One comment I have on the Maya is that they should have access to fresh water throughout almost all of the peninsula. Nearly all Mayan cities were built in proximity to the many cenotes that are abundant throughout the Yucatan peninsula, and all had access to fresh water through this. Would it...

I struggle to like the RPG aspects - I wish this was just a straight 4X like FFH was. I realize that's more of a personal preference though so I don't hold it against the game. The two things I do hold against FE are: - Entirely unimaginative civs, world and lore. The different races are just...

You realize there are over 7 million people living in the Yucatec region who consider themselves Mayan, speak Mayan, maintain traditional Mayan beliefs and continue to live in almost the same way that their ancestors had 500 years ago, right?

Hi guys, First time trying this modmod and loving it so far. Quick question though - why has Japan's stability map been reduced? It seems strange to me that the areas in the Philippenes and and surrounding islands now give them instability.

Thanks Rhye, it's not often my suggestions are taken seriously! :) Actually, are you still looking for someone to do the Aztec city names map / settlers map? How long do you expect each of these would take? I am happy to volunteer some time this coming weekend if I can help.

Could I make a suggestion - I always thought it was weird that the Aztecs in RFC start surrounded by open land, and use settlers to settle multiple cities. In real life, the Mexicatl only ever settled their capital of Mexico-Tenochtitlan. The rest of their empire was formed of surrounding...

Does anyone know which xml file these are set in? I'd like to have a look at exactly how each civ is affected.

That is really interesting. Thanks for the tips guys. I had a feeling that coming out of the golden age was doing something to me. Is it all of the ancient civs that have the -3 penalty for contacts or only Greece? If that's how it works I'm tempted to try again but this time wipe out a few of...

Hi all, I've been playing an Emporer game as Greece - aiming for Space Race victory but could probably go for Cultural as well. I've hit a point however at which no matter what I do my stability will drop to unstable over the next 10 - 15 turns and my civilization collapses. According to...

I have to disagree. The inclusion of houses, places, etc from beyond the first book makes it pretty clear that this mod is based on the books rather than the HBO series. Also the art style taken and the fact that they are not using pictures from the series. These books have been out for a while...

This is a screenshot from Fantasy Wars, a game released by the same developers as Warlock back in 2007 (i.e. before Civ5). Warlock is running an updated version of the engine from this game. Similar to Civ5? Yes, but only because Civ5 was similar to Fantasy Wars.

...and Warlock: Master of the Arcane will be far superior to them both.

It seems to me like there could have been an easier way to build that aqueduct...

Haven't tried one of these before so might give this a go. The Inca are always fun. I'm going to try Challenger Class, but we'll see how I go as I haven't played anything but FFH and RFC for about 2 years so it'll be interesting if I can still play Vanilla CIV. I'm thinking that PH is...

I'm confused then. It looks like most civs have a respawn chance if that is the case. I was thinking more of the civs that will declare independence at some point and retake their core area, such as the Aztecs as Mexico, Inca as Peru or China. The reason I am wondering is that I want to avoid...

Is there anywhere I can find a list of the civs that respawn along with the dates that this happens? Searched but couldn't find anything. Thanks!

Hello, and thanks for this modmod - I'm really enjoying it. Can I just add one opinion though: Using the word Aztec (or Aztecatl) as the civ name is the equivalent to calling China or Japan "Asia". The word Aztec is a label that was given by the Europeans to all the peoples in what is now...

Yeah, but despite the artificial land it always remained surrounded by lake. The artificial land made it similar to Venice, with canals between buildings. It was the Spanish who eventually filled in the lake completely. This idea is perfect really. I'd keep those 3, and add one more in the...

No it wasn't spelled with Latin characters, but that's largely irrelevant. The Nahuatl language has been studied, and is indeed still spoken by many, although in an evolving form. It's known how his name was pronounced, and that this pronunciation is correctly represented by the Latin characters...

This sounds great! I'm looking forward to hearing a few more details and starting to see it take shape. I've always had a strong interest in the histories and indigenous mythologies of the Japanese and Aztecs, so I'd be happy to give you a few thought or ideas once those civs start coming into...
