    Into the Renaissance: Protestantism

    In the renaissance, there was no Germany (in a sense) and Austria was more or less pulling the strings. Also, the Netherlands wasn't boxed in at that time, but its focus lay overseas. Other than that, I can't really comment on your post as I haven't tried the scenario yet.

    Will there be a second expansion?

    I really hope they'll add an Alpha Centauri expansion just like they did with Colonization for Civ 4

    Following all the complaining about DLC, are people happy that there is an expansion?

    This is very subjective. in my opion, DLCs are a cheap way (for players) to really prolong your amusement with games. Not all DLC is good, but Civ 5 DLC is (imho).

    Do you think Firaxis will release separate DLC for G&K Expansion?

    Reread the OP's post. He isn't bothered by it. My guess; they will release new DLC but any new DLC Civs that use features only included in G&K, Firaxis will warn the players they need the expansion to use the DLC. DLC Civs that don't use religion, espionage, a replacement for one of the...

    Should Mounted Units be Improved?

    On great plains maps, cavalry really are king again. The problem imho is really the fact that there is too much rough terrain going around for cavalry to use their speed edge.

    I hope they make ships more important.

    Early in the game, 5 :c5gold: / turn is a lot. And this is fixed in the expansion I think. You can build ships that loot gold from cities (or is that only the Dutch?) I think the biggest flaw with ships is that they are sitting ducks to cities. They need to take way less damage from...

    Throne room/Palace?

    Still, they could make it the same thing. From the menu, you could see your throne room filled with treasures. Every time you gain an achievement, a treasure that corresponds to that achievement is added. Just how I'd like to see it.

    Embassies?

    You mean as a prerequisite to trade with minor nations and to allow alliances with major nations?

    no mesoamerican religion?

    Ah, I see. Well, 2K stated that they added two odd religions. Probably just for fun. Perhaps you can change the name in-game? Otherwise, more religions can (probably) be added through mods. Also... You can convert to Quetzalcoatl in real life if it means that much to you ;)

    God & Kings Screenshot Analysis

    In my opinion, stating that you're adding 27 new units and 11 of these are (boring) missionaries is a bad marketing move.

    Isn't that bird picture a mesoamerican religion?

    Your Top Requested Change

    I would like an option to disable simultaneous turns in multiplayer. That would actually make me play multiplayer.

    Planning on shelling out $29.99 for GK?

    This. Also, € 30,- is industry standard for expansions in Europe, so I don't think it's an unfair price (as opposed to the $ 30) in that regard. Prices around the globe aren't equal, standard of living isn't equal, taxes aren't equal. I have no problem in paying that € 30,-. If...

    What are you not looking forward to in the expansion?

    Ah, my bad. I am also a bit scared of espionage, but we'll see.

    What are you not looking forward to in the expansion?

    I am really looking forward to the longer tech tree and the addition of units. It really felt like the musketmen => riflemen => infantry part was too fast.

    Lancers - Ever build em?

    I usually make one or two to pick off wounded units. They are very useful against those "I survived three artillery strikes with one health left" units.

    Adding a yield that gives great person points

    I'm not sure how it will impact the AI, but I am planning to add a yield next to food that gives regular soldiers. So the more food you collect, the more basic soldiers you get. I know it's quite different from what the AI usually does to produce a military, but I could still make it want to...

    Adding a yield that gives great person points

    Hi there, I have a question regarding a mod I am making. I would like to add a yield that adds directly to great person generation. Is there a way to do this? I can't find anything in the XML's and I'm not really good with Lua (yet). Moved to the main forum. Because the tutorials subforum is...

    Have you noticed the drastic differences in gameplay between Normal and Marathon

    There is one big problem with Marathon: The AI doesn't value units enough, so it loses units at the same pace as on normal, but it replaces them much slower. This makes wars much easier and by the time you have super-improved units, it is almost impossible to lose.
