Dear all,
i ve been playing this mod for long in order to understand what is going on.
Assumed we have free speech here,i would like to post my comments.
bad things first.
*technologies:
there are so many.My opinion is that so many techs making the game very heavy,and some are complete useless.Especially on marathon or epic speed.For example,tech research:stirrup! axaxaxaxax: cry:
*the game crashes very often.i dont know what is causing this.It is supposed to be fixed with a patch...
*useless and so many resources.i dont think that every resource was necessary,obsidian for example-consuming valuable space tiles for something better.
*Soooo many units-the same point.Too many,making the game "Heavy".example:light tank,medium tank,heavy tank....
*So many buildings.Some were needed in combine with some resources,for example:bakery if you have corn,or wheat.But most were not needed-airport,military airbase,commercial airport....
*Eventually someone must learn and create somthing i miss from previous versions of civs,but existed in Civ 1,2:The mount peaks connected,and be passable.Mountains are very difficult to appear.And someone at last should EXPLAIN to modders that not every mountain must be an active volcano.!
*Unavailability to disable future era.
Good things.
*Some resources are very clever-ammunition-for gunpowder units.Cause in the original civ iv gunpowder units require almost nothing.This should (and very wisely)changed.
*Adding more religions-another +1 good point.
Ancient egyptians and Greeks perhaps had the most famous religions of the ancient world.Someone at last added them.
*Ranged bombardment,certainly good point.
*Good addition of national wonders (allowing to provide resources) and other benefits.
*Impressive addition of civics.A very good idea and with many choices.Although,some like health system and education should not been removed.
*I love the growing industry-ilke the cottage-styl.!both thumbs up 4 this.
In Many big cities around the world,there is their"industrial zone".It is represented perfectly with this addition.
*Improved graphics,of course,
*Added random events.
*Weather effects-very good as well,but why always at sea?Should have been at land as well...And this has opened the way to ambitious modders to create some others-snowstorms for example.
Dont forget how Hitler's troops were slowed down cause of russian winter.
Civ 5 seems as a failure.For me it is strongly distastefull that religions are missing,multiple units cannot be in the same tile.There were certainly nice features,but now they removed.
Of course the modders cant agree with anyone here-like me for example.No doubt that they have worked really hard and very much,no doubt they have improved civilization IV.
Even if they can improve it more than this.They could also,add "legends"as i have seen in another mod.And i think that this mod is going to be playble for long.Even on its earlier versions.
Comments,opinios,always welcome...
