- There is exhaustion without a warning that I had seen.

But e.g. the Warrior shouldn't have a pike, maybe just a stick.

I found another issue(bug?):
Luxuries are often quite high even without entertainers
when Luxuries rating is set to zero.
Under Anarchy one of my cities was celebrating a WLTP day.

Are there any thoughts about implementing diplomacy for the AI players?
