I was playing a fun game as Portugal. 175 turns in, but I had other things to do, so I saved and shut down. Hours later I loaded up the game and all of my UI mods were just gone. The gameplay mods are still there, like new buildings, resources, etc, but anything that added to the UI is gone. If...

The OP mentions at several points the process of "blocking" techs as part of the strategy involving RAs and GSs. I am afraid I am unfamiliar with the term; could someone explain, or refer me to a thread that explains it? Thank you very much in advance.

So... did everyone lose interest in this game? I have been learning a lot and would love to continue...

Okay, been busy, but I managed to play some more tonight. I researched Military Strategy and got the free Great Commander, whom I sent to a high production city and settled. I then went Sorcery, Horseback Riding, Elementalism, and Hunting (so I can finally get that Ivory). I also traded...

Ha, first time I ever played Sheaim I did not know how the Mercurians and Infernals really worked. It was late game, I had missed out on the Celestial Compass, and the AC was still much lower than I would have liked. Basium was summoned and he and almost every other civ declared war on me. So...

Very interesting discussion here. I will probably try the City States/Agrarian/Cottages strategy some time, but for this game I think I have pretty thoroughly made my bed with Aristocracy. Plus I look forward to Royal Guards and the Guardsman promotion to protect my all-important archmagi. I...

Well I researched Code of Laws and switched to Aristocracy which helped immensely. I then finished Knowledge of the Ether and then Corruption of Spirit. Steinvik has become the AV holy city unfortunately. Still, what can you do? In the meanwhile I have declared war on Decius and conquered...

Uh, yeah, I am pretty sure I could crush him: Power Ratio is 2.0. :D Did not realize that about the Steinvik placement. Whoops! And I suppose you are right, I was trying to do too much at once. I hope to learn from my mistakes for next time! Improvements are as follows...

Okay, finally got around to the next round. It went fairly well, I think, but my economy is seriously in need of a boost. Perhaps it is time to go to war... My teching went Bronze Working, Education, Philosophy, Way of the Wicked, and I am now working on Knowledge of the Ether. If it looks...

Ended up being too busy to play a round today, might do it tonight if I can not sleep, or maybe tomorrow. Anyhow I had a couple questions: everybody is saying I should build tons of warriors to fogbust and defend from barbs. Once I get BW should I start building Pyre Zombies instead or keep up...

Hmm... fogbusting. I knew there was something I was forgetting... Actually the barbarian hordes have been fended off for the moment. Only a lone warrior is in my territory, currently perched on the NW cotton. It took a great many warriors of my own to kill all those skeletons, lizardmen...

Played another round. I am not nearly as happy with this one, mostly because the barbs have been causing me a lot of trouble. I have seen them send less units on Raging! Research was Mining, Mysticism (figured this would help the economy even if my workers are being pinned down by barbs)...

Alright, played the first round, things are going alright. Now on turn 53. Settled on the plains hill for the extra production on turn 2. Built Worker, Warrior, Scout, Warrior, Warrior, Settler. Also popped a Warrior from a hut early on and sent him to go guard the city. Started teching...

Not at home so I will not be able to play until Monday, but wanted to speak up. The bard settings are standard; every setting that I did not mention in the first post is default. Yes, I know I could follow FoL or RoK or any of the others but if I am going to be playing the Sheaim I would...
