.To bombard (not attack) am I crazy in thinking that cats dont do it out of the box? They have to have barrage? Or am I just somehow missing the button. I am talking about reducing the city culture before any units fight at all.
5. If you have a forge and are in bureaucracy is it multiplicative or additive? I have several questions on this line.
For example, Say I have bureau and a forge in my cap. Say I also have a monastery, a library, and an academy. Now I build science.
Do the shields get the forge and Bureau applied before they are turned into bulbs? After that do the bulbs get bureau and library and monastery and academy applied to them?
Bulbs from a scientist. Do they get multiplied by the lib/academy/monastery? Bulbs from a resident Great Scientist. Do they get the ponuses applied?
I would really like to understand how all the production and scientific bonuses add up when "building" tech with hammers.
Thx.

On expiration.
Also, monuments can make people happy. When calendar hits, does it just mean you cant build any more? Or does it aso mean that the people stop liking (and start defacing) their monuments?
Does the monument happiness effect continue. Does the culture? I am guess I am just trying to get at what expiration "really" means.

Another, Forge. +1 happy gems, gold, silver +1 for each one? I.e. can you get +3 Or is it just +1 even if you have all 3?

2. Not sure what WLTKD is.
3. Upgraded units keep promotions even if that unit cant get them naturally.
4. To bombard city hit the bullseye button
5. Forge + bureaucracy = +75% shield output. Library + monastery + academy = +85% beaker output

When you build science or gold, each hammer becomes a single gold or beaker and is modified as normal hammers are. Say you have 8 base hammers and a forge, that city will build 10 gold per turn. Gold and science modifiers don't make any difference. This was a change in Warlords.

I would really like to understand how all the production and scientific bonuses add up when "building" tech with hammers. Thx. These are great questions, but you could find a lot of the answers simply by checking the civilopedia or the manual . 1. No you can't circumnavigate a flat world. 2. "Cities of size 8 and higher which have no unhappy citizens and no food loss to health can wnter "We love the King Day" from time to time. The effect is that the city pays no maintenance for one turn." 3. He keeps his upgrades. That's a meaty axe. I think when you upgrade a unit they will keep upgrades up to level 3. So CR3 would be the max. Necrom' answered 4 and 5. Scientists and Great Scientists get science bonuses (e.g. +25% from library) applied. Another, Forge. +1 happy gems, gold, silver +1 for each one? I.e. can you get +3 Or is it just +1 even if you have all 3? +1 for each one as well as the +1 in the normal way, so gold, gems and silver with a forge gives +6 . On expiration. Also, monuments can make people happy. When calendar hits, does it just mean you cant build any more? Or does it aso mean that the people stop liking (and start defacing) their monuments? Does the monument happiness effect continue. Does the culture? I am guess I am just trying to get at what expiration "really" means. Well this +1 happy from monuments is only when you have the charismatic trait. I guess you knew that. It seems you do lose the happiness with calendar, which kinda sucks. I was sure you lost the culture, but I was just checking it and now I'm not sure . If you have henge and you research calendar you lose all the free monuments, they just disappear. May be someone else can give a better answer. Hope this is helpful. Keep those questions coming.

Okay, got another.
I was playing SP the other day and the AI build a city adjacent to a cat and mace I had. Since we had closed borders it immediately booted the cat and mace. I had another unit that was adjacent to this new city's border. It moved in to declare war and then - tada!!! In the instant that war was declared, my mace and cat were magically teleported right back adjacent to the city. I attacked with the mace and cat and destroyed the city.
Is this situation normal? And if so....does it happen in MP? I was amused by it all.

Anyone know how the value of a scientist is calculated!
And what formula is used to calculate the rate at which its value is increased?
I have a sneaky feeling it done accoding to the date!

I presume u mean the amount of beakers a great person will give for bulbing a tech. If so then it depends how many pop in ur civ. the bigger ur civ (in population) the more beakers are given.

2. Not sure what WLTKD is. WLKTD = "We Love The King Day" When a city is size 8 or greater, and completely healthy and happy, there is a chance the city goes into WLTKD for 1 turn. During the WLTKD turn that city pays no maintenance fees.
