Civilization – considered a continent? – eg for Indonesia’s Spice Islanders bonus

civilization-5civilization-5-brave-new-world

Gajah Mada (Indonesia) gets the Spice Islanders bonus.

The first 3 cities founded on continents other than where Indonesia
started each provide 2 luxury resources (and can never be razed).

What is considered a different continent for these purposes?

My guess would be it has to be separated by ocean, but it could be that just a coastal sea separating landmasses is enough.

Best Answer

A coastal sea separation is enough - my second city is on an island separated by coastal waters and I've got 2 Nutmeg as a result.

Note that the resource appears on the same spot as the city.

Civilization – Do railroads on a different continent give the production bonus

If your harbor is connected via railroad to your capital, the harbor connection counts as a railroad. You'll have then to lay railroads from your harbor on the other continent to any inland cities.

In the following example B,C and D would receive the bonus, E would not.

                   ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 
|A|============|B|~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~|C|===========|D|
                   ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~  |
                                  `------------|E|

In the next example no city would receive the railroad bonus.

                   ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
|A|------------|B|~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~|C|===========|D|
                   ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~  |
                                  `------------|E|

As DMA57361 pointed out, if the capital has a harbor, any other city with a harbor automatically receives the railroad bonus. In the next example, C and D receive the bonus, E does not.

                   ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
               |A|~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~|C|===========|D|
                   ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~  |
                                  `------------|E|

Legend:

 A : capital
 = : railroad
 - : road
 ~ : ocean

Civilization – Does the bonus from the Great Lighthouse stack with England’s bonus

Yes. There's no real reason it shouldn't stack in the first place. England makes it easy to get triremes with 7 movement, which is sorta ridiculous.
