Contact Info...........................[edc] ******************************************************************************* I - Introduction - [qwe] ******************************************************************************* This is my first FAQ, so be gentle! The game, as you know, is Civilization V. This should be a complete guide at the time of posting, though future patches and new information will need to be discussed at some point. Any information I mess up will also have to be fixed, at some point at least! ******************************************************************************* II - New From Civ IV [rty] ******************************************************************************* Civilization V builds on Sid Meier's influential and long-lasting series, Civilization. As a long time fan of the series, I've played and watched the series grow. The series was a 4X game before the term was even coined. The Xs, for those who don't know, stands for "explore, expand, exploit and exterminate." And none of this has changed in the the newest game in the series. Lets first see what isn't in the game anymore. ------------------------------------------------------ A. What's Missing ------------------------------------------------------ -Religion -Corporations -Espionage (no spy units) -Vassal Cities (Check City States, under How to Play [dfg]) -Civics (Check Policies [wsx]) -Health -Pollution ------------------------------------------------------ B. What's New ------------------------------------------------------ -No Stacks Each tile can now only hold a single unit, so long gone are the days of the stacks of doom With that said, combat has also been changed thoroughly, with long range units able to shoot over tiles and onto others. I'll get in greater detail on these in later sections. -Hex Tiles Hex Tiles replace the diagonal rhombuses of previous games. The change is noticeable, yet very positive, allowing for new gameplay possibilities. If this makes no sense to you, just check in game, you'll see each tile has six neighbors. -Policies (Check Policies [wsx]) Policies are the replacement for civics in Civilization V. Look for them in their own section. -City States (Check How to Play [dfg]) City States are the replacement of Vassal system. These have gotten a lot more complex, so check their section for more detail! -Leadership Traits (Check Civilization [pas]) Two new things about Leaders. First, each country only has one leader now (boo). But each civilization now has a Unique Power, and two unique units or buildings. Arabia, for example, has the Camel Rider Unique Unit and the Bazaar Unique Building. It also gets it's power, Trade Caravans, which adds +2 gold per trade route. Check the Civilization section for more detail on each Unique Power, Unit and Building of each civilization. That concludes the major changes, all of which will be explained in depth throughout this FAQ. ******************************************************************************* III - Starting the Game - [uio] ******************************************************************************* In this section, we'll actually get you started on playing! There are five sections for starting a New Game of Civilization V! If this is too much, just Click "Play Now" and get right to Civilization! -Leader This is first section, click on the Leader Button and choose a leader. This screen displays all of the civilizations available to choose. This section shows what Unique Ability, Unit or Building the civilization has. Pick which one you want to play as, or pick Random to have a random civilization selected for you. Once selected, the screen goes back to the Setup Screen. -Map Type You can pick three different types: Continents, Pangaea, Archipelago. Continents, as you could guess, makes an earth-like world with several large land masses. Pangaea creates a single, all-connected land mass. And Archipelago creates a world filled with only islands. -Map Size There are 6 sizes to pick from, and each changes gameplay in a small way: DUEL Default Civilizations = 2, Default City States = 4 Unhappiness Per City = 2, Extra City Policy Penalty = 30% TINY Default Civilizations = 4, Default City States = 8 Unhappiness Per City = 2, Extra City Policy Penalty = 30% SMALL Default Civilizations = 6, Default City States = 12 Unhappiness Per City = 2, Extra City Policy Penalty = 30% STANDARD Default Civilizations = 8, Default City States = 16 Unhappiness Per City = 2, Extra City Policy Penalty = 30% LARGE Default Civilizations = 10, Default City States = 20 Unhappiness Per City = 1.6, Extra City Policy Penalty = 20% HUGE Default Civilizations = 12, Default City States = 24 Unhappiness Per City = 1.2, Extra City Policy Penalty = 15% -Difficulty There are 8 difficulty levels to pick from, starting with the easiest: Settler Chieftain Warlord Prince King Emperor Immortal Deity -Game Pace Here you pick how fast or slow you want the game going. Quick makes everything go faster. Quicker production, research and a quicker game. Standard is Standard, and always recommended for most games. Epic and Marathon elongate every aspect of the game. And if you got to this screen and realize you didn't really want to pick all this stuff, just click Randomize Button. ******************************************************************************* IV - Civilizations - [pas] ******************************************************************************* Each leader, as mentioned, has a unique ability and either two unique units or one unique unit and one unique building. This section will describe all 18 original civs and the extra Babylonian and Mongolian civs. ------------------------------------------------------ A. Leaders and Unique Units/Buildings ------------------------------------------------------ Nation : Arabia Leader : Harun al-Rashid Unit : Camel Archer (Replaces Knight) 2nd Unit: None Building: Bazaar (Replaces Market) Ability : Trade Caravans, +2 Gold from each Trade Route Comments: Poor UU, good Unique Building, but the entire civ is focused on late game and slower expansion, which most people don't ever make it into. Early game civs have too many advantages over this ------------------------ Nation : Aztec Leader : Montezuma Unit : Jaguar (Replaces Warrior) 2nd Unit: None Building: Floating Gardens (Replaces Watermill) Ability : Sacrificial Captives, Gains Culture for the empire from each enemy unit killed Comments: An interesting concept, combining Culture and Bloodshed, but perfect for the Aztec. For beginners, this chance to win with either culture or domination makes the Aztecs very attractive. For anyone else, the bonus to Culture through War just isn't enough to consider them for a straight Culture win. Building and Unit are just okay, nothing more. ------------------------ Nation : China Leader : Wu Zetian Unit : Chu-Ko-Nu (Replaces Crossbowman) 2nd Unit: None Building: Paper Maker(Replaces Library) Ability : Art of War, Effectiveness and birth rate of Great Generals increased Comments: Excellent Unique Building, Good Unique Unit. You should be building extra Libraries anyways, making the Paper Maker a great boost to Gold. The Chu-Ko-Nuis great in both offense and slowing down an enemy, attacking twice from Range. On the other hand, the Ability is pretty useless. Great Generals are the least useful Great People, in my opinion. Most times, you won't need Citadels, and you won't need more than one for the attack bonus. ------------------------ Nation : Egypt Leader : Ramesses the Great Unit : War Chariot (Replaces Chariot Archer) 2nd Unit: None Building: Burial Tomb (Replaces Temple) Ability : Monument Builders, +20% Production speed of Wonders Comments: Maybe it's my previous Civ bias, but Egypt and a world wonders centered Ability is an immediate turn off. Most players should try to stay away from focusing on Wonder Building. At high difficulties, you'll never compete with the AI, even with this ability. For beginners though, it allows you to build all your favorite wonders even faster, yay! The Unique Building, though, is excellent. The Unit is not. ------------------------ Nation : England Leader : Queen Elizabeth I Unit : Longbowman (Replaces Crossbowman) 2nd Unit: Ship of the Line (Replaces Frigate) Building: None Ability : Sun Never Sets, +2 MPs for all ocean-going naval units Comments: England gains movement points on the ocean, and Ship of the Line which are cheaper to produce and better overall. On Archipelago, England is Militarily unstoppable. You'll explore, settle and conquer across the sea faster than anyone else. You have very little in terms of cultural or gold bonuses, so your focus is purely military, and without island or a large amount of water, even that bonus can be negligible. But in the right circumstances, no one can mess with England militarily, making it one of the better civs in the game. ------------------------ Nation : France Leader : Napoleon Unit : Foreign Legion(Replaces Infantry) 2nd Unit: Musketeer (Replaces Musketman) Building: None Ability : Ancient Regime, Provides +2 Culture per City until Steam Power Comments: France is can be an interesting civ if you play your cards right. Musketeers are stronger Musketmen, and can overwhelm an enemy very easily. But the Foreign Legion Comes very late in the game, and the bonus is not all that great. The ability is kind of weak, ending at steam power and being limited in scope. Unless you play to that ability. In advanced strategy, I'll detail ICS (Infinite City Sprawl), in which you essentially build as many cities on as small a plot of land as possible. The culture bonus coupled with this strategy makes France almost broken in culture generation. ------------------------ Nation : Germany Leader : Otto Von Bismark Unit : Landsknecht (Replaces Pikeman) 2nd Unit: Panzer (Replaces Tank) Building: None Ability : Furor Teutonicus, When a Barbarian encampment is destroyed, there’s a 50% chance of gaining 25 Gold and a Barbarian unit joining your side. Comments: Great UUs, though Panzer comes way too late. Landsknecht is an excellent and super cheap unit that can be mass produced very fast. The ability allows a good amount of unit stealing, though is pretty pointless when Barbarians run out. Germany can win early, militarily, or stagger for the rest of the game until the Panzer Tank. ------------------------ Nation : Greece Leader : Alexander the Great Unit : Companion Cavalry (Replaces Horseman) 2nd Unit: Hoplite (Replaces Spearman) Building: None Ability : Hellenic League, City-State influence degrades half as slowly as normal, and it recovers at twice the speed as for other civilizations. Comments: Greece is a mixed bag. Great early-game, probably the best combo of military units for a quick win if I ever saw it. Other than that, the focus is purely on city-states, which in some games can be very overpowered. If you're looking to win militarily early, or diplomatically in the late game, this is the civ for you. ------------------------ Nation : India Leader : Ghandi Unit : War Elephant (Replaces Chariot Archer) 2nd Unit: None Building: Mughal Fort (Replaces Castle) Ability : Population Growth, Unhappiness from number of Cities is doubled, and Unhappiness from total population is halved. Build fewer, bigger cities!) Comments: Decent UU, Bad Unique Building, and a focus on building very large, very productive cities. Honestly, not a terrible civ, but probably my least favorite to play. The unit isn't great, the building is bad, and the ability can be nullified easily. ------------------------ Nation : Iroquois Leader : Hiawatha Unit : Mohawk Warrior (Replaces Swordsman) 2nd Unit: None Building: Longhouse (Replaces Workshop) Ability : The Great Warpath, Units may move through Forest and Jungle tiles as if they were roads when in friendly territory. Comments: Another interesting civ, only really only able to work well on forest and jungle maps. UU is great, UB is amazing for extra Hammers, but the ability is kind of useless when attacking and when you own very little land. Your best bet is to quickly expand over as much land as possible before fighting your opponents. Most AI will immediately cut down as much forest as possible, which kind of nullifies your entire civ. ------------------------ Nation : Japan Leader : Oda Nobunaga Unit : Samurai (Replaces Longswordsman) 2nd Unit: Zero (Replaces Fighter) Building: None Ability : Bushido, Units’ attack and defense strengths remain at full, even when the unit is damaged. Comments: Once you get Samurais, you'll be nearly unstoppable. No matter how injured your army, you will fight at 100% strength, which is amazing to say the least. The Zero comes too late to really matter, but the civ in general is a straight forward military powerhouse. Most veterans will be able to take even the piddliest of armies and conquer their entire world very early. ------------------------ Nation : Ottoman Empire Leader : Suleiman the Magnificent Unit : Janissary (Replaces Musketman) 2nd Unit: Sipahi (Replaces Lander) Building: None Ability : Barbary Corsairs, Whenever you destroy a Barbarian naval unit, there’s a 50% chance of instead converting it to your side and earning 25 Gold. Comments: I find the Ability to be useless, but that's because I tend to wipe out most barbarian camps very early. If you let the game roll on, to the point of capturing battleships, it'll pay off, but I'm not a huge fan. Janissaries are great UU though. ------------------------ Nation : Persia Leader : Darius I Unit : Immortal (Replaces Spearman) 2nd Unit: None Building: Satrap's Court(Replaces Bank) Ability : Achaemenid Legacy, Golden Ages lasts 50% longer. Units receive a movement bonus and a +10% attack and defense strength bonus during a Golden Age. Comments: Persia's Ability is perfect for a Great Person spam style gameplay. If you can focus your entire civilization on building GPs and spawning them constantly, you'll reach a point were you can unleash an extremely long string of Golden Ages, producing insane amounts of units, and having them all attack for greater damage than anyone else. Not necessarily the easiest thing to pull off but very satisfying. Otherwise, middle of the road civ with decent powers. ------------------------ Nation : Rome Leader : Augustus Caser Unit : Ballista (Replaces Catapult) 2nd Unit: Legion (Replaces Swordsman) Building: None Ability : The Glory of Rome, +25% Production bonus when constructing a building (in another city) that already has been constructed in the Capital. Comments: Probably my favorite civ in the game. Legion+Ballista hit harder, faster and better than anything else in the game, and can clean up the game before anyone can consider stopping you. The ability is interesting, forcing you to focus on building production in the capital, but plays together nicely with the Tradition Policy and the early rush to victory. Play Rome for a quicker than usual game. ------------------------ Nation : Russia Leader : Catherine the Great Unit : Cossack (Replaces Cavalry) 2nd Unit: None Building: Krepost (Replaces Barracks) Ability : Mother Russia, Resources provide +1 production, and Horses, Iron and Uranium deposits are doubled. Comments: A good civ for beginners, offerring more resources and better military units and buildings. Honestly, not my favorite, to the point I've only ever played one game with them. ------------------------ Nation : Siam Leader : Ramkhamhaeng Unit : Naresuan’s Elephant (Replaces Knight) 2nd Unit: None Building: Wat (Replaces University) Ability : Father Governs Children, Food and Culture gifts from friendly City-States are increased by 50%. Comments: A great Cultural civ, with a strong medieval UU and UB. The focus is also for the peaceful alliance of many city-states, though I tend to prefer Greece when going for the city-state path. They just do it better and earlier... ------------------------ Nation : Songhai Leader : Askia Unit : Mandekalu Cavalry (Replaces Knight) 2nd Unit: None Building: Mud Pyramid Mosque(Replaces Temple) Ability : River Warlord, Receive double the standard amount of Gold when destroying Barbarian encampments and when pillaging Cities. Embarked units can defend themselves. Comments: A good Building, decent UU, not so good Ability. If you're going the Burn the World strategy, the extra gold allows you to rush more military which can Raze even more cities. ------------------------ Nation : USA Leader : George Washington Unit : Minuteman (Replaces Musketman) 2nd Unit: B17 Bomber (Replaces Bomber) Building: None Ability : Manifest Destiny, increases unit sight and provides a discount on tile cost. Comments: UU are crap, the Minuteman due to a movement glitch, the Bomber due to being way to late in the game to matter. The ability is okay, but I never found tile costs too high to worry about getting a discount before. You might see America as the #1 played civ though, which isn't surprising. You play the civ you find fun, not necessarily the best ones. =P ----------------------------------------------------- -DLC Civs ----------------------------------------------------- Nation : Babylon Leader : Nebuchadnezzar II Unit : Bowman (Replaces Archer) +2 Melee Combat Strength, +2 Ranged Combat Strength 2nd Unit: None Building: Walls of Babylon (replaces Walls) +2.5 Defense, -20 Production Cost Ability : Ingenuity, Free Great Scientist upon invention of Writing. Double rate of generating Great Scientists throughout the game. Comments: Excellent UU, decent UB, great UA. Overall, it sucks that Babylon is only available through that pre-order or whatever. They sound incredible as a GP hoarder, an early rusher or even a culture hog. Too bad I haven't had a chance yet... ------------------------ Nation : The Mongolian Empire Leader : Genghis Kahn Unit : Keshik (replaces Knight) Ranged Unit (cannot directly Melee) with 12 Ranged Combat Strength, 8 Melee Strength, +2 Movement) 2nd Unit: Khan (replaces Great General) 5 movement range, heals adjacent units 2 HP per turn. Building: None Ability : Mongol Terror +30% combat against City-States. +1 movement to mounted units. Comments: Free on DLC right now, so no reason not to pick it up! And finally, a useful Great General. The movement is whatever, but healing units is something I've always missed in the Civ series. So an attack bonus and healing every turn? Get a few Keshiks and they'll never die. The Ability lets you move more with Mounted, which is pretty good, and adds attack against City-States, which is cool but limited in use. ******************************************************************************* V - How to Play - [dfg] ******************************************************************************* Here I'll give you a basic rundown on how to play the game. ----------------------------- A. The Basics ----------------------------- Let's get down to the very basics. Civilization V is a turn-based strategy game. Although there are options to turn the game into simultaneous turn, this guide will only cover the turn-based aspects of the game. Simply, the game begins after you pick your Setup option, or by clicking "Play Now." You start the game with a Settler and Warrior. The Settler allows you to build a city. The game automatically sets you in a good position, so don't be tempted to move your settler anywhere until you have a good idea of how to play. The game is turn based, so you can take your time and look around every turn and decide what's your best course of action. Build military units to explore and build settlers to build new cities. As you explore, you'll notice different terrain types, different resources, and a varied landmass. Resources, as you can imagine, are limited and often fought over, so make your claim on them as quick as possible. All the while, watch your happiness scale, and manage your Science output in different cities. Your best course of action in your first games is to play a small map, easy settings, few opponents, and listening to your advisors. Once you get a good feel for the different options you have, the way to move around and the way to play, then you can move on to harder settings. This FAQ should enlighten you on all the different units, buildings, civs Victory Types, terrain and resources in the game. ------------------------ B. Victory Types ------------------------ The goal, as in most games, is to win. But winning means something different to every person, and to every civilization. Some people win just by reaching the end of the game (2050 AD). In Civilization V, you have 5 methods of winning the game. Domination: Domination is achieved by destroying or capturing every enemy capital in the game. This one can be tricky, as it can only be gained when you are the last remaining civ who still owns their own capital. If you are playing 4 opponents, and capture 3 of their capitals, but the 4th sneaks in and captures yours, that 4th civ will automaticall win. Diplomatic: Diplomacy is a tough art in Civ V. When you reach Globalization, you can build the United Nations wonder of the world. This triggers a voting period, in which every Civ in the world and city-states get 1 vote. As the builder, you get 2 votes. Liberated civs/city-states will always vote for you, so get liberating! Cultural: Cultural is achieved by fully researching 5 Social Policy trees. Once accomplished, you can build the Utopia Project Wonder, which will win you the game. Careful, other civs don't take kindly to such victory! Science: Science victory comes from successfully lauching the first spaceship in the world. You must first build the Apollo Project, and then all the required spaceship parts, move them into your capital, and launch your space shuttle. End of Time: If none of the 4 above are achieved by 2050, the game will still end, and the winner will be the one with the highest score. Don't worry, if you'd like to keep playing post 2050, that option is always available! ------------------------ C. City States ------------------------ City-States are a new concept for Civ V. They are civilization confined to single cities and can not win the game. Their goal is survival and to ally with the strongest and most helpful civilization around. If you help a city-state, they will reward you with bonuses and other goodies. With each city-state, you have an influence meter, which decides how happy or unhappy the city-state is with you. This also affects whether they give you specific missions (with specific rewards). The main reason to be allied with these city-states is for the United Nations win, or the science bonus. There are 3 types of city states: Cultured, Maritime and Militaristic. Cultured City-States provide culture bonuses, Maritime provide food bonuses and Militaristic will provide free military units. ******************************************************************************* VI - Terrain and Resources - [hjk] ******************************************************************************* Each tile is considered one of 9 possible Terrains. Each has a different values for defense and city production. Hills and Mountains count for +25% defensive strength. Crossing rivers is -25% on offensive units. ------------------------ -Coast Food : 1 Hammer: 0 Gold : 1 Move : 1 ------------------------ -Desert Food : 0 Hammer: 0 Gold : 0 Move : 1 ------------------------ -Grass Food : 2 Hammer: 0 Gold : 0 Move : 1 ------------------------ -Hill Food : 0 Hammer: 2 Gold : 0 Move : 2 ------------------------ -Mountain Food : 0 Hammer: 0 Gold : 0 Move : Impassable ------------------------ -Ocean Food : 1 Hammer: 0 Gold : 1 Move : 1 ------------------------ -Plains Food : 1 Hammer: 1 Gold : 0 Move : 1 ------------------------ -Snow Food : 0 Hammer: 0 Gold : 0 Move : 1 ------------------------ -Tundra Food : 1 Hammer: 0 Gold : 0 Move : 1 A tile can also include several other "Features," such as Forest or Flood Plains, further altering the amount of Hammers/Food on gets. Forests and Jungles also provide +25% combat strength. ------------------------ -Flood Plains Food : 2 Hammer: 0 Gold : 0 Move : 1 ------------------------ -Forest Food : 1 Hammer: 1 Gold : 0 Move : 2 ------------------------ -Jungle Food : 1 Hammer: -1 Gold : 0 Move : 2 ------------------------ -Marsh Food : -1 Hammer: 0 Gold : 0 Move : 2 ------------------------ -Oasis Food : 3 Hammer: 0 Gold : 1 Move : ------------------------------------------------------ A. Resources ------------------------------------------------------ Resources sit upon different Terrain and are invisible until the correct technology has been researched. Resources provide immense benefit for your civilization, whether it be a large increase in Gold/Hammers, or access to more powerful military units. Fighting over scarce resources is a must. There are three types: Bonus, Luxury and Strategic. Each requires a certain worker Improvement and a Road in order to give you any benefits. Note: The numbers are bonuses to the terrain. Meaning Cattle (+1) on grassland(+2) gives you a total of +3 Food. ------------------------ Bonus ------------------------ Name : Bananas Food : 1 Hammer: 0 Gold : 0 Base : Jungle Improv: Plantation Name : Cattle Food : 1 Hammer: 0 Gold : 0 Base : Grass Improv: Pasture Name : Deer Food : 1 Hammer: 0 Gold : 0 Base : Forest/Tundra/Hill Improv: Camp Name : Fish Food : 2 Hammer: 0 Gold : 0 Base : Coast Improv: Fishing Boats Name : Sheep Food : 1 Hammer: 0 Gold : 0 Base : Grass, Plains, Desert Improv: Pasture Name : Wheat Food : 1 Hammer: 0 Gold : 0 Base : Flood Plains or Plains Improv: Farm ------------------------ Luxury ------------------------ Luxuries provide a bonus in Happiness, but are singular per resource. Meaning you can be connected to 2 Silk and you would only gain the happiness bonus of having 1 Silk. Having 1 Silk and 1 Dyes would provide a combined bonus. Extra Resouces should thus be traded! Note: A city may request a certain luxury. Providing said luxury sparks a "We Love the Leader Day," which lasts 20 turns and adds +25% to city growth.

Iron can only build only so many swordsman before running out.

The easiest way to see it all is to look at the Tech Tree in game. Otherwise, I've uploaded a tech tree jpg onto Gamefaqs. Just check the main FAQ page and find my other FAQ. Here I'll list the Technology, their Requirements and what it unlocks. The Cost refers to the Beaker cost of the tech. If you are researching agriculture, you see it cost 20 beakers. If you have 2 cities producing 1 beaker a piece, it will take you 10 turns to research it. ----------------------------- A.

Strategy ----------------------------- A few basic strategy can help you maximize your research and get a leg up on your opponents. The first thing to know is that beakers do not "overflow" like they did in the last games. That means that if you are researching Bronze Working at 10 beakers a turn, you'll discover the tech in 6 turns. Normally, the extra 5 beakers (60 beakers research - 55 needed for Bronze Working) would go towards your next research item. To get around these, you need to keep track of each research item and how many beakers these take to research. Then, you need to boost your beaker capacity with some micromanagement. There are several ways to boost Research. The first is Social Policy, like Secularism, which gives increased research power. Secondly, individual cities can be tuned to give off more beakers per turn. Changing a citizen into a scientist allows for greater research capacity. Buildings, such as the University (and working jungle tiles with that building in the city) gives an even greater boost. City States also add to your beaker count. At some point, Research Agreements become an equal or greater way to research new technology. By the Renaissance period, you should be trying to work with other nations to research faster. Actually, at the moment, the system is slightly bugged. If you declare war during an RA, it's supposed to cancel the agreement. For the moment, the tech comes automatically with war. If you don't mind mildly cheating, this can work for you. If you prefer to play for real, you can wait on RAs for the next patch which will hopefully help. Another easy way to get some quick techs is sacrificing Great Scientists. This method is costly, and can be hard to keep up. Great Scientists can be mined themselves, but this takes its own strategy that you need to specifically follow. ******************************************************************************* VIII - Units - [cvb] ******************************************************************************* Here I'll list all the units available in the game. I'll note which ones are UU (Unique Unit), and to what Civilization they belong to. For reference: Cost: production cost for the Unit Type: can be Ranged, Tank, Mounted, Melee, Bomb, Air or Naval. Ranged can attack over units. Tank and Mounted can move after combat. Bomb can only be used once and have a large zone of attack. Air units can not move far from a Carrier or a friendly city. Naval can only stay at sea.

B. Great People
------------------------------------------------------

Great People are produced either through culture, Great People points
or through Combat, depending on the type.  Each city can either generate
a specific kind of GP point (say, scientist), and will produce only Great
Scientist, or can produce points for several great people.  These points
are expended to create a Great Person, who greatly boost your city and overall
civilization.

Each Great Person can either create a Golden Age, construct a special building
or have some special ability.

A Golden Age is a special period of time with greatly increased gold and
productivity.  Each tile which produces gold, produces +1, and each tile
which produces hammers, produces +1 hammers.

These next Great People are produced through each city's Great People points.
They spawn every time you reach the target GP goal.

------------------------------------------------------
-Great Artist

Improvement: Landmark. Provides culture to your city
Ability    : Culture Bomb. Will flip foreign territory into your territory. 
             Place your GA on a tile and that tile and all 6 surrounding will
             immediately join your side.  Cities do not flip, but can as a
             result!

------------------------------------------------------
-Great Engineer

Improvement: Manufactory. Produces a large amount of hammers for a city.
Ability    : Hurry Production. Can hurry production of any building, including
             wonders, and will complete almost all of them in one turn.


------------------------------------------------------
-Great Merchant

Improvement: Customs House. Generates gold per turn for a city.
Ability    : Trade Mission. Great Merchants can be used in a city-state
             to produce a Trade Mission, sacrificing the GM for a chunk
             of gold and a boost to your relationship.

------------------------------------------------------
-Great Scientist

Improvement: Academy. Produces a large science boost for a city.
Ability    : New Tech.  Immediately learn a new tech.



The Great General is a unique GP.  Rather than produced through a city as
all the other GPs are, Great Generals are produced through combat. When a 
unit of yours gains XP, it goes towards your GG points. Once you reach
a certain amount, a Great General will spawn.

------------------------------------------------------
-Great General

Improvement: Citadel. Works only in your territory. Huge defensive bonus to
             a unit occupying it. Harms enemy units occupying it.
Ability    : Comabt Bonus. Provides combat bonus for every friendly 
             unit up to 2 tiles away.


Two important things to note.  All the Great People, including the General,
are non-combat and thus can stack with combat units on a tile. If captured,
they are immediately destroyed.
