With today's update I decided to start another campaign, but I noticed something strange: Suomi has access to muslim religious structures even though it's a pagan nation. Is this a bug?

Playing as Suomi and Vepsians a few times i've never gotten the option to build surface mining. I was able to build a lead mine after conquering estonia but aside from that i've never had the option of building a mine, surface or otherwise. It's frustrating because religious buildings require copper...

Why can't tribal nations mine iron? Also, why can't tribal nations use surface mining (of any kind(?

Awesome!

Yeah I've played Suomi and Vepsians and neither has access to the Large Temple. Is that a bug?

How do you get the Large Temple building? I haven't seen that yet. By the way, i've figured out a solution for the authority problem.

I appreciate the suggestion! Unfortunately that doesn't solve the problem. Winning battles and taking claims only give small authority boosts, and they quickly drop down to 57 again, or even lower because the more territory you occupy the faster your authority drops. In general it takes at least 5 t...

Regarding Authority: I have the Rajas and Tribes DLC and I've played 200 turns as the Vepsians and 50 turns as the Suomi, and in both cases I've run into situations where it's impossible to get into the upper Authority tier to get progress tokens. In the first case, even after building everything th...
