Hello everyone. The question may sound dumb... But what do you think cottages are? I'm not asking about game mechanics but simulation. What do they represent? I know what the word means (at least, I think I do). I just don't see what kind of (real world) structure would qualify as the...

Hello fellow fans! I have been playing FFH2 (more specifically, FFH2 + More Naval AI) with a lot of fun for a couple years. However, I wish there were more leaders for each faction. I see that some modmods have more leaders. For instance, in Wild Mana, there are up to 5 leaders for each...

Hello. I've noticed that, when the game gives you a starting position near the North or South pole (which is way too often :rolleyes: ), frozen terrain is removed from your BFC. I would like to increase the radius of this removal, so that I can found at least one or two more decent cities...

Hello everyone. :) I'm about to upgrade my PC, and what I use it most for happens to be... Civ 4. So, can anyone tell me what's the best computer I can assemble specifically for this game? I want better loading times, and less waiting between late game turns. Details you must know: - I...

Hello. I have been enjoying this modmod for three months. :) Unfortunately, I had to uninstall and reinstall, and now Wildmana won't start. :( I get the above error message during startup, somewhere between "init XML" and "init fonts". Here's the install procedure I followed. I...

Hello. I've just noticed that most promotions have been boosted in this mod ("combat" now gives +20%, "schock" +40 etc). Doesn't it make the Drill line promotions even more useless than they already are in BTS? Most BTS studies seem to indicate that one first strike is slightly less...

Hello. I've just scored my second Altar victory in a row, on Emperor level, and it seemed a bit easy. Granted, I got some luck, finding myself isolated on a large island, so I had no wars to fight... But it still did feel a bit early and anti-climactic. Without any particular optimization...

Hello. I am new to this mod and want to congratulate the team. What a blast! :goodjob: However, I noticed something weird yesterday when I won my first game... :scan: I went for the Altar of the Luonnotar victory, and no one DoW'ed me in the process. I had read from the FFH2 Manual and...

Hello. :) Has anyone ever made a study on the best way to make a good start when you have a lot of seafood? Is it better to research fishing ASAP and build fishing boats (FBs) working whatever tile yields most hammers? Or to research bronze and chop FBs? I'd tend to do the latter if I have...

Hello. When you put a project on hold to focus on building something else, after a while, the "frozen" project starts to decay and loses hammers. IIRC, it starts decaying after 10 turns if it's a unit, 50 if it's a building. But, I get strange results in LOR on this regard. Did you guys make...

Hello. I am discovering this great mod, and have basic questions. Perhaps you can help me: 1. Is there any way to use the BUG mod in combination with FFH? I have been using it for years in regular Civ, and now playing without it feels like wandering in the street blind-folded. 2. Some techs...

Hello. What exactly does a "+100 vs mounted units" trait do? IIUC, target specific promotions and traits are not added to the friend but deduced from the foe. But in this case, the mounted unit would have zero strength when attacking a spearman or a pikeman. I suppose there is a cap to...

Hello. I love the spy promotion tree. :) But it can make spies too powerful. In my last game, thanks to an early GW and 3 consecutive great spies, I generated an insane amount of esp. points toward my neighbor Pacal, and could almost instantly strip him from everything he researched: not...

Hello. When you have enough espionage points, you can see everything that happens in an AI empire. And this is a really depressing sight. :rolleyes: You can see their military units constantly moving to and fro without any kind of purpose. Isn't there a way to have them keep still? And...

Hello. I only play on huge maps (I need living space ;) ). But as the game progresses, it slows down, and litterally crawls from the Renaissance era onwards. Quitting and reloading from time to time helps but only for a while. :( I consider upgrading my PC. So, what's the performance...

Hello. I have been playing Moo2 again these days. Great memories flowing, and still a very good gameplay... :) Does anyone know wether the AI EVER builds a dimensional portal and attacks Antares? I have never seen it happen in my games, and that's a shame, because it means only the human...

Hello. I have stumbled upon a mystery. I play with No Tech Brokering ON. Tech trading, however, is allowed. Here's the mystery: 1. I am in contact with the Aztecs, Germans and Japanese. 2. They only have contact with each other and with me (carefully checked with WB). Everyone else is beyond...

Hello. Is there a way to force Civ to start each custom game with the same parameters? I like to play as Louis XIV, on huge, with only 7 opponents. Unfortunately, when I start a new custom game, Civ4 does remember my map parameters (huge), but it resets the leader to default (wich is...

Hello. Am I the only one to be really annoyed by the way governors (aka citizen automation) work? When I select "emphasize production", I'd expect the city to generate as many hammers as possible without causing starvation. Unfortunately, that's generally not what happens. Unless I click...

Hello. From time to time, the AI won't trade a tech, no matter what. In fact, this is relatively common when I only have ONE trading partner. In my current game, Suryavarman and I are on a +10 relationship, and he won't even give me hunting in exchange of, say mathematics. How absurd is...
