Just chiming in to say "me too". I'm really intrigued by Agnat's changes as well (other than a few things like giving sweden an agricultural boost which seems unrealistic) but would love to see atleast part of his changes as part of 2.3 or above.
hm...
Have you already tested his changes ingame a lot?
What I definitely
not like are these changes:
- Greatly expanded city lists, and corrected some historical errors in city lists (most notably the Blackfoot).
- The requirements in Sailcloth, Rope, Tools, Cannons and Blades have been changed both for ships and for land transport units.
- Slaves and Converted Natives now also get a production bonus for Stone.
- Dragoons get the Leadership 2 promotion for free (as it was in previous versions of the mod).
- Mounted Braves and Armed Mounted Braves get the Dragoon promotion (higher withdrawal change, attack bonus vs Cannon Regiment).
- Expert Farmers get a 100% bonus for Barley instead of +3.
- Cocoa plantations can now be built on hill tiles with bananas or coconuts (so the food yield from such tiles can be increased).
I think most of these changes are already outdated due to Release 2.2 as well.
IF we decide to implement some of agnat's changes (as described here:
http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=531413) we should
only focus on the traits, new promotions and changing of FF order.
However, I cannot support in this regard (maybe only German translations) and I assume ray has also no time for it.
Furthermore we should
completely finish all bugfixing before we start something new.
