As far as I have seen, if you reduce via XML the chop yeld to 0, the AI do not chop anymore unless she need that tile. Often, she keep the forset for the +1 hammer instead of pre-work it. in a nutshell: with chopping yeld: she chop everything without chopping yeld: she chop only when...

I have the basic game [no expansions]. It is a nice game. The strong part of it is the ability to custom any race you want to use and the in-game design of your ships. It also possess a rather strong AI that do not rely on bonusses but on better logic, at least until the higher difficulties...

Chapter VI Every man, woman and child. Or whatever else could be used as a last resort projectile. Praised be our sponsor, the chicken pizza pan-african brand, but the Khan conquered Lisbon taking the castle with impunity and no actual siege. He simply overrun the twenty defending...

@manifold: yes, I can / have already changed most of those things and tested them a little, with no trouble except for the AI's redneck sindrome. #Thomas SG: VERY intresting, especially since you say that the AI know how to deal with all of this. I will give CCV a try, sounds much like what...

I'm building a scenario and had some issue with AIs behavior when it comes to jungle-forests. The basic idea is to give the terrain more importance in battle. As for now, terrain give you advantage on defense and nothing else. War in tropical area, or tundra, basically does not change. Worst...

I give this a shot at immortal/marathon.

I totally agree but, to name one nuisance at random, Shaka SoD pre-Mgs is a fair sight if you hadn't squished him earlier, and a 100+ unit SoD cannot be killed in the field, either because you where looking to an offence [so your troops are city busters] or on defense [and they are...

One thing you might want to consider: Defender with City Garrison Defender with Drill Drill is the only true way to stop a siege-heavy SoD, it will be intresting simulate for single player pourpose.

I agree about the pre-existant movements. But my "gunpoint" entry it is documented. There where partisan groups that where litteraly "not invited" to the constituent. Those who won the war, directed the process. As I already stated, I don't think they did it wrong, in the end. I'm simply...

I'm running Immortal, Marathon. Usually play on Monach, so suggestions are really welcome. I run Marathon because I hate to see things obsolete just after you build them. Only had a few Isolation games until now, at Prince, won by domination. Checkpoint one:

I find this good! It started as a pretty sterile thread and is going on with much more articolated debates on language, culture and so on. The neightbourhood fact you pointed out is intresting. However, I find most Italian to have very little intrest in their neightbours, they are often seen...

Hi! I usually run monarch, a few shots at immortal [50% won?]. Let's hope they do not waste me °_° First 50 turns: Turn up to 103 [yup, wrong! just... one... more.. turn...] EDIT: right, the saves:

I have friends of sicilian origins and this will probably be wrong to their land. Mafia-driven blocks are dangerous, yes, but not for robbery or the like. More because one could take a bullet NOT aimed to him. The closest thing one could say about those places is that there's a civil war...

Chapter V Doom and Gloom Ocean travel can be very boring, since it takes a lot of time in the middle of, well, nothing. A lot of nothing, mostly blue. Thinking about it afterward, it might have not been a good idea to try to conquer the savages with a seasick army. Or to underestimate the...

@civ_king Hm, are we speaking of the same Italy? The one that beat all other countries by Unesco entries? There is much more than churches and the like. Still, you're right in giving the Catholic church a lot of influence on italian culture. It proved useful to me to just look to some...

On the first game: I woul've moved the warrios 1S, discoving bananas would have settled 1S. True, bananas aren't useful NOW, but that capital 1S wil become a productive monster pretty soon [-9 food needed by mines, +7 food provided by clams]. But probably I'm just hammer addicted. A religion...

I almost only play Marathon, on maps around standard, going for domination/conquest against Monarch AI. Multyplayer is an entirely different thing but I have little experience here. Remind that marathon + Huge maps will make your computer cry in the late 1500s unless you have a lot [4gb]...

I suspect warmongers ask for open borders for scouting pourpose. They cheat on the knowhow of powers and troops placement, at least on borders, but they still ask often to me. It's a good giveaway of their intentions: Ask for open borders, explore, attack 20 or 30 turns later. I really...

Chapter IV A brave, new and quite expensive world! After much consideration, Henry took a few people, put them on boats of new design and sent them thowards destiny. Well, which kind of destiny was unclear, at first, but since the economy back home was stagnating, some families volountered...

Nobody had the heart to tell him about his doubtful choice, right? :p Meh, go trust friends! :lol:
