Just popping in to second the request for the Dao and Palatinate, though mostly the Palatinate in my case.

I could be misunderstanding, but how do cities gain happiness from the religion if it doesn't exist as an actual religion? Cities can't have the religion, so how does the game recognize that the citizens should be happier? Comparing the happiness between my capital with theocracy and my capital...

The Scions should have a civ-specific religion, I think, or at least a civic that mimics a state religion. Something with a snazzy Latin name, since the civ seems to be one big imperial cult. I mean, theocracy would make sense as a civic for the Scions, maybe more than God-King, but it's useless...

Sure, you could build towns. My suggestion doesn't remove anything from the game. My reasoning is that plantations can provide a middle-ground of sorts between towns and farms, providing more commerce than a farm, less than a town, but more food than town, but less than a farm. All I'm really...

I posted this in the questions and requests thread, but this seems like the correct thread for it. It's not really an issue of balance, buuuut... "This is a tad bigger than a 'small request,' but I'll ask anyway. I like how Orbis gives the player a chance to discover resources if a plot is...

This is a tad bigger than a 'small request,' but I'll ask anyway. I like how Orbis gives the player a chance to discover resources if a plot is upgraded. What's odd to me, however, is that when a farm is built, there is a chance of discovering plantation resources. If one chooses to take...

I like this. If it's possible, it would be interesting if the Clan were given a chance to steal a random non-military technology known to their enemy but not them whenever they raze a city. This way, they're not horribly hindered. Maybe an additional penalty to their research rate to compensate...

The Prophecy of Ragnarok no longer grants an extra hammer per priest. You can probably skip that.

I find that the excessive dogpiling is terrible for my diplomacy rationgs. Often every turn I have people asking me to declare war, and when I don't, I recieve the normal penalty. Would it be possible to reduce the duration of this penalty? Unless you're lowering the dogpile function...

Oh, yeah. I was playing Arcanum a few days ago. My bad.

I was pleasantly surprised to find Arcanum among the artists. If you add any more music to the soundtrack, might I suggest Sophia? It's a side project of one of Arcanum's members. Some of the earlier stuff has a militaristic sound, which might be fitting for the game. Mostof it has a sound...

Well, it stands out, but not in a bad way. The +2 hammers to priests is powerful, especially if such a wonder was available to Hyborem. Imagine a 100 pop city with unlimited priests, Unyielding Order and 3 extra hammers per priest. Yeah, that's crazy. Anyway, even if the bonuses were slimmed...

I'd like to see something like the tiered religious buildings in vanilla Civ4. Cathedrals and such. A nice religious network would be cool. What about a string of wonders analogous to the Altar of the Luonnotar, but for evil civilizations? Playing Hyborem, I find myself envious of its...
