Yes, I definitely noticed this myself. I believe it was an intentional design decision to slow production of every thing down so that you could not just build every building in every city like you could it civ 4. It makes you have to think of what building you want and are most important and...

:lol:, it took a minuite to determine the "exploit" you are referring to. Oh, and I just realized we are playing a huge map so 4 AIs sounds good. I like the combination of raging barbarians on an archipelago map. Even though you likely won't be meeting competitor civs early as every will...

Also very excited to have ZtC. I must say that if I can ZtC it is the only way I move the map. I zoom out quickly, move the mouse to where I want to go and then zoom in (adjusting the mouse as I am zooming in to zoom exactly where I want to go). Once you get really good at you can move your view...

All the preloaded files are encrypted and will be decrypted once the game is released.

Don't forget to ask how many civs there is.;)

In Civ 4, pitboss allows for a very long turn limit so it is essentially as laid back as PBEM. You can also disable simultaneous turns and have automatic email reminders with pitboss.

I would also like to join in this game. My time zone is GMT -9. If you guys would like, I could host a Pitboss server for this game. I would like to play as France as I am intrested in taking as much advantage of the new social policy system as possible. Edit: 1000th post !!:)

I like this idea. As Dale mention we would definitely need someone manage the overall project. Another thing which I think is important is the ability for the creator of a branch to limit those who have editing rights along a branch. Other branches can of course merge any branch into their own...

Quickly goes to mod civ IV to have a civ V wonder so that we can all build it....

I have a hunch that maps will be much larger and the minimum distance between cities will be greater. This will give room for large sprawling battles on the landscape. This will also help balance the increased unit movement.

lol, Thanks for the good laugh:lol:

We have been working on the mod for about 6 months with a team of about 8 major contributers to the mod as well as some more minor ones. The mod is far from complete but we hope have an initial release after we get rid of most of the major bugs and iron some things out so that it is somewhat...

Just the normal palace for me. It must not be added to the mod yet.:confused:

This mod may be put to waste but there is another similar mod actively being produced: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=207806 A number of the people that worked on Planet Roanoke are now working on this "new" mod. Here's a preview screenshot (click it to enlarge):
