I attacked Ocells with a Nyxin and got Tor Elithis as well when I won. Doesn't happen if I take the city after the assassins destroy all the boats.

Just a small issue to point out. Start a game on settler difficulty and get mining instead of crafting.

That's a really interesting idea for foreign trade. It fits the trade is war's natural enemy idea and it could overcome the inevitable close borders tensions.

Still too useless in the view of most people. Also large empires have a high upkeep and the upkeep is offset by the gold it is earning. As a result, it really isn't clear when Foreign Trade is useful. That's why I posted this a while back: My goal here was to try to make all of the economic...

Seems this bug was ignored so I'm bumping it back up again.

Agreed that it would be terrible if everyone could only attack once per turn and if everyone could take more than one attack before dying. Wars would take forever then especially with stacks and healing in between. That system from SMAC (?) that you refer could certainly make things interesting...

I believe this exists in the Afterworld scenario for BtS. It's either that or it's a limit to how much damage can be taken in a combat before it ends with no one dead but damaged to varying degrees. Not sure if it is possible to bring this into 0.23c though.

Water elemental will put all the other elementals to shame. :goodjob: Drown unit makes sense to me. I think of the various colors as seaweed that was dragged along during the process of making the Drown. Stygian guard just seems out of place among the other OO units though. Maybe it's the...

Well if they capitulate you can demand one resource and not be turned down without a war. You can demand one of their palace mana. That means no change would be needed to get that effect in.

I was thinking of something like this, but it's not quite the same. I like the idea that when the AC reaches 100, a countdown begins. I do not however think it should be possible to stop it at all. What I'm thinking is when the counter hits 100 and Apocalypse strikes, there will be other...

Has this thread been demoted to a discussion about a screenname? It's not like the name is "Maniackiller." This person is just a killer of any random maniac, not necessarily Maniac. Anyway, FfH 1 was pretty cool. After FfH 2 though, I'll probably never take 1 seriously anymore because 2 is...

I wasn't wondering how we would avoid these strange combinations, I know it is an option. I was responding to Jono suggesting that adaptive be taken away. I don't see any reason why it should be taken away. It could be reworked like what MagisterCultuum wants but flat out taken away because this...

About the whole "losing critical units at ridiculous odds" thing, I've got an idea. I noticed while playing the Afterworld scenario, a mechanic was in place that made it possible to actually go through 1000s of battles with only 5 units and not succumbing to the mentioned problem. All the...

What if you wanted to play a normal game?

Vassal states are brought over with BtS so you don't need Warlords for vassal states.
