All the civilizations in the game are stereotyped, this is a consequence of the game mechanic: you get 2 uniques per civ and then the leader has some special ability. So there are unique 3-4 traits at maximum for each civilization, which pretty much will have to create a flavor for that civ. As...

To be honest the game had some good scenarios, but the problem is they were never updated to benefit from the latest patches and expansions. If they had gotten an official deluxe version like Conquest of the New World almost all of them could have been good. The ones that could not have been...

I highly recommend this scenario it is very entertaining and challenging. I learned to play on Deity just so I could play this at higher level and get the achievements. I also like the twist which is quite unique for civ 5.

Why would they need to take out civilizations from the game? They could just add more, a thing they are currently doing in 6. I wouldn't mind if there are 200 playable civilizations in the game, it just means that there is more content and play time. There is no need to remove civilizations like...

I think that was a bug in civ5 vanilla, and since this scenario does not have the GNK and BNW expansions, this it is not patched.

Is there a list of in-game changes that came with the launcher patch? I was not aware that the game itself was changed in any way.

I would also add the Mongols as a potential world dominating civ here, since they also have one of the best units in the game. Spain can be very OP with some Natural wonders nearby and it also has great UUs, the Tercio is pretty much a tank, and the conquistador has no penalty attacking cities...

This is actually known a bug, and reloading can help you in that situation. I think you can do some tricks with IGE mod if you really want to continue. There is another bug related to trading cities: if the AI offers you a city and you take the deal, then that city will not be able to work it's...

Yes Daegu was the reason for the slowdown. That was a combination of poor exploration (I thought that I could go SE of Jeonju but that spot was occupied by a city state) and being out of hand. I ended up with an extra settler and planted the city there. It has only the two fish and the cow for...

Oh, I see now :) I hope I have the time to finish this game, and then make a write-up for it, so far things are pretty interesting. Here is a screnshot of the current situations

Is that the new save game? I started this game a while back but

Have you tried Small Continents Plus? I have been recently playing some games on this map, and I notice that the landmasses are not that large (sometimes you are alone in a 3-4 city island). The game is slower than Continents because the terrain is weaker but it provides a decent land/sea ratio.

This also happens if you play with the eastern rome, because the AI is stupid and will do stuff like that. The real problem in difficulty is one of geography. The western roman empire is just a lot better protected while eastern is exposed on all sides. Since the AI is very weak at troop...

I have never played them before BNW but they are not that hard. The Vikings scenario can be won in less than 40 turns with every civ (with Norway it's a little harder as you need to rush for London). Unfortunately both the mongols and the vikings scenarios are based on the vanilla game and have...

They actually upgraded one scenario, Conquest of the New World. It is I think the most interesting one and it has a built in advanced start, so new cities will have higher population and start with buildings like granaries, monuments, etc. Another good one is Into the Renaissance, this one does...
