I used some once in a multiplayer game where a player was about to win a diplomatic victory (had enough people to get elected with his own vote), so I nuked several of how cities to see how it works. I knew this wouldn't be enough to reduce his population to prevent him from winning ... let's...

Totally agree. I really miss this feature as well. After capturing a capital, all the rioting cities (or the farther ones, don't remember) were forming a new "rebel" empire, while the other cities would stay in the old "loyal" empire. That was really fun. Now capturing a capital is just like...

It's gonna be Ragnar

:lol: :lol: :lol: Good point

A single-use air-based unit inflicting collateral damages and/or weakening city defenses would be very nice indeed. It would allow to diversify air attacks (fighters, bombers, missiles, ...). I like the idea.

In my games, I've not noticed that the AI leaders were often the same ... but as I read this thread, with many of you agreeing with PoweredBySoy, I wonder if the AI selection is linked to the game settings (that is to say which AI's are choosen is not really random, but linked to what the game's...

Good point. It could be played like for Wonders : sometimes destroyed (Alexandria Great Library maybe destroyed by the Romans ... I say "maybe" because I guess we'll never know what really happened to it), or sometimes not (Chitzen Itza still existing after Spanish conquest). This could be an...

What Marcellus had ordered or not doesn't really matter here. The result is here : Archimedus was killed during Syracuse capture. Thus for me it makes sense that GP die when you capture a city. That's what I wanted to point out.

Just ask the Roman legions why they killed Archimedus when they captured Syracuse ... Killing GP is unfortunate, I agree, but realistic ...

I already had a similar situation ... as far as I understand, I guess you're alone on your island. This means no external trade route : here is the root cause of your money problem. But you're on the good way : you're searching astronomy, which will enable you to trade through ocean squares...

I've often played against Julius Caesar or Louis XIV, rarely against Huayna Capac ... so maybe "random leader" is not such a big lie ;)

With the system you propose, who would sign for a civilian or full open borders agreement ? Nobody, you would have absolutely no interest in it. So religious missionaries would never be allowed to spread religions, and your units (military or scout) would never explore ennemy territory. With...

You're welcome, I'm glad I could help. I did that quite simply, just image modification with GIMP or any picture software that supports dds. In the 2 spearman dds files, you have this very recognizable half-shield part on the right side. I just copied the half-symbol and pasted it after a...

OK ComG I had a look at your unit. I guess the easiest way to get the shield as you wish is not to rotate it in the NIF Viewer but to modify the shield texture in the associated skin file, spearman_128.dds (and in spearman_128_gloss.dds file too). Please tell me if you find it better this way ...

Really nice job :thumbsup: I'll have a look in the NIF to see if I can rotate the shield
