One idea might be to have towns only count as half a settlement for purposes of the settlement limit. Or, more realistically, have cities count as two settlements and then double the limit.

Here are some ideas: De dissensionibus filiorum Ludovici pii (Charlemagne) The Franco-German hostility is really just sibling rivalry. Settlements are significantly more likely to revolt during crises, with this effect increased as the crisis intensifies. XP gains doubled. Defaced Cartouche...

Unless I'm misunderstanding the mechanics, a Madrasa owned by Charlemagne and surrounded by 12 science buildings (some of which might be in neighboring cities) would have an adjacency of 24. +12 Science from its own adjacency for science buildings +6 Science from its own adjacency for quarters...

I always thought that the religion system from Civ IV (where religions arise organically* and you simply choose how to react to them) was the most realistic. For that matter, I preferred Civ IV's civic system over V-VII---it felt the most like an actual government adopting core philosophies on...

INCITATUS Incitatus is one of the most well-known figures of the Roman Empire. An emperor named "Bootsie" or somesuch planned to make him Consul, but apparently never got around to it. Nevertheless, he lived in luxury befitting a royal, and is indisputably one of the horses of all time...

My recommendation for that, especially if you're going militaristic like Charlemagne normally does: 1. Prioritize expanding your borders to block the tiles the city could expand to (by using the building trick, if necessary). 2. Conquer all of the AI's cities but that one. 3. Deny open borders...

I miss Civ2 Gold when not just making custom maps but making complete overhaul mods was accessible even to non-modders---even a child (like me at the time) could do it.

MASHONA - EXPLORATION AGE CIVILIZATION During the Late Middle Ages and Early Modern period, the Shona people of southern Africa (plural: Mashona) built many cities with high stone walls. The greatest of these was Great Zimbabwe. Using the region's rich gold supplies, they were able to trade...

This reminds me of Civilization 2: Test of Time, and I would be 100% in favor of bringing that back.

A Middle Earth mod could make good use of the Age system. Go Dorthonion->Numenor->Gondor as Beren. Or be ahistorical and go Doriath->Khazad-dum->Dorwinion as Sam Gamgee.

That tablet was probably included because it became a bit of a meme for how much it sounded like a modern customer complain.

Are you not entertained?

Yes. I like how Age of Empires 2 does it with the different civilizations---the UI differences are subtle, but still distinctive.

I could see a more subtle difference between ages (e.g., fonts or background textures), but certainly not wacky cursors.

Technically, it is on a mountain, since that's what an island is. A mostly-submerged mountain, but still...
