I was able to find the save (it was in a different folder for some reason) and test it out. You're right. I thought I had taken mobility I on the axe holder, but apparently not.

Thanks for the quick reply. I used the DLL to replace the one in the Fall from Heaven 2 Assets folders and it worked. What was the bug? Was it related to religion or the adaptive trait? I just remembered one other bug, it's alot smaller though, in 1.4 I was able to get Orthus' Axe in one game...

Great mod man. It really improves FFH2 to be more challenging, but I think I found a pretty nasty bug. This turn the Council of Esus was found in a distant land and then when I go to end turn, crash. Around this same time maybe a turn or two before, my adaptive trait kicked in (may also be a...

Interesting strat, do you think it would be good for Mahala as well? Do a classic Doveillo rush so you have two capital sites then the raiders trait will let you have armies that zip around enemies' territory.

Personally, I think the Grigori are the best for a cultural victory because of the adaptive trait and their awesome world spell. The trick is to cottage up two of the three cultural cities and the last one be your great person farm. Run the liberty civic and have your cultural slider at...

Depends on what I'm going for. If I'm focusing on metal and normal siege with a huge empire, I'll probably go for Law, Life, and Enchantment. Those mana nodes do so much for keeping an empire going. If I'm using magic as the backbone then... definitely fire. Fireballs are too awesome. Earth is...

I've had lairs spawn barbarians in the heart of my culture before. I didn't expect one of my commerce cities to get sacked the way it did. They've always been a huge concern for me. The first lair is easy to protect, hills, forest, and river on three sides. The second lair is like you said a bit...

Looks like there are two lairs near by. It might be a good idea to go warrior -> worker -> warrior to try and get some people stationed right on top of them to reduce barb problems. Also, I would settle on the swamp and specialize it as a production city. It has 6 hills, one is a plains...

I agree with Emptiness in having the settler just pop up on the lair real quick to take a better look around. I agree that the Scout should move 1SW, but I don't think we should send our warrior too far away. One trick we can do to stop lizardman spawns on the lair is to station a warrior...

There's a bunch of threads about Svart, why not do that? It can be an example on how to take over the world without siege.

If you want to run an ALC game, go for it. People who are interested will gun for it.

This thread got me to give this a shot. After 5 attempts I think I've found the strategy that works for the beginning of the game:

What are those crash conditions? Bootsiuv: I'd like to hold off reformating my whole computer. I'm more inclined to think that the error is in FFH than my computer since everything else runs perfectly fine.

I can't say for sure, but I think it might have to do with bulbing priorities and current techs. I believe that if you have Mysticism, Hunting, and Mining and then use a great prophet for a bulb, it will prioritize Runes over Fellowship. The trick might be ignoring mining in the early game...

I did a few more tests and the game is still crashing. 1) Reinstall base Civ IV and Beyond the Sword- Crash. 2) Reinstall FFH2 with FFH2 Patch J only (Not even the media pack) - Crash Both times the game crashed in the 240-320 turn time frame (I can't remember the Grigori one exactly)...

Sorry. I don't have the Grigori save because I started the Kuriotates game and forgot to convert the auto save into a permanent save.

I was playing a Grigori game last night, doing alright, when I noticed that the game suddenly crashed to desktop at the start of my new turn. Unforunately, I forgot to save that game. So I played another game, my first time with the Kuriotates on a standard Pangea, standard speed, All Unique...

+1 on being blind sided with a Lizardman. I've had that happen to me :mad: Turn 13 Lizardman spawned, turn 14 I was dead. +1 to Emptiness's no lairs suggestion. I've found that barbarians spawn most frequently from them. I tend to spawn bust them like you would in vanilla Civ4 by putting a...

I would love to read it, if it isn't too much of a bother.

Ah, I forgot about the fortify bonuses and the distance traveled through cultural borders, thank you. And in an argument against myself, this type of defense would encourage short campaigns threatening the AI will large stacks to make them retreat then capturing the city and holding it. Sort of...
