First, that is a fantastic podcast. Second, I think the abilities fit fairly well - Bolivar was amazing at inspiring others, so I like the unique great general unit. This is also a good way of recognizing other vital leaders in the regional fight against the Spanish, like San Martin and...

I think one major problem with early warriors is that they might be great - if you can upgrade them... but in at least half of my games, I will have a complete lack of strategic resources despite having an empire with 12+ cities spanning two continents. Building slingers means your army is...

I implemented your advice, and I think it really helped out. Started a new random game and got the Cree. I only built 2-3 builders total before reaching feudalism, and I made sure to pre-place as many districts as I could. The gameplan was somewhat interrupted because I started alarmingly close...

Some screenshots along with an overview of where my game is at turns 50, 100, and 121 are below. When / what to chop is pretty difficult for me - is chopping really worth the loss of those yields - i.e. from forests with saw mills - for the rest of the game? And how do you play without...

Here is my general gameplan: I usually start with a scout and then a builder, though depending on what I find I may go slinger first. After the builder, I'll usually build 1-3 slingers and then a settler. I run god king to hopefully snag the free settler pantheon as well (which for some reason...

I'm a decent-ish player with no difficulty dominating on Emperor, but when playing Immortal I always feel weak - especially during the early game. I find that on Immortal I am paralyzed by options early - I want to build settlers, military for defense or early conquest, districts, get tech &...

1. Alexander - To The World's End [15] 3. Catherine - Catherine's Flying Squadron [6] (5+1) The versatility of this ability is fantastic. It isn't the strongest but should hang around a bit longer. 4. Chandragupta - Arthashastra [2] (5-3) Great ability, but I think its time for the war-only...

1. Alexander - To The World's End [18] 3. Catherine - Catherine's Flying Squadron [16] 4. Chandragupta - Arthashastra [19] 6. Cyrus - Fall of Babylon [8] 15. Harald Hardrada - Thunderbolt of the North [31] 16. Hojo Tokimune - Divine Wind [21] 19. John Curtin - Citadel of Civilization [3] (2+1)...

1. Alexander - To The World's End [21] (24-3) This ability is good, but has a very narrow focus: war only. At least Chandragupta and Cyrus have abilities that you can use to increase builder movement. 3. Catherine - Catherine's Flying Squadron [22] 4. Chandragupta - Arthashastra - [19] 6. Cyrus...

I have an issue with the way emergencies are handled in the game currently. While I like emergencies generally and think they add good flavor to the single player game, they currently do not live up to their potential or even their name - there is no urgency to them. As an example, I was...

This.

Is there any indication of when the patch will actually be released?
