The thing about words is that meanings can twist just like a snake, and if you want to find snakes, look for them behind words that have changed their meaning.
Loving v65, especially loving how my neighbor/trade partners are randomly giving me hundreds of thousands of denarii and hundreds of resources? I mean, they all like me and I've been trading with them so I guess it's foreign aid - only two of them means it's easy to keep them happy, though expansion isn't really in the offing unless one of them collapses (they do keep fragmenting in civil wars, though unfortunately not the one I want to collapse).

Doing a whole "hermit elf kingdom" vibe for my first serious game anyway, and found a great site with mountain on two sides and a huge freshwater lake on a third (complete with a crescent of islands that screamed "future home of Gorgeous Palace District"). Mining resources could be better I guess but it's enough to get by, and fertility is Not A Problem so far, but I'm a bit perplexed by the whole plumbing system - do I actually need to build access to it for the whole city, or is it mostly an irrigation thing?

Also, are there any guidelines on how much of your pop to keep trained? I have about 100 soldiers that can be called up for defense out of 300 pop, and we murdered the first bandit raid with 0 casualties, so huzzah, but I still don't really know much about the army/4X side of this game except that it is what I have always wanted from one of these games and I can't wait to see how it gets polished for 1.0.
