When in doubt, declare war and deal with the consequences. A destroyer or two can really clean up the flotilla of apostles coming over the water when that's the case. Non-violent answer? Go back ten turns, pop a handful of inquisitors and purge the coast. Just have a handful of them ready again...

Do I just search Planas in the workshop for the mod? That sounds like exactly what I want!

I'll check that out. If the tech has been slowed by that mod then manipulating the turn progression is in a separate xml file which would allow basically a cut paste from Marathon to Standard giving me the timeframes I wanted without the lack of stuff to do. I'll check it out, thanks!

Another thought I had or code I'd wonder about is if there is a "tech cost" specific modifier?

Is there any way to manipulate Epic and Marathon to not be as brutal without affecting the progression of technology? I have looked at the XML file, and it would appear that you cannot detach the tech and civic progression from the build costs as you could in Civ V. I do not know enough about...

I cherry picked civs for my TSL game. I wanted to give everyone two or more starting city areas, but also tried to limit it to two per "old world" continent. Has anybody tried a "one per continent (two per Asia)" TSL? I was considering it to see how it would play. China, Scythia, Germany...

In my first domination victory, I took logistics, and it became almost central to my strategy. I would take my first city from an enemy and use the extra movement I gained (since it was now MY territory) to save a turn of positioning. The extra healing was one huge benefit, but it also allowed...

What were the starting build orders overall? I've been doing scout > slinger > builder > settler, but it would be interesting to track what the first item or first four or five items were per a chart like above.

OR Reduce horseman movement to 3 per previous iterations of Civ. They'd still be able to attack that archer on the same turn they see him on the hill, but they wouldn't be able to move through hills and then again through hills, completely avoid ZoC, etc. etc.

Overall, the problem you'll face is that 9 tiles in a city dedicated to food (yes you get 3 housing, but you can get 4 from ONE tile) is a bit much later in the game. Add to that the difficulty of getting nine tiles without a conflict in general (resource, mountain, hill before hill farming...

I would say you should take the farm "triangle" over the stepwell. If you have room you can add stepwells along the edges of that farm in order to further improve it. A crude visualization where S is stepwell and F is farm (disregard the periods) ..S .FF SFS

Per my understanding this is the case for all great people.

RE: late game cities... I've found that if I have around 2000 gold banked, I can get a city running very quickly in the late game by buying a monument, granary, builder, and water mill (if location allows). Use the builder to chop out a dock, a commercial district, and two traders, and that...

The differing religion penalties more than counteract that, but if you're dealing with a theocracy of the same religion there shouldn't be a penalty.

Such a good point. This is why I make an effort to chop before I place a district if possible. The faster I can get a city productive in the greater sense, the greater benefit. While the 127 hammers might be 200 later and effectively cost me 50 hammers with my last builder charge, speed and...
