The neutral can have 50 reputation in all the civs and so can use freely the new horizon transports in all the civs. Moreover, a neutral can have all the cities tp free too with 50 reputation in all civilization with the Citizen of Atys title (i am not sure if it's only capital or all the cities).
Say what? My civ fame is 50 in all -- and I have no title, and the tp's in the cities cost the same they ever did. I'm not sure what you're talking about here.
Now, the free rapid-transit pass is a nice benefit, but "Neutral" is just as much a role-play choice as is adherence to a civilization or to a religion (or no civ and no religion in the case of the marauders).
I think that Daomei is right that the NH missions penalize the neutral aligned, especially the low level neutral aligned, who are the ones who need the dappers. I think he is wrong to be concerned about Civilization Points at all, but then I'm weird that way.
