Given how long it takes to get 5 allies for the cap at 25% combat bonus, does anybody else feel like it should maybe have a slightly higher cap like 35% (same 5%/ally ratio) to better serve warmongering potential in the late game? I feel like Greece just drops off too hard in power even from the...

Cool idea for the Netherlands. Can't wait to try them out.

If Netherlands needs another UU, a cannon replacement would nicely reflect the Dutch specialty for sieges during the 80 years' war with Spain. Not sure how to make it unique though. Maybe make it come with a cover promotion to reflect defensive trenches dug during a siege? An alternative...

Korea I really don't think the Turtle ship should be a replacement for the caravel. It makes far more sense for it to be the unique Korean galleass, because it was also partly oar-powered, exclusively relied on ranged combat, and stuck to coastal or inland seas rather than fighting in the open...

How well does the MOAR Units mods go with this mod? Are there too many tweaks to existing unit strengths, placement in tech tree, etc., to make the two mods incoherent or no?

Whoa, the new spy thing sounds pretty cool.

Ha, I had the same problem. I was sitting at over 50 happiness so I recklessly settled 8 more cities, and I quickly plummeted to -40 unhappiness.

Speaking as mostly an Emperor/Immortal player, that rarely happens. I've had the odd game when I managed to get DoF with most of my neighbours, but a lot of times, I end up getting declared war upon as I don't keep a large enough army as the other AIs with high production.

In the 8/12 version, I just had a peace forced upon me when the war was less than 5 turns in, and it was brokered by a 3rd party member who was also at war with me. I'm not entirely sure about the warscore, but it couldn't have been more than a difference of 10, as I'd only killed a tiny...

If the free shock 1 promotion change is here for good, Japan's samurai might need something extra since I think it already had shock 1 for free in previous versions. Maybe give it drill 1 and shock 1 for free? Then again, maybe samurai don't need anything extra since they're already pretty...

Agreed. Double healing is great for a UU but double healing and armor plating just seems like overkill. I wish it was the Hoplites who could get the armor plating bonus instead of the immortals, since they did tend to be more heavily armored in history.

Agreed. They're great for defending against an early rush, and it's the unit I dread the most when executing an early war.

Haven't played too many games until all the way to the end, but my recent game with America was initially very peaceful as most AIs didn't bother to go to war against each other, making it possible for me to have DoFs with 7 of 11 AIs. But as soon as ideologies were accepted, my experience was...

The extra votes from CS allies is fine as a late game boost, especially if you're going for diplomatic. But I'm more referring to the culture and GAP to the capital for each CS ally which comes into play from the game's start when I compare it to Morocco's UA. Siam's UA may not be as good...

Just want to chime in about the UA feeling incredibly underwhelming. Feels like a worse version of the Moroccan UA really. UB is fine and while I like having the panzer as a UU, it'd be nice if it could have a better promotion than just a 25% defense buff, which doesn't seem to mesh well with...
