    Roguelike on Erebus

    This looks great and promising! You should be careful with spelling and grammar though. Here are some things that can be fixed:

    Roguelike on Erebus

    I have not coded with Delphi for about 7 years. Just out of curiosity, do you use special libraries or components to draw frames and stuff (such as the inventory) ? Or do you only have one big canvas and draw everything (frames, text, icons...) yourself ? If you're using components and they are...

    Roguelike on Erebus

    Hello ! I wanted to try your game but unfortunately I could not find the download link. Am I that dumb or has something really awful happened? Or something? I noted that you say: This is a bug that should be fixed as soon as possible :D Honestly though. According to your screenshots, you...

    Some gameplay ideas

    Hello everyone. I have some not-that-well-thought ideas I'd like to share. It will help me make them clearer for myself, and I hope that maybe some of you will tell me why they suck. I'm sorry if they have been proposed before, I looked a bit but couldn't find anything. What to do with the...

    Is the game fun again?

    I agree that big stacks are annoying, not because of the difficulty, but because they are tedious to manage. In fact, I think FFH is really great but inherits BtS issues and make them worse, as you need to micromanage your units much more. Because of spells, for instance. But spells are great...

    First Civ?

    I would not recommend recommending a specific civilization just so you can win your first game. In my opinion, what's really great about FFH is the discovery of new mechanisms each and every game. Losing, winning, who cares? So my advice is: pick the civilization you think looks or sounds...

    Hi, I know how to view my attacking odds, but is there a way to see my defending odds against a particular unit?

    questions about gp farms

    I guess you could work cottages and use the food overflow to run specialists. You'll be building science multipliers anyway and having to work 2 farms for each additional specialist is costly. It would produce less GP, but the number of life-changing GPs is not that high: - one scientist for...

    questions about gp farms

    The pig and corn near the river at the west is your best GP farm spot I think. Easy to farm and irrigate the corn. With just the pig and corn you can run 5 specialists at size 7, which is optimal. With farms you add 1 specialist for every 3 population, which is much less optimal. It can have up...

    Diamonds are a girls - and my - best friend.

    If you want to place the city west of the gems, the south one should probably be 1E of its current location. Reasons are : - it gets a hill defense bonus; - it gains 2 flat grasslands and 1 green hill instead of 2 water tiles and one plain; - it is much easier to irrigate as the closest source...

    Civ IV Diplomacy - AI relations and demands

    Even if you don't actually send units when a civ demands help, it does not mean that you are useless. First of all, it ensures you won't be able to help the attacked civ. The attacked civ may also send units against you, making it easier for the demanding civ to attack. Finally, the attacking...

    Please help me to make this game fun (I am eager and willing)

    If the Great Library is still available when you are able to research Scientific Method, the best course of action would probably be to build and research them both for failure gold :p See? Recommendations do work :D

    Plains hills and the extra hammer

    How many turns does it take to build your first worker in normal mode with this capital? :p Is the added :commerce: sufficient to research your first worker tech before the worker comes out? :ack:

    Im feeling overwhelmed

    Indeed. In my current game, I focused on the usual liberalism race, with some milestones like the pyramids. I was distracted when Montezuma decided to declare war on Isabelle, then on me, then on Isabelle again who asked if I would join the party once again. Oh, and Gengis declared on Sitting...

    New Start

    No. You might be large and yet have no food surplus to feed your specialists, in which case you cannot run them. Lowering the slider to get more :gold: is of no use at your difficulty level. Maybe keep like a hundred if you have events on, but then you actually don't want too much gold :gold...

    New Start

    Library allows 2 scientists. Caste allows unlimited scientists, merchants or priests. So if you want way more than 2 scientists you may consider caste, otherwise libraries are enough. However, it might be easier not to use specialists at all at the beginning. Try cottage spamming instead. Put...
