    Thank you for contributing such excellent mods to the community! They are truly the most well polished and engaging I have had the pleasure of trying. In fact, you inspired me to attempt a mod of my own. Of course, I lost patience and the mod never came to fruition, but you inspired me...

    Achievement Saves (for the lazy and/or the frustrated people out there)

    Excellent work, Zinlana, and welcome to the community! Did you access the code to get those three t4 cities? If so, please pm me about or start a thread on your method, as I am very interested in modding (I'd like to set up a simple WW1 scenario in particular)

    Is SFA impossible to win?

    As the Ottomans on deity? Has anyone done it? If so, do you have any advice? Winning as the Boers was tough, but it seems impossible as the Ottomans

    Scramble for Africa

    I played as the Boers on Deity first, taking the lead only in the last 3 turns with the help of England's troops. It was a really exciting game, and the toughest I had ever played (I probably wouldn't have won if not for a convenient mountain range). Then I tried the Ottomans on deity... If...

    Thanks for Raiders, Feiling -- an ingenious approach. Sorry about that. My thoughts were consumed by the Ottoman Carpentry achievement. I'll try the Louvre and 10 artifact achievements considering I failed to get the Ottoman win by about 1000 points :undecide:

    Achievement Saves (for the lazy and/or the frustrated people out there)

    Actually a turn 47 win would be more impressive. In that scenario, the longer you wait the greater the enemy's numerical/technological/naval advantage gets (not to mention random events go against you and Washington becomes nigh invincible). I actually learned that the hard way, reloaded (shame...

    Thanks for the save zyxpsilon. Might I add that by purchasing luxuries with your hoard you can earn the soma tablets achievement also.

    Brave New World's New Civilizations - REVISED!

    A Venetian civ would embody the Medieval and Renaissance periods with a mercantile focus whereas an Italian civ would probably be post Risorgimento. A civ based on Emanuele's unified, industrializing Italy would be very different than one based on Venice.

    Brave New World's New Civilizations - REVISED!

    Despite not voting other, I would like to see the Swahili culture added as an amalgam akin to the Celts or Polynesia. Other than that, I believe these civs are inevitable: 4. Portugal 5. Kongo 6. Zulu 7. Indonesia (Majapahit? Srivijaya?) 8. Amerindians (Cherokee? Comanche?)

    Ideas for enhancing "A Brave New World"

    1. Add: an information age naval melee unit (stealth destroyer) 2. Rename: the machine gun (Great War) to the maxim gun 3. Add: a modern (WW2) ranged unit (machine gun) and an information age ranged unit (?) 4. Remove: the marine (frivolous unit) 5. Remove: the minuteman...

    [Speculation]New Units?

    As I recall the stealth tech has an image of a radar scrambling ship. I think a stealth destroyer like that would make the perfect modern upgrade for the destroyer -- the pinnacle of the naval melee suite. Also, a modern carrier (super-carrier, perhaps) would round out the currently...

    UU buffs

    True.. I was thinking of the battle of Thermopylae at the time, but I suppose it was the terrain that was responsible for the Spartan (tactical) victory. Maybe a 10% defense bonus would be more appropriate.

    Thanks for the input! I completely forgot the hunnic horse archer has accuracy 1. In that case retreating like the slinger would be nice.

    I agree that the slinger is terrible, but the Inca are very powerful anyway. Perhaps OP
