So, I'll shamefully admit that I haven't played K-Mod... But from everything I've read, it sounds like this mod really fixed quite a few BTS multiplayer errors related to "out-of-sync." I wonder if any of the dev's could share how they went about finding and fixing these kinds of errors. One...

No offense taken. Like I said, I'm a developer by profession. I only posted this because there was a discussion about mercenary mechanics. What was suggested sounded complicated and I was posting an alternative that seemed simpler to me. On the other hand (as you pointed out) I don't know...

Ok, so, of all the ideas I suggested above, the one about being able to sell units seemed the simplest in terms of implementation in the code. As for playability, fun, and balance, I can't say. Look, the mechanics are already there. You can already gift units. And if you gift your special...

Yes, I'm aware of how difficult coding can be. I do it for a living. I was just curious if any of these ideas have been considered before and/or if any of these ideas are practical. -- SJN

I have a few more ideas I'll just toss out... I'll admit I'm not a Civilization V fan, so if this sounds CIV 5'ish, it isn't. 1. Historically, more soldiers died from wounds than from actual combat. so, instead of a unit healing after battle, it should continue to lose HP unless it can meet...

Hi! I'm new to this mod, so if I ask anything that has already been asked, I'm sorry. I did a search, but maybe I missed it. 1. What about land unit range? If we're talking about realism, one of my biggest complaints about civ IV is that an early explorer can explore the whole world. 2...

Yeah, I'm capable of playing Civ V, I'm just not *enjoying* it much yet. Well, when I say "capable", I should qualify it with stating that I'm a mediocre Civ IV player, and a novice Civ V player. But even though I was never a master of Civ IV (never got past Monarch), I really, really enjoyed...

When I heard about the 1 unit per tile I was so excited. After just a few games, I'm quite disappointed. Here are my reasons. (1) I do not enjoy the transport of units over water. (2) I cannot give "group orders" (honestly don't know how you would implement, but it's really painful to try...

Well, I have to say, the responses have been interesting. I found this advice unsatisfying: "For war, I recommend playing Pangaea maps if you want to fight. The AI handles it better and you don't have to deal with embarkation. A lot of Civ5 players do Pangaea only." because I loved...

Hello, all. I'll start out by admitting that I haven't liked Civ V so far, for the most part. But I'm trying to morph just another Civ V hating post (JAC5HP?) into something useful. I am trying to have an open mind about Civ V, and there are aspects I like, but I'm struggling to connect...

To the OP, could it be that you accidentally had a unit set to go to the enemy cities? If there are no enemy units there, it could just walk in.

So, it just so happens that I've been thinking *alot* about production cities. This gives me some new food (no pun intended) for thought. Can we run some numbers? Maybe post a picture of the city so we can have an accurate idea of what we can do with it. For example, max production given...

Oh crud, I didn't add in observatories. I left out Labs on purpose because I didn't know hare far you had gone. So, a "regular city" with base science commerce "b": b + .25b + .25b + .25b + .1b = 1.85b A "science city" with base science commerce "b": b + b + .5b + .25b + .25b + .25b + .1b...

It sounds like what you really need is a "conversion" strategy. I'd suggest waiting until Biology (when all the farms produce more) and start converting things to cottages when a loss in food won't affect your specialists. When you have Emancipation, you also get fast growth in the newly...

Hmmm, well, I suppose it depends on what you mean by "small". Here's my figuring. I'm assuming "spherical chicken" as my physics teacher used to say: cottages only, no trade routes, no maintenance penalties, no great people settled, no precious metals mines, 100% science, etc. The only...

Well, because I suck at this game, when I'm running CE, I pick a financial leader and run a shrine (so I can keep my science rate as close as possible to 100%). I've been told by other people that this is dumb, but I like to put my commerce city in the middle of the flood plains. If I'm...

I believe that the Status of Zeus ups power significantly. -- Seth

Isn't Telepathy communicating mind-to-mind? I thought Telekinesis was moving things with your mind... And on a completely unrelated, but humorous note, you're comment about mind bullets reminded me of a great quote from a shadowrun rpg quote-board. "I'm not so worried about the bullet with my...

I love masterful usage of a language. I wish that I had better command of it. As a side note, I'm a big fan of "savethewords.org". The word I have adopted is "mariturient". Look it up! It's a great word! And as a side, side note, one of my favorite insults of all time that demonstrates...

Yes, wikipedia listed this under the "colloquial usage". A subsequent paragraph acknowledges that language can, does, and will change, but that doesn't mean that there shouldn't be care exercised in using language *right now*. Really, I'm not trying to be critical nor pedantic. My goal is to...
