I will beat you to death

All existing and future units are promoted. :-)

wait... is this promotion for all naval units or just the one?

The promotion is permannent but it will take effect the next turn. In other words if your ship has three moves and circumnavigates on the second move, it does not get an extra move that turn for a total of four.

IS this promotion permanent, ore jsut for one turn?

Winston: It's been awhile since I played Civ5, but I think it just notifies with a scrolling text from the unit that circumnavigates, but then all naval units should get the +1 bonus the next turn.

does it have a promotion logo on the unit?

Winston: I think you just need to have visited all tiles horizontally at some point. The typical way is as you say to send a ship as early as possible. The +1 movement is quite powerful so it is generally worth it for a naval power.

how does this work? it seems that i didn't get it? but i rushed it so early...? is it just around the world? like go left till you reach your city again?

Great mod; I like searching the world so I can be the first host of the world congress, so this is a nice little bonus.

A cheap way to do it is to start a new game in future era with a large map and rush satellites, one of my freinds got it that way." Worked after XML Binary Edit: To fix the Magellan achievement bug, navigate to your steamapps folder and drill down to:

steamapps\common\sid meier's civilization v\Assets\Gameplay\XML

Open GlobalDefines.xml in notepad

Find:

<Row Name="CIRCUMNAVIGATE_FREE_MOVES">
<Value>0</Value>
</Row>
Change the 0 in the tags to 1

I tested on single player, single payer with mods & hot seat with mods using Custom Advanced Setup Screen all offline with success. I got the movement notification & the actual +1 movement on all tests, EXCEPT On hot seat with mods using Custom Advanced Setup Screen mod in which I got the +1 movement for both Human players on the same team BUT NOT the notification. Also, there isn't a promotion icon, it's just obvious looking at default movement that's higher once you build a ship.

This makes me wonder why they didn't add more bonuses for exploring the unknown. Ruins and natural wonders are fine and all, but I always dug gaining gold and putting my name on random map features in Civilization Revolution on the 360. The game often takes a back seat to megalomaniacal world domination. BNW has helped with culture, a little, but exploration just seems that much weaker by comparison.

Donkwando: There's a notification if you're first and one if someone else is first; it's not a typical notification though. It doesn't appear on the side of the screen the way a notification for bombardment does. It's just writing in black on the screen; and it's part of the base game. All this mod likely does is change one number in the code (from 0 to one for the bonus for circumnavigating).
It used to be just part of the game itself but in one of their patches they took away the bonus (which was irritating and which messed up one of the achievements as the achievement is unlocked by getting the bonus).

I'm a little confused. Maybe I've just never been the first to circumnavigate, but I've had this mod active for many games (and tried to be the first one) and never received this reward. Is there supposed to be a notification of some kind for being first? Or a notification if somebody else has beat me to it? Thanks for the help.

like civ 4 lol

good work

Thanks for your work, love it.

many many thanks

Thank you.

@SuperTulle I believe it was a joke about circumcision...

@Tyrant Cage: That's why this is a mod and not something coded into the game. For players who like to explore, this mod is pretty nice, as it gives you a reward for doing just that.

Oh, yes, Tyrant Cage, let's let them grow up and choose - while all through school they'll grow up to be biased towards turtling!
:P
Anyway, that's a neat mod. I might take it for a spin...

I don't know. I really don't believe in forced circumnavigation. I think we should let people grow up and choose for themselves.

Thanks. This is something I missed from Civ IV.

good job

I have actually seen the message a few times in unmodded games, but it is not consistent. Hopefully your mod is :)

Good idea. I seem to remember there being a reward in Civ IV for the first one to prove the earth is round. They already have an announcement in this game. Nice.
