In regards to attrition, suggesting that forts or citadels also give reprieves.
Just played about a hundred turns of a game with this, very interesting, definitely makes me look at exploration in a very differnet way, and exploration is my favorite part of the game, so that's pretty awesome.
However (of course ^^) I strongly dislike a lot of stuff the Community Patch does to the AI. Could you share which files ExCE needs in order to work ?
You don't need the Balance Patch, in any case just the base DLL patch. It really doesn't change too much from Vanilla.However (of course ^^) I strongly dislike a lot of stuff the Community Patch does to the AI. Could you share which files ExCE needs in order to work ?

Hello! I started a game and here are some thoughts:
- I suggest that barbarians get the immunity promotion for the surrounding terrain!
Especially in the north (where they should "thrive" really) they always arrive at the gates of civilization almost dead
- I don't know why but my scouts don't get any more exp from exploring...they did until a certain point and then stopped.
- The AI doesn't understand terrain hazards, when their units get damaged from enviroment they freeze and (I think) stay there to try and heal, but they never reach full health again :'(
All things said I like very much the feeling of civ with this mod...it's almost like living in an enviroment that is trying to kill you and you have to decide if you want to risk and go out there or stay in the safety of your borders
I have launched a few games with this build of ExCE to check things out. I like pretty much everything (except the extreme version of naval exploration at the moment ). The new resources spawn in pretty decent amounts, but I've not encountered any Tribes, even on Large Continents maps... still. :/ Either their chance of spawning needs to be upped, or terrain restrictions made less restrictive. I don't know how others have experienced that, but I've been unlucky to meet any Tribes whatsoever.
About half the tribes only appear once you enter the Classical era.
Too bad, this means, that to have earliest Great Scout we need build Barrack first, then explore half of map and beat few barbarians (I'm still not shure if that woud be enough)XP from scouting is capped at 45
So half of tribes tribes spawn when we enter classical era or they may spawn later? Right now I'm started in Classical era, opened whole map and no tribes at all.About half the tribes only appear once you enter the Classical era. They are presently limited to only pertinent continent types, too. All these things can be changed if Tribes are too scarce.
AI doesn't, but it also shouldn't be allowed to heal...
Enemy Forts and Citadels, you mean?.

So that means if we explore map early we won't have great scouts from scouting, because to have 5 leveled scout we need more XP giving buildings, that comes too late, so upgrading scouts to great scouts is does'nt make sence.

Playing test game from ancent era, I found only 1-2 on map, maybe you should raise a chanse just a little bit.
BTW sarting in classical era I had great scout is it okay?
Could you please explain to me(even though i won't understand it probably) what does the community patch contain that you need?
