A few days ago, I discovered the FFH mod after a long time without CIV IV.
I would like to thank all the contributors for their work and dedication, because I am very impressed by this mod -as probably most people in this subforum are -.
I have also tried the Wild Mana modmod. I really liked several features, but I wasn't sure whether all these new features will prove to be too much of everything for my liking. Do you think it is worth learning the finesses of this mod when looking for strategic value in particular? Or do you recommend staying at the vanilla version of FFH with maybe an AI/interface mod? (more Naval AI looked really promising to me) Or maybe a completely different mod like Orbis or Rife?!
Phrased differently: which mod(s) do you recommend given that I consider the following aspects the most important ones:
-Good/Challenging AI
-Balance (in particular races/leaders, but also civics, etc)
-Meaningful choices
-Not too much micromanagent (keep it simple)
-Stable
Another question: which FFH mod is the most popular in multiplayer games? I haven't played CIV IV in MP yet because of lack of time, but if one mod is often played online in particular, it would be a nice plus.
Sorry if these questions has been asked too often already: I searched for similar threads on the forum, but most were pretty old already or the OP was looking for a more expanded universe instead, which I am not specifically looking for.
