don't reload and you'll see how fun the game can really be.
In normal Civ4, the ais become very dangerous if you lag behind them in tech and their cities become impregnable.
In FFH, even if you start way behind, all you need is a hero or two and a stack of siege and you win. So games become repetitive, no?
I certainly admit I reload, esp if I lose my hero or something that I have put all my focus into for hours. It just isn't much fun to get a hero to level 12 and then not get to use him/her because you lose a combat that was 88% likely to be won. I never attack with my best units when the odds are not very good. I never, for example, attack with a 30% chance, and reload until I win. I don't even play with a different randseed on reload. But still, in plain Civ4, even if you reload, that isn't enough. You have to have a serious strategy to win on Deity level. By 1500AD on plain civ4 on Deity, I am always in last place. In Wildmana, by a similar date, always first.
And I really think that the "advanced start" option is a really bad move for the AI.
the players "knows" how to choose techs/units/buildings.
The Ai doesn't really know how to handle thoses choices :
should it goes for a widespread tech base ? or should it try to get up to tierII/tier2,5/tier III tech ?
a religion ? no religion ?
No single hero will live through that. Also in multiplayer games, heroes are not terrible important. They will get hunted and killed, no matter how strong. Heck i lost heroes in singleplayer on 94,5% chances... Got a nice building out of it though .
Is there a list anywhere? I want to know if some of these goals conflict with other civ's goals, to me that would add alot to the game, where war's are fought for lore reasons and not just because the Elohim got Ashen Veil.
I can't download the beta. I get this error trying to reach the beta forum:
"General Error
SQL ERROR [ mysqli ]
Can't connect to MySQL server on 'mysql4.000webhost.com' (113) [2003]
An sql error occurred while fetching this page. Please contact an administrator if this problem persists."
The other night I could reach the site, but every time I tried to register the same error would occur (including half the time spent trying to read unregistered threads).
Any tips on downloading the beta? Or is the beta almost over? I'm having fun with the latest WM version atm.
I hope it is working soon again
