What is this challenge series? Why another one?
The NQ Mod adds so many new dimensions to the game compared with base BNW, that I really want to explore them through shared games.
Among other benefits too innumerable to mention all of them, Patronage and Exploration have become really interesting, powerful and well worth exploring.
If you would like to help out by submitting a map you've rolled with this mod, please send me a PM.
What is the NQ mod? How do I install it?
For this challenge you will need NQ Mod 10.0 and HB Maps 7.1
Instructions for installation and changelogs are available on those links, as well as the downloads themselves.
NOTE: Install the Mod as a local, SP mod. The MP mod has to be installed like a DLC and is 'on all the time'. For this series, and SP gaming in general, I recommend the SP only Mod.
Note: This Mod only works with Windows. Mac players are advised to use Bootcamp to install Windows alongside OS X if they wish to explore the full world of Civ 5 BNW Mods.
Why The Ottomans?
Well, since their UA has been completely replaced, and their UUs significantly buffed, it gives us another chance to look at them, and see how they measure up on this Deity modded map.
What do I have to do in this game?
Win, whichever way you like! Suggested VCs are Diplomatic or Domination, but you can do whatever you like. Play a Science game if you want to see how it works with this mod. The focus should be on winning, since these games will no doubt be a tad harder than previous Deity challenge series. After that, I guess the best players will be competing for finish times.
