    [BTS] TyrMegMa40 mod Mega-Marathon with 34 civs

    First off: this mod is awesome and has kind of become my go-to. I think I've ruined every other mapsize and speed now, they feel small and fast. Great work! Also: I'm trying to combine this with BUG or BAT or something to improve the interface, because quite frankly, games this big are...

    Breaking the Monarch Barrier

    Sorry it's been a few days, it'll probably have to be a few more. I've got a lot of stuff going on at the moment, this'll end up on the back burner for now. I still intend to play further though.

    Breaking the Monarch Barrier

    I'll get a post of my tech options soon, forgot to deselect. The granary is honestly a big mystery to me, all I know is that it tends to magic up a lot of food that usually is about half of the food bin. @lymond I have a Worker up there chopping, as well as another one finishing off the Wheat...

    What should I be teching after Math? I would normally go to Currency to get the trade routes.

    [BTS] News: BOTM 206 - Vikings, starts Feb 01 2021

    I'm pretty sure that's how it works. So you could end up with a giant religion-lovefest between Shaka, Izzy, and Monty, while Ghandi, Mansa, and Asoka are plotting behind your back. Meanwhile Tokugawa might actually be useful for once. Not sure how many traits it actually changes though...

    Breaking the Monarch Barrier

    I would think you'd lost your double-production-speed-for-the-Oracle resources. But I've heard of the infamous BC Deity launch, so I guess it's not as impossible as I would think. It's fine, I'm happy to read your write-up here, I'll keep playing through my own game though. Maybe after I finish...

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Long_Ships This seems to be a likely source for the name. Edit: Oh, should've clicked reload first. Heh.

    Breaking the Monarch Barrier

    Sorry about the delay, had some stuff I had to do over the weekend. I just finished off Alpha, what should I be looking for in a trade? Anything here worth grabbing? Mao looks like he's offering the best deal so far, with Hunting and Sailing for Writing and Mysticism. He's also the lowest on...

    Breaking the Monarch Barrier

    What I think I know about roads: moving onto a road uses 1/2 MP (pre-Engineering, post-Engineering I think it's 1/3) unless you're crossing a river before researching Construction. The 1/2 movement cost doesn't change even if the road is on a forested hill. So the settlers would've been able to...

    Breaking the Monarch Barrier

    I built the boat immediately after the Settler, didn't even think to do it ahead of time. Also that's a good note about the forest. Again, I didn't even think about it as it's outside the BFC of anything I have on the map.

    Breaking the Monarch Barrier

    The Warriors in my capitol and second city are there to keep the happy cap up so I can work all the improved tiles. The Warrior in my third city was retreating from a barb Spearman and now I'm not sure I want to move him back out, because randomly losing 15 hammers is something I'd like to avoid...

    Breaking the Monarch Barrier

    I replayed the last set of turns with the slow-build monument from the cows, although I don't see how finishing the Mids will be possible. Wonsan has access to four forests, given how many base hammers it has, they should be done around turn 90-95. I'm not convinced that's fast enough. Here's a...

    Breaking the Monarch Barrier

    I played a few turns, not much developed. I have a third worker, with a fourth coming, and another settler on the way as well. I decided to chop the monument in Wonsan, would've taken ages otherwise. What sort of improvements should I be building up there? Post-machinery I would be building...

    Breaking the Monarch Barrier

    Here's what I did instead of what I did previously: slow-built a Settler chopping one forest for it. Put hammers into a library while growing to size five as quickly as possible so I can work the extra cottage I have up, and then build a third Worker. I have three cities up at T59. I'm building...
