Oh hey, great you're back! Why not civ 5 by the way?

Hi Dale, I just finished upgrading your Huge World Map to work with the last patches and added some minor stuff that I found interesting. Right now, I'm testing the mod to make sure all civs work as intended. When things are finished and polished, would you allow me to post the mod...

To clarify my settings: I play "single Player", with all standard settings. The chosen map type is "earth". On multiplayer I default to the "continents" map, since earth does not seem to be available on multi. The map size is "normal".

Hi everyone, maybe I do somethign wrong somewhere - but in all my earth or continents (standard size) games, there is only one NW: Mt. Fuji. I have never seen another one, found another one or heard from anthoer one. I have played about 10 full games with different starting locs, but no...

Cities will flip to vassals. They just don't flip back to the guy you conquered it from. On earth it happens a lot in the middle east. If you take arabian cities and vassal Sal, they will flip easily to Cyrus or whoever else in the region, since their culture is older and stronger than yours...

Hello, yes there are things (air combat, navy and espionage) that should be fixed. But I would also like to see new features for us to enable/disable: 1. Internal struggle: Every empire in history had it's internal struggles, civil wars, splits and unifications. That should be part of the...

Settling SA would be my way to go as a european power. It gives you access to oil and many other precious things. Since I play europe on earth18 quite a lot, the access to military resources must always be considered long term. North Africa, East-Europe and the Arabian Peninsula (where your...

Oh and thanks for the help & interest! Very, very appreciated!

Hi guys, sorry for the late answer. I will post save later that day (euro-time) when I come home. I was with my client for the last days and couldn't follow the discussion. Maybe I am mistaken with my observations but it seems to me that the AI goes Rocketry, nearly immediately after builds...

Hello All, In my deity games It seems like the AI builds SS parts as soon as they have Apollo Project online. They immediately build thrusters and stasis chambers even though they beg me for the needed tech! I play on the recent Version, PC-Version with BUG-Mod, BTS and earth18 Scenario...

If the AI's Starting Locations really are that screwed, it won't matter anyway if you build the great wall or not. Maybe building the GW is even better for the AI (most of em cannot reasonably build it anyway or waste their time trying). If you alternatively build pyramids or other wonders, you...

I agree with the conquest of europe - but get Oil first. Get North Africa or even better: Grab the oil on the South American coast, since it's an easy grab. Monty has cities in SA and propably won't be able to reinforce troops from his mainland. You don't really want to conquer SA - just hold...

At home, I run a scenario I like to call "vanill-b". It is basically an earth18 but with most civs changed to the new BTS civs. With the english in canada, the portuguese in brazil and the dutch in Australia and Indonesia the americas are quite powerful. Their backwaterishness comes IMHO mainly...

Happy Birzday from your german fanz!

Attack someone else then. India or Europe for example. If you want to fight China no matter what, sit on defense and let him attack you. Once his SOD is in your territory, siege him down and Keshik him up while hiding behind culture defense. If the Khan happens to have that kind of weakish...

Hmmm, good point. Oh and another one with the Aztechs. Seems I mixed something up here. But one thing is for sure: Neal can and propably will strengthen all nations he'll jump in with the same recipe from now on: war. Which is cool, somehow, cause they will all have faction hits on their...

I understand that. But that would penalise only the single starting civ that Neal would chose (egypt). Since he plays better than the AI and could easy chop-rush a neighboring civ (well not with egypt, but he could have chosen another one) things would "balance out". Talking about balance -...

Though I like the concept of switching from leader to leader very much, as well your writing about it, I think the difficulty setting is too low. No matter who you take over - you always will pwn your neighbors with decisive military action. Maybe later in the endgame, the AI will become a real...

Settle only east to block off east asia as you did in KotW13. Then Whip armys and attack Persia. Although there is space to REX it seems far too late for it. Go and conquer. You put difficulty so low, there won't be any stacks o' doom or aggressice neighbors anyhow. I predict: Nearly all Civs...

Hey Neal, why don't you switch to "deity" on this game? After all, you won't stay in a civ forever - so it could be done!
