Sorry I've been out of town (spring break!). I'm down anytime tomorrow onwards, but I also do not know how to host. Re: settings, maybe a rule that you cannot settle closer to an opponent's capital than your own in the first 100t is more easily enforceable?

Interested, what does this entail exactly? That I read your thread (which I presume is this) and not anyone else's if I'm commenting? What about the main thread?

Interesting! Perhaps it's a combination of a bad RNG roll plus the Sheaim not doing very well in my recent games. I realized I've never actually played FFH with unrestricted leaders :lol: but will give it a shot! Also on another note, does researching Infernal Pact not make peace with the...

I've noticed that the AI hardly ever founds AV, despite it being potentially very powerful (ritualists+Rosier) in the midgame. The Sheaim do sometimes, but hardly ever anyone else.

You sound like a great teacher! I got 100% on the civilizations in ~3.5 mins, I have played this mod way too much :D

I think your issue is primarily caused by your HDD. I had similar issues of long load times for civ 4/5/6 with my old laptop, which had an HDD. My new one has a SSD and it’s blazingly fast when loading games/starting up. Turn times are somewhat better but nowhere near as much, because the new...

Quick question: France founded Shinto in Orleans a few turns before I captured it from him. Shinto is currently only present in Orleans since France was not able to get a missionary out in time. I have already founded Judaism before this. If I now vassalize France, remove Shinto from Orleans...

Some general thoughts on Germany: I have two somewhat distinct images of Germany in my head. The pre-17th century Germanic princely states - embodied by the Hanseatic league for example The post 1850s super efficient production/war heavy Germany - embodied by the Panzer The flavour from...

+1 for this, if a civ is added I would love to see Khmer. Played them on Civ6 recently (where they have synergies for tall), it was very fun.

Seeing a minor issue, not sure if it is a bug: in demographics it shows me at 6/8 in military ranking, and Austria at first (I'm at 200k, she's at 280k). But if I look at her war summary icon (the little crossing swords at the bottom left of a leader icon when you are at war with them), it says...

Not sure if this is still in the works, but I had a few thoughts on sanctions after some experience in my current game, thought I'd post here instead of in a new thread. I do not see why open borders are part of sanctions right now. In my current game Indonesia held an important strait between...

I disagree. Firstly, the primary use of a prophet at this point is for enhancing, which a non-founder has no use of. They have no use for the spread either as you mentioned, so they have to create a holy site. But how useful is that really? As a non-founder civ, I really don’t need faith that...

I've noticed non-founder AI (as in did not found a religion) build the Hagia Sophia on multiple occasions now. Is there any reason they do this? I can't really imagine them getting nearly as much utility out of it as a founder: it just ends up being a waste of resources and increases their later...

Thought I'd report back here since I managed to solve this issue last week. I can finally play DoC after many many years :) All I did was install civ4 on steam (I had bought it a while ago but I always preferred playing my old non-steam version) - and the DoC loading (startup) time went down...

I had this exact same problem a little while ago, see https://forums.civfanatics.com/threads/quick-questions-quick-answers.573489/page-380#post-16106972. The leader with excess pressure was also Dido in my case.

Bump, does anyone have any thoughts on this? If not, I'll report it as a bug.

https://imgur.com/a/B4A0iWA I'm not sure if this is a bug. In the last few turns, Buddhism (Carthage's religion) has started exerted a lot of pressure in my cities - even cities that are far away from Buddhism-majority cities. Graz, for example, has 40 Buddhism pressure despite being >25 tiles...

Has difficulty been significantly revamped since the 5/5 beta? I just played my first game on Emperor on this version, and boy has the AI swamped me! AI Nebuchadnezzar (different continent) entered Renaissance on turn 150 (standard speed), and has a 10-tech lead (33 techs on turn 160) on me. He...

I gave this a little more thought, and the issue seems to me that Crusader Spirit does not give any wide-scaling bonuses. 500:c5culture: may be good for a 7 city empire in the Medieval era, but it's pretty meh for a 13 city empire, since the :c5culture: required for new policies increases with...

I recently picked Crusader Spirit, and I echo this sentiment: the city capture yields seem disappointingly low. Capturing a size 8 Maya city in late medieval netted me 150:c5culture: and 150:c5gold:, which was just half a turn of culture for me. Even the Maya capital, size 13 with 3 wonders, got...
