While it's true that i haven't modded, i've put thousands of hours into all the civs. The only one i've ever used mods on is 6; i feel like i need them to make the game enjoyable, and other versions I never felt that way. This is what I meant, and as a non-modder, i can't say for sure what's...

One HUGE change between 5 and 6 was the access modders had to the bones of 6 the way they did w previous iterations. if you had the same ability to mod the game to the extent that was possible before, then i think you'd have a lot more love for the game than (not then) there is. Part of the...

i think i squeaked in, just like school times turn 179 vp by the skins of my teeth. full report to come.

this is pretty much where I'm at. i can't get past the horrific AI of 6, but still have more hrs there than 5. I also will never forgive them for not releasing the .dll for 6 so that modders can really get their hands under the hood, and maybe make an AI that maybe develops at least one tile...

so i have until the 3rd to post on this thread with my save, correct? the 22nd date is for what then?? posting you're write-ups??

He had to undo ;) :)

as the kids say, noice

If you played civ 6, and then tried OW, i think you're in for a rude awakening because they're barely the same genre of game. OW requires, to me anyway, a different mindset than civ4 and civ5 and especially civ6; the AI is good, or, at least, requires a player to be paying attention, and not...

i think you're touching on something here that the GOTM will help with. I think while we're playing and, more importantly, reading and writing reports, we'll see strategies, tricks, and little MM techniques that we didn't even think of -- and reduce the number of times you need to UNDO b/c of...

have to agree. if you really need to get those sweet CFC points by cheating in the GOTM, then, some perspective may be in order for you. for the rest of us, i think the "honor" system should work for the most part w/e is decided. my 2 cents on UNDO is that the Civ gotms have worked fine w/o...

i also think a GOTM where we have predetermined ambitions would be interesting to see.

short of granting yourself wonders and multiple holy cities ;) you can look at throwing specialists into those buildings as well. iirc, they also increase culture.

Raiding over the (Q)uriorates Mastery?

ty sir! i think that makes for a much more interesting and less RNGy GOTM. edit: also, oz, hope you're feeling better :thumbsup:

more than anything, there's a line to walk with Old World more than other games as random narrative events are a large part of the game. it would be nice if a dev ( :cough: @Dale @Solver :cough: ) sees this or if you guys can talk with them about how events are 'determined.' would you and i...
