Thanks much for the prompt response ales :)

Seems like the Rhyse website wiki is screwed up. Is there an alternate location online for the various strategy guides? Or maybe any plans for Rhyse to get his wiki working again?

Yeah, I have finally got a game where I wasn't completely flooded by barbs. Raging barbs off, had a couple civs packed in close, and built the Great Wall. Wish I took a screenshot of this: once I had caravels, and found a still barb island, and it was cockroaches galore.... every coastal hex...

Hi Mike, thanks for the response. I come here from a long line of mods: rev - rom - and now RAND (along with many others)... so it isn't that it is just beyond me :) I generally play emperor these days, so maybe time to turn it down a notch as I get used to it. And for the first time in ages...

The mod looks promising, but I have yet to get to a satisfying mid game after quite a few hours and more than one ragequit. 1. Coastal barbarians make any settlement on coasts a lost cause. The idea of having raiders spawn onboard ships sounds cool in principle, in practice you need a huge...

Go for it. I do not see this as a big issue for something still in Beta dev phungus. Excellent working game is priority not people with old saves... :)

I'd say it really isn't a problem, so long as people are aware of the simple solution. Once you find a regen that you like, LOAD THE SAVEGAME 4000BC, and you are good to go.

I am playing it constantly, loving it, and have no further comment except that you rock Mr. Phungus.

I think you conquered a city that has a high culture rating for your own people (not sure the exact threshold). When you reconquer what are deemed "your" cities (even if you never owned them) then you do not get this option. Feature not bug. :)

I am sensing mission creep, a Firaxis style expansion pack would not be making radical gameplay changes and still adding content at version .98

I feel like "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". This would be the second major reworking of the early units (that I remember) and because that is the era I am most often playing in, it means that I am basically playing a new game. The LoR mod is excellent right now. And as you yourself say...

Me, I find the 300 Spartans to be mission critical for my peaceful / cultural playstyle. That one unit plus some other token light defense can keep your empire safe from multiple warmongers on your frontiers.

Furthermore, they can't be upgraded. Is that a recent change? Every version I have played to date allows them to upgrade.

So I appreciate the offer, and please don't take the above rant as directed at anyone or anything, I'm not mad at anyone. Just a little overwhelmed and frustrated. Keep the faith, brother. I honestly wish I had some skills to help this thing along, but I don't. Just be aware that there are...

This is really a huge tragedy. So close to the prize and having a key guy falling away... here's hoping he will get things sorted out and come back on board.
