Are there any news about it? Although, let's not fire up our hopes...

:beer: And Drew is still fat...it seems. [offtopic]

This. You defined well the abstract key points regarding the gaming environment leading to different goals. To push one step further the classification: micromanagers vs big picture gamers. One thing I noticed over the years is those who master the art of getting the big picture right are...

How this d@mn thread succeeded crawling back to life is beyond me?

If I didn't know better, that profile seems somewhat off. Oh wait, it's just a book. lel

:egypt:

Oh, so the odds actually grow by time. That explains all now. Basically, it grows like an arithmetic serie where, at some point, the odds are 100% and it'll happen. When I thought of the odds, I thought it was 2% each turn, meaning after 10 turns the odds of happening goes...

Ok, this time I brought a huge army. The shelled units event just makes the game unplayable. Can I have an explanation how it works because when on tech parity, it feels I need to bring 8 times in units to have a slight chance to break just one city. 8 times a city of 40 units is quite a lot...

Hi PIE, first of all, superb increase in difficulty. I remember when I started the mod how deity was easy and suddenly, by now, I have sheer difficulty to advance despite moderately advanced in empire developments and technology. Indeed, that represents well the typical difficulty of ancient...

Just to pacify the probably now-seething people in PBEM in which I play, I'll return to normal tomorrow and play all my turns. It was rather a week of devil: constant works. Even tonight, I'm still bound to complete two tasks within two hours (to avoid late assignments penalties). Just be...

You may be right, I'm quite stressed these time. So, may have a second chance because I think everyone can have one, right? Also, I would like to start another PBEM about PAE, but Tigranes deals with the invitation. Socially, I suck. He may far better than I am on this. War of Diadochi, it...

Phalanx are quite interesting in MP. Think about a unit that can withstand both chariots and swordmen. Only axes can be on part (and later Horse Archers). Instead of a stack with some spears and axes (or 50-50) to garantee immunity, you build twice as much in phalanxes. For SP, phalanxes are...

IIRC, emperor in RFC is equivalent to base game deity.

No more.

Hi Pie, I was asking myself what was the design motivation behind the creation of Special Building [I to X]. I assume it is to give more UB than normal to a specific number of civilizations historically having the building like the sewers. The group Special Building XI intrigued me. It...
