    Era bonuses question

    do the era bonuses work only for the era that they are for or do they work in that era and every era thereafter? for example, rome gets 1/2 price roads in the aincient era. do they still get half price roads in the medeval era or do they go back to full price? i know i could test this but i cant get to an xbox now. thanks!

    They work for the era they are given to you AND every era after that.

    pretty sure it's only for the specific era. THe bonuses kinda are the same for what was the status of that specific empire in the real world. for example, the mongols ancient bonus is barbarian cities become theirs. In real life's ancient era they were the most successful empire mankind has seen. but later on the empire fell, and so im sure that's why the bonuses changed.

    the bonuses are stackable. but in the case of say, mongolia, while you can capture and convert barbarians in modern day, realistically there will be none left!

    I remember seeing a barbarian village in the later part of the game. Is the game removing the villages at a certain age or could they still be there if noone found them? There are still tribes in the world today that are not aware of the modern civilization so they shouldnt be removed imo.

    In the demo I reached the modern era but still found a few isolated villages on islands.

    Other than that, all the villages on the mainland where gone by the end of the medieval era.

    So its possible, but honestly, how much is a 1 population city in the middle of nowhere going to help that late in the game?

    when you first start the game do you have all the bonuses right off the bat or do you gain them as you advance
