Any idea of when the new patch is going to be HOF legal?
 
Will we allow the new "No espionage" option?
I hope so, i usually spend a lot of hammers in "espionage buildings" only to avoid troubles. Usually i stay passive on espionage.
 
it sounds like it makes cultural victories very easy as espionage points are now culture points and spy GPP now can be put towards any sort of GP. so my guess would be that it would be banned at least for cultural wins for everything else it shouldn't make much difference

If you're building Jails or Intelligence Agencies in cultural games, you'll never be on the HoF tables (at least not in the first place).

I guess that a poll can be a good idea.

I don't follow your logic, how is culture affected?

Buildings that would normally produce spy points will produce culture points instead when No Espionage is selected.
 
I just finished my first game for EQM on emperor. Do i have to redo them all if they issue a new HOF mod?
No, it still counts as a BTS game.

We will create a new versions of the HOF Mod in the near future. Once the new versions are released we'll continue to accept the old versions for a month.

it means your palace will produce more culture and courthouse's come early on and you can run spies as pseudo artists.
so it will make culutre games relatively quicker. it also makes it much easier to pop GAs
 
So should we wait to install the patch until a new HOF mod is available?? I'm working on my EQM and don't want to stop submitting games right now.

the answer to your question is on page 20/21. Basically to sum it up don't install patch yet. Wait on next HOF mod. Even after a new HOF mod is released they continue to accept old HOF version for one month to allow you to finish started games. Read these pages to clear up any other questions you may have. In the meantime continue to play your games on 3.13.

If you wish to continue working on your EQM then I wouldn't patch. If you have the space on your HD, then I suggest doing a dual-install, that way you can have both 3.13 and 3.17.
 
@ Methos: Have you any thoughts on what will be disallowed form the new options?
 
any you are willing to share now or is it going to be a surprise?
I have no problem with surprises I'm just incurably curious

I don't think so.
Usually in culture games you're running CS, thus you can have all the artists your city can sustain. Yes, the culture from Palace and CHs will help, but i don't think you can save more than 1-2 turns in the end.

But i'm a bit worried for my time games: too much culture can drive to unwanted cultural or domination wins. On the other hand, in those games you're usually pestered by sabotages.

BTW i'm curious too.
 
Courthouses and Castesystem are both available with Code of Laws tech.
