Just something quick I wondered about – is there a forum/type of thread where off topic is okay? In other words, conversations are allowed to develop naturally in various directions as they do IRL? Kind of a “casual” subforum/board? I understand the need for keeping on topic in some cases, but sometimes it feels rather a shame to quell interesting asides like some good old discussion of Genghis Khan history 
Anyway, I did have a thought on topic based on the whole nomadic playstyle idea. I think @SteveAdamo has a good point when he says,
but I do think it might be reasonable to have different kinds of “buffs” for nomadic playstyle as well, that are relevant to that sort of life. Like the
mentioned by @Swift_Cube. These buffs might be fewer or weaker to represent inherent difficulties in such lifestyles, but might also be unique so that for certain goals, it might yet be a good idea to go the nomadic route.
Just a thought, of course. I know the game is intended to be a citybuilder, so perhaps nomadic life is just not in the cards… but it seems like something that the engine could handle fairly well and that could be added relatively easily for those who do like that sort of thing.
