For several years now, the scientific community has been promoting 'Global warming'. Whether the science is wrong or right I'll leave up to you to decide. However, if it is true, it would be good for us. 1. Global warming would hit the West the least Climate predictions show that the main...

This is a thread to compile a unique text referring to what the UHV goal represents for every UHV goal, similar to the current URV titles (Nirvana: achieve peace for 100 turns etc) . Feel free to make suggestions; if multiple good titles are posted, I will keep them both in the first post...

My latest two games ended with a cannon rush and I've grown rather fond of the little guns-on-wheels. Advantages/disadvantages First, let us summarize the pros and the cons of cannon rushes: Pro: + Powerful 12 strength unit + Only obsolete once your enemy gets cavalry + Collateral damage...

Hello, I'd really appreciate some help on my current Emperor game. Standard/Normal/Pangaea, opponents are Justin, MM, Freddy, Stalin, Hammy and Monty. I haven't built any wonders/NW yet. I beelined Alpha and traded it around; research went Currency -> Mathematics -> (Trade for) CoL -> Civil...

Global warming reform Global warming level (which represents CO2 and methane exhaust, forest chopping...) is represented by a single number, the Global Warming value. The higher the number, the more global warming. This number ranges from 0 to 1000 and can be viewed in game. It is calculated...

I just took a test on http://www.yourmorals.org/ in which I had to assign fines/imprisonments to crimes. The samples were rather small, but still large enough (+- 200 people) to exclude major exposition to randomness. Two almost identical crimes were in it: 'A man runs into the office of...

In my latest game, I was about to swipe the floor with Gilgamesh (I had cannons, he didn't have rifles) when all of a sudden Bismarck, my old buddy, decided to declare war on me along with his lapdog Suleiman! Worst of all, I had more power than the three combined - that's without counting my...

So, I send four immortals to a size 2 Samsun which I'm pretty certain has two archers in it. The AI, being the AI, had already started building a swordsman in it and thus could whip it, which I did not anticipate. Me, being an idiot and wanting to try my luck, attacked anyway and killed the two...

Hello everyone! I am a long-term player, and I've already completed many normal games on Prince and Monarch. On some mods, I've even achieved higher difficulties, but in the main game, I'm kind of stalling at Monarch. I hope to get some advice from both expert players and less expert players...

How would you define consciousness? What do you think of it? Where do you think it's origins are? What 'beings' have consciousness, according to you? I find consciousness very intriguing. Our world could run perfectly without consciousness, but yet we have it (of course, I wouldn't even be...

Now that the next version is up, I'll start and host the new UHV challenge thread. Rules are as usual: attach a save, give some screenshots of you achieving your UHV goals and mention gamespeed/difficulty/start date. SVN or not does not matter, as things are probably only getting harder with...

Suleiman has been showing some rather interesting behaviour last game (Immortal) I noticed he started ten tiles away from my capital, so I was already expecting the warrior rush. I beat him back, but a mere twenty turns after our peace treaty he was back with more troops. And while we were in...

I'll start up the next edition of the forum game. Rules are as usual: -You can upvote 1 point and downvote 2 points -you may only vote (up or down) once a day) -Please spoiler tag the list until it is cut down to a more managable size -No upvotes when there are less than 10 countries left. New...

I have created this WBS scenario for the RFC- Dawn of Civilization modmod. However, it crashes to desktop after the first turn. What would be the easiest way to find the problem?

My eye fell on an add above this page, which was promoting oil suppliers. I first thought nothing about it, but then I realised I recently visited two sites giving information about oil. The add next to it was promoting a game called 'civilization' - probably don't have to mention why. Which...

Hello, I've adapted the Earth 18 Civs map from Beyond the Sword so it can work with vanilla FFH2. It still requires testing and possibly buffing certain civilizations. I replaced Oil with Mana, Aluminum and Uranium with Mithril, Spices with Reagents and Coal with Gunpowder. All 19...

I've just started my first game above emperor (well, I won on Deity once, but Genghis vs. Gandhi Duel might have been a little bit biased towards me winning :lol:) as the Aztecs (Large map, 8 players, Lakes). Early game went smooth: I got El Dorado, a technology from a ruin, a culture ruin and...

Do you believe in god? (If it wasn't obvious already from the forum rules: please do not flame people with other (dis)beliefs)

I experimented a bit with the new civic 'City states' and discovered that by using the extra food you can grow your cities to huge sizes. It's not optimal when having a larger empire because of the severe stability hit, but when you have a small empire or indeed one city it's very useful...
