I found that Ashoka, the Renouncer, is in a significantly better situation where there are limited happiness penalties even if the settlement count goes significantly high. Augusta's happiness penalty was very high. I mean, I'm only talking about scenarios where the settlement count has gone beyond the limit. Augusta's is good to get an additional settlement limit through Corona Civica. Still, apart from that, I found Ashoka to be much better for a high settlement count without happiness penalties.
Thanks for sharing the YouTube live link, pretty cool listening to the thinking behind it.
I misspoke. I meant Rome. It was with Teddy and Rome that I got 11 cities in the Ancient Era. I usually don't push the limits to avoid penalties.
In the video you sent me, they're talking about releasing a new patch today or tomorrow. I'm looking forward to the quick movement feature and the trade lens feature, which allows me to directly send a merchant to a city without having to locate the city on the map and click. The quick movement feature will help me progress through the game a lot faster. It's nice to see that they talk about all of the changes that they're making and the reasoning behind them.
Those features were available in version 6, I don't get why this one doesn't have them from the start. The most anticipated option is 'play one more turn', at least at the end of the modern era.
You're doing pretty good for a newbie. Augustus is the way to go for more cities without penalties, I managed 11 in the Ancient Era. I'm down for a war, but I rarely declare it. I like the scout to see opponents on my continent early to set up my cities.
