Immortal epic. Im going buffalo things > march but then Im starting to question myself maybe because the options are so damn good. Mobility is super but so is Blitz with move 3, stalwart helps them to not die but overrun and forlorn are also great, Zulu luxury problems ... where would you go and...

I found an edge case in god of fire normally Id struggle to work all mines but with salt as lux I dont have that issue. Lines up ok with statue of zeus rush and its some extra yields on forge, maybe ottomans would be optimal as they have ub forge but easier with zulu/mongolia because I can...

How/where do I adjust or remove AI bonus yields for building a wonder or settling/capture a city?

Are faith of the masses and divine teachings counterproductive as progress or do they still provide yields on construction when purchased with faith? It does look like there is a culture gain in the city when I tested it but there are no log messages. Does this also apply on pure faith...

I wonder how you do with these for bonuses. (This is for wide play mainly authority conquest but Im happy to read about insights no matter what policy choices are made.) Here is how I do which could very well be suboptimal which is why I ask. Scientists I usually settle all scientists until...

(Wasnt sure if I should post here or in balance but lets start here.) How do you play with medics and is it worth the trouble? I played until gunpowder with Persia. Upgrading quite a lot of Archers (now xbows) to medic 2 for mid/backline healing. All melee were Immortals -> Pikemen -> Tercio...

To avoid the extreme wonderspam an extra cost was added if you previously built wonders. Was this mostly intended to hold back the human player? Does the AI have this penalty too (maybe its the bonuses the AI have which make it feel like it doesnt have an extra cost)? AIs who are ahead on tech...

Losing your holy city to a CS ...really? Ok I guess he was hammered from all sides.

So with authority Iroquois there will be a brutal window of UU spam, but if I can avoid it ... not on forest tiles. Still that is a rough window on almost any difficulty. I have a choice to forward settle (and really make sure to get hit by him)... Which spot (orange numbers 1-5) would you say...

Both Persia and Sweden got eliminated in early medieval before I even got to meet them. I was surprised because Persia is usually very strong in the early game, sweden can be a bit hit or miss. Also of note, I managed to survive spanish naval assault ... yes I had basically no navy on the side...

Is it worth taking for the gold/food/faith or are natural wonders the key? Have a game now with 6 mountains in cap = 3g3f3f but ... sort of wonder, similar gold is easy to get with open sky or even tutelary, is that food worth anything (Ill get like 3 mountain citys and possibly a 4th with...

Avoided these starts for sometime (and 3rd 4th which I now use here). The start will be a bit short on hammers until I get UB up. Will go authority. Whats the good strats for calendar starts? I will get enough faith/gold from UA. Hammers, culture and science will be prio, or go for even more...

I've been trying some of the new religious options and ... not sure if it IS that strong but ... Ceremonial Burial + Symbolism + To the Glory of God ... feels like a really strong combo. How have the more recent religious changes panned out? fewer superior options? anything that stands out? I...

Playing a game with Byzantines using Veneration. Order/hero worship for faith, fealty for rebate and zelotry+faith of the masses for spending. It feels strong but a lot it comes from the huge faith pump that is orders. I guess Aztecs can probably even use it without orders but its still about...

Or is it just coded to be first pick for 9/10 AIs? If its that good should it be nerfed or should the coding of AI pantheon choices be different? Venting because I wanted to play Russia with it, and AI taking god of expanse first 5/5 ... and counting. I cant beat it even with stonehenge (I...

Been testing different settings for a more enjoyable game and have come to defensive pacts. (warmongering off didnt do much difference, no bribe wars made a huge difference) Is there a way to adjust, limit or turn defensive pacts off?

There was a bug that provided too much exp, now that its been fixed it takes notably longer to get both +1 range units and City Assault. How do you deal with that? Are you keeping track on what units to focus with and actively trying to get these up to the promo you need? Maybe even trying to...

King is too easy for me but on emp-immortal I get really triggered when my Tercios struggle vs Swordsmen (and similar). Ie 1+ era ahead units are still not able to do much at all. Is there a way to mod my setup so the AI get less rediculous combat bonuses and still allow the AI to have the other...
