In order to acquire the technology that any 2 other nations have, do you
have to have contact with those nations? I am the Japanese this time. I
started on a large island. Had 7 or 8 cities by the time I was able to cross
the ocean with a galley and find a continent (China, India). China seemed
moderately defended, so kept my small army away from them. They did declare
war after I failed to pay them the gold and technology they were demanding,
but failed to muster any offense to back their threat. Since they moved some
units to the east, to defend against me, it seems (I assume they realize
that I won't let their threat go unanswered), I sent an even smaller army
(by galley) to attack from the west. This meant having to move some units
through India, who I was hoping to have peace with. It was only for 2 turns,
the first turn they seemed bothered and I told them that I'd move them, but
the 2nd turn left me with no choice, as my units would be automatically
moved. I spent too much time getting them there, so just selected "That's
all. Goodbye," at which point they declared war as well. I wiped them out
pretty easily, and then started pecking away at China (taking a few losses).
Army size is now bigger, so I'm hitting them from both sides (east, west).
I'm also pillaging their infrastructure and cutting off their iron supply.
Science is growing slowly, as I am supporting too many troops. I thought by
now I would be getting more advances from the Great Library though (there
are 5 others who I have no contact with yet). Is there a way to be assured
that the Great Library is functioning properly?
Question #2: I fortify an injured unit within enemy territory. He is not
attacked, but he does not seem to heal. Is this correct? Outside enemy
territory heals okay, but not for boats (even if fortified in
non-territorial waters). What's the difference?
Thanks in advance.
