Austria is super-duper-overpowered.  That is all.

Is buying city states cheap?
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

Yes, just 500 gold after allying them.  In return, not only do you get a city in pristine condition, but you also get all its military units.

For me personally, the biggest hurdle to overcome in most Civ games I play is to get over the initial hump of getting enough cities.  Once I hit a critical number to provide me with enough gold and science, the steamroller starts up and it's all over for everyone else from that point on.  With Austria, you can crank that steamroller that much earlier, by just buying up the cities on the cheap during a period where you would normally be desparetely trying to beat back the AI and break its back.

basically twice as much as a settler?

I don't know what a settler costs, I rarely if ever buy them.  But, in any case, just one of the half-dozen units you'll get will already cover the expenditure.

500 to bag the city?  Sounds way too cheap...often costs that much or more just to get to friendship.

Yes, buying the alliance usually costs much more than that, but you can catch a break with that by destroying barbarian camps and such.  However, once you have the alliance, it really is just a 500 gold click to get the city permanently.

A few missions, a bit of cash and a well placed spy and the city is yours. The city's army enables you to do more missions and the city's income gives you more cash, your spy goes to the new city a bingo, you got another one.

in my present india game I got 6 bonus happiness from religion per city, that basically pays for the city cost. With the population costing half in happiness I basically got a wide and tall civilisation. Went freedom for the reduced food for specialists and went full great person for all the cities and built the utopia project by 1550.

I like the new upgrades, but there seem to be some opportunities for powergaming that have not been quite explored. Stacking abilities seems to be much more profitable than generalizing.

I got far enough to found the Jaronian Way religion.  The whole embarkation thing is cool.  Just send a few warriors island hopping. 

Anybody notice weird little delays? he Unit Needs Orders remains after I give orders, and sometimes sits there for 10 - 20 seconds before letting me go to the next turn.
PDH!

The problem with Spain is that it's full of Spanish.  :menace:

The initial invasion force. It is beautiful.  :cry:



The final assault on Madrid. Comrade Martinus leads his men to battle.



The cleansing begins in the Spanish Military District. Gauleiter Ed Anger starts with Barcelona.
