Heya people, look who's back. Kinda. As we speak I'm updating Warlords and preparing to install the latest Warlords version of the mod. This is after quite a while that I was away from the mod and thus from cIV as a whole. Anyhoo, I'm looking at a steady increase in my free time starting a...

I have a vague recollection that I once learned that opium was very important to the Roman empire because it was used in the military to enable the legions to march beyond the point of exhaustion and to feel no pain. For years I have taken this for fact, although now that I think about it I...

I've mentioned this idea before but I have now worked on it more extensively and this post is the result. The Problem: The problem that spawned this idea is the inconsistency and unfairness in two really cool scripted mechanisms that make this mod what it is: collapse and revolutions. Basically...

Hi everybody. This mod project is very important to me and I invest a lot of my time in it, time that becomes harder and harder to find. I have been involved with RoC/X/RFC/W for a very long time now and I don't even remember what Civ 3 or 4 is like without these mods. I bought Warlords a couple...

We've had Unique Historical Victories for a while now and with RFCW coming tomorrow, it's about time we start getting serious about making them all realistic and doable. It also may be time to discuss general changes to the UHV system, like Rod's(?) proposal of creating a tiered system across...

I've noticed a few times in this forum that people get very frustrated about the mod because of the way this mod is a constant work-in-progress, every version featuring fixes compared to the last version alongside brand-new or recently-added features that haven't been ironed out yet. It's not...

Ever since pretty early development of the mod, before I even started playtesting myself, I kept thinking how well a late-game Special Ops unit would fit in. It could be a unit about as strong as Mech Inf, with 2 movement points and good chances to withdraw, extremely expensive, and starts with...

Please vote. Let's see if it's just a few nuts who still want years to be displayed or a majority.

I'm playing a game of America on 0.96 and most of the game I've been at war with the Aztecs (it's now some time in the mid-1800's, and hopefully they will collapse shortly. I even dreamt they did last night :lol:.) I noticed it takes hellishly long to get a conquered city to start working for...

I was playing a bit yesterday and thinking about the whole Roman UP debate in the Pax Romana thread between turns, when I started thinking... Shouldn't each civ be able to decide how they treat conquered territories? After all, this has changed a lot through history and between different...

Yet another thread on a general subject with a small pet peeve to start on. I hate it that real city names are used when a city is placed off of the naming map. It drives me nuts. The name given to a settlement by the people in it and around it is usually tied into the place itself and its...

I saw there was no one place for all wonder tweak discussions and I thought there should be since I wanted to propose a couple. My suggestion is that Stonehenge, the Oracle, the Parthenon, and other historically polytheistic wonders, be buildable only in cities with no religion in them. Also...

The way Civ represents each turn as a certain year number has been criticized a lot. In the Wonders thread dh_epic suggested simply doing away with year numbers and only representing era. Once, a long time ago, I proposed having the year number change every time a new tech is first discovered...

In my current game of England (which I hope this time I really won't continue playing since half the world just declared war on me) I started seeing a silly little thing recently (middle of the 20th century). Great people are born, named "Great Scientist" and "Great Engineer". So we have one of...

My suggestion as posted yesterday in the big ol' thread: The idea is for a few civs to be able to take on a common enemy and not each need to keep precisely the civs they conquered. To give an example I would have liked in my last England game, this would have easily allowed me as England to...

My suggestions as posted yesterday in the big ol' thread:

This is a thread intended to criticize UPs that you find to somehow be wrong - too weak, too powerful, unhistorical, etc. I have three to start with: Germany's Blitzkrieg - reflects a very limited period in German history, makes Germany a prime candidate for military domination around the...

As those following the old thread already know, I had an idea to set up a series of historical challenges with the goal of finding out if real historical feats are feasible. The first challenge I proposed was to see if a player can set up a Roman Empire resembling the historical one. In civ3...

As rappster kindly brought up in the Ancient World thread, I had a suggestion on redoing the effects of the University building that went largely without reply. It's a small suggestion, I know, but do others here agree with me on it?

Well, I'm browsing CFC while especially tired, since I have the 'flu and won't be going to school tomorrow, and the thought occurred to me that there are some things I like a lot about being very tired. I seem to be able to obsessively go after some goal with absolutely no regard for time. I...
