Kael decided to finally share The Ashes of Brigdarrow with everyone on Reddit, which I suppose means he'd be fine sharing it here as well. Now everyone can read the story of the young Auric Ulvin's first adventure...

Mentions of Nullification and the Supremacy Clause in recent threads have reminded me of this proposed Constitutional Amendment: It may be reminiscent of the old Nullification arguments, but it is also much more restrained; a single state's attempt to overturn Federal law would be...

The HP Pavillion dv6-2088dx that I have been using since December 2009 recently died. (Luckily, I backed up every file I care about on an external hard drive the night before it crashed.) Apparently the integrated video card overheated enough to melt the solder holding it to the motherboard and...

I have again reached the point where I am releasing a new version of my modmod. The aim of this mod is to be both more enjoyable and more faithful to lore than even the original Fall from Heaven 2 mod. This modmod is based on Tholal's More Naval AI mod, and as such includes BUG, Puppet States...

For those who don't speak Latin (or 'Patrian'), that means: "May you have a very happy 38th birthday, Kael" :bday: Yes, as those of you who have him as a facebook friend likely know, this is Derek "Kael" Paxton's birthday. Feel free to express your regard to him here, as well as there.

Edit: I'm going ahead and uploading a new version, but am tired and need to get up early tomorrow so I won't write much yet or bother changing what was written before. This is mostly for bug fixes, but there are a few minor additions too, like a hellish version of every type of terrain.

Should "IN GOD WE TRUST" remain on the currency? If not, what should replace it? Discuss and give your reasons. Edit: This was my first time making a poll. I guess I should have previewed it first. RENDER UNTO CAESAR THINGS WHIHC RE CAESAR'S should of course be RENDER UNTO CAESAR THINGS...

What would you suggest I choose? The essay is due in 3 weeks. We also have to do a short (5 to 10 minute) presentation to the class, which can be either live (in which case it is due the same day as the essay) or a video posted on the class website (in which case it is due a week later).

What would I have to do to allow you to cancel a "permanent" alliance? (SDK changes I assume) It would be nice if it could also be done through diplomacy, but I was mostly want to have a way to easily cancel it through python. Oh, also, what would I have to change in order to allow you to...

Well, you asked for it, so here it is: the first version of Magister Modmod: http://forums.civfanatics.com/uploads/110578/Magister_Mod_FfH_II_030f-1.zip It's still far from perfect, but I figured I should go ahead and share what I've done so far. There are still several things that don't seem...

I was wanting to create a modmod based on FfH, but with more advanced Espionage. Even though the mod is now based on shadow, it currently doesn't (and will probably never) use BtS's espionage relying solely on the <bSabotage>1</bSabotage>, <bDestroy>1</bDestroy>...

Espionage was my favorite addition to BtS, and I was hoping to see it fully incorporated in FfH. As much as I love the unique abilities of the Council of Esus units, I miss the more advanced espionage abilities of BtS spies. I never liked pre-BtS espionage (getting city details, sabotaging...

My laptop recently crashed (to the ground; I tripped over its cord and dropped it) a few weeks ago. I just got it back today, but the hard drive needed to be replaced; I lost everything, including Civ IV. As soon as I finished restoring the new hard drive to the original factory settings...

I've been wondering for quite a while if peaks could be made more productive. Quite a while back I made workers (actually Dwarven Workers, since I mostly play FfH sometimes with minor changes of my own) able to move through impassible terrain in the hopes that it would let them build...

Personally I think this would be a great addition to Erebus, but it seems a little redundant to have both the palace and the Patriarch. If I had to choose between them, I would choose the AP, but preferably with a few changes to promote holy wars. The world wonder limit should be raised to...

How about completly reworking the trainer mechanic: Each tern Govannon would (automatically) teach 1 randomly selected mana based promation that the already has to 1 random unit on his tile (and maybe also adjacent tiles). This would include levels 2 and 3, but much more rarely. He could...

The changes that Fireaxis made to diplomacy between Civ III and IV never made any sense to me. Why can't we mix instant and turn based goods? Have the designers ever heard of a loan? If you could undo this distinction, it would be appreciated. Also, the idea that war must end in one side's...

It has never seemed right to me that all roads in an empire are equal. Improving technology should allow better roads to be built, not just speed up movement on existing ones. What if early on you can only build paths, which can be upgraded to trails and then to real roads later. It doesn't...
