I'm now wondering if I've ever known a mainstream franchise so bitterly at war with itself in studio, never mind the fanbase. :scared:

Iteration has only ever been beneficial in the long run. Can you imagine if we only had ripptide's library to work with? :shifty:

"Thank God, YouTube recommendation system is finally working properly." Literally one of the best Popular Video Game OST remixes in local style I've ever heard.

Never in my life did I imagine a mashup of 2–4 would work so well. I'd love to see this adapted into a proper skin as a sort of softer "Modern CFC"; I miss the vBulletin era but something about the XF remake is a bit too harsh.

Ah, I was only going off the Orders menu and completely forgot to test if hotkeys bypassed it. :crazyeye: No, the menu order only appears once you have Slot 2's prereq (so 'nil' lists it from the start); like general worker actions, it's listed for all units even if they're not Role 5. I did a...

Underbidding and overbilling is the definition of my work ethic. :lol: Thanks for your consideration.

I was devastated to discover today that the online host went down; I had very little experience modding Civ4 when I joined a colleague's project a decade ago, and this was a godsend for helping me balance the leader profiles. The read-only version is archived, but if it's at all possible to...

The standard rules are 8; TOTPP Navigable Rivers flag is 9, and 10 through 13 are the Extra Settler Flags introduced in v0.16 (none of which control Engineer-specific functions). Your settings are fine; Buck and tootall must know something I don't, because I have never been able to access the...

The transform ability is hard-coded to Slot 2. The ToT flag only affects worker speed. Expanding transform-capable units would be a handy addition: it's potentially problematic in the Extended Original mod, where Colonists supersede Engineers and therefore disable terrain transformation unless...

I would see worker suicide during an invasion and thought it was some act of spite if the AI felt it couldn't get them to safety fast enough; I never knew it was a general behaviour. :eek:

[Indigenous Critique idles in the distance]

I immediately thought of the Bears at Play cosmetic mod way back in Civ2. :cool:

I almost wish the merger was real, because that banner looks beautiful.

For real: from the playthroughs I've watched, the core gameplay seems solid. The only consistent complaint is the CtP-style battle window which, given it amounts to a dolled-up after-action report, is really just a cosmetic fumble.

Correct: caravan commodities can be named to anything you want. However, certain commodities yield larger returns from cities in demand, so you may want to name them thematically: +50%: Cloth (4), Coal (6), Wine (9), Silver (11); +100%: Silk (10), Spice (12), Gems (13), Gold (14); +150% (Oil...
