I'm amused by Rinks providing food. Those hot dog stands are working hard.

Also missed a beat by not having Hockey rink double as military production facility. Ever seen hockey riots?

Well, you can, but speaking as someone who lives in Dallas, rinks here are hard to maintain during the summer for obvious reasons.

Civilization Ability: Mit'a

  • Mountain tiles can be worked for +2 production

  • Mountain tiles gain +1 food per adjacent Terrace Farm

Leader Ability: Qhapaq Nan

  • Domestic trade routes provide +1 food for every mountain in their origin city.

Unique Improvement: Qhapaq Nan

  • Has all the movement advantages of a Mountain Tunnel, can be built with a Builder charge

  • Can be built with the ancient-era Foreign Trade civic instead of the usual modern-era Chemistry technology.

Unique Unit: Warak'aq (Replaces the Skirmisher)*

  • 40 ranged strength, up from 30

  • May attack twice in a turn if movement points are remaining.

Unique Improvement: Terrace Farm

  • Can be placed on grass, plains or desert hills (but not tundra or snow hills).

  • +1 food, +1 housing per two Terrace Farms (this doesn't appear to be the same as getting +0.5 housing like a regular farm)

  • +1 food per adjacent mountain

  • +2 production per adjacent Aqueduct

  • +1 production if adjacent to fresh water but not an Aqueduct

  • (Gains extra yields with later technologies/civics)

The Inca has stole Hannibal's thunder. [lol][lol][lol]

On a more serious topic, Inca is awesome so far. The Warak'aq seems a bit OP, though...

I'm not as witty as I think I am. It's a scientifically-proven fact.

Jeezus Crikey. The "buy everything with gold" civilization we didn't know we wanted, but is what we needed.

I like how some of these civilizations really go after a change in basic play style.

I’m imagining Musa literally constructing buildings, improvements and even units out of gold coins.

This is pretty much what I expected from Mali, particularly Musa. A Civ that was just all of the money, all of it. If we ever get Sundiata Keita as a second leader, I’d expect his focus to be acquiring gold to feed a military.

I cannot wait for Door Monster to make a skit out of this.

I imagine this is what it's like to go to war as Mansa Musa.

We must never doubt or question the evil that is Gandhi. He's pleased I keep the peace but he's scared that I'm threatening, so he declares war. Madness, pure madness.

My favorite is how "I am going to flex my power over you by demanding free resources" operates off of how much the AI hates you rather than how strong their military compares to yours.

So you have silly scenarios like your warmongering hordes sweeping over the entire continent, building up a massive empire that dwarfs every other nation in size and military power, yet Gandhi and his two measley cities on a crappy peninsula sees fit to accost you for some cacao under penalty of war.

"My demands must be met."
