Anyone ever try the "More Great Works" mod? I realized in a Reddit thread that sometimes I end up with a Great Writer in the later parts of the game, but it can only do a big culture award, not create a Great Work. Apparently this happens when the game has run out of names for the books and...

I really like this mod, making exploring a little tougher sure makes the world seem bigger, it's more of an achievement to make it to the "new world" or some hidden island chain or whatever. A couple of questions (or may even be bugs?) related to what I guess you'd call "tribal" units, such...

I am playing my first 7-15v2, and I was startled to see not a single barb encampment (with Raging Barbs checked yes), until 880AD. Normally I'd see them much earlier, as in, when cruising around looking for a good place for a 2nd city. Meant no wandering barbs really. There were however...

Forgot to mention I also like the overview screen from hitting F2. Lot of good info. A second small piece of feedback, I am pretty sure the "sad" kind of alarm tone you get if someone snaked you on a Wonder race, is also what sounds when your Franchises take hold. This is to say, I heard a...

It's possible! Though at this point in the techs the only thing that could possibly be there is Uranium... Oil and Aluminum are already in play. Maybe I will find out later if I keep going with that game. I may also go back to that game to check a little "two separate one tile islands with...

This is probably more "that's a bummer" as opposed to a bug, but I will note it anyhow. Indonesia's Candi building, it spawns a Pepper/Clove/Nutmeg somewhere nearby on completion. A couple of times now I have been disappointed to see nothing spawn, not even under the city. I am...

A small piece of feedback, as I have only done a Corporation once in a game so far. I played Indonesia as I figured on guaranteed monopoly for the Trader Sid spice co., just due to Nutmeg, Pepper and Cloves all over the place. I played a YnAEMP so I knew I'd have a hell of a lot of...

I have still had fun with this, though often with big maps that have a less colonized new world type continent set up. Raging barbarians no doubt cranks it up as well, if selected. I have even had late game fun with this though when AI makes a bad choice of ideology, notwithstanding me...

I'm ambivalent about most pantheon beliefs, have to see what my start location looks like. Reading with interest some of the more advanced choices above, but I also have to admit I like the Zealotry thing (unmodded it's Heathen Conversion?), I just find it really fun to go explore and pick up...

Indonesia and their "special" resources (Nutmeg, Cloves, Pepper). Anyone ever have a problem getting a great person improvement to "hook up" such luxuries? Was playing a game a short bit ago, stuck a holy site on a clove with a great prophet, no hook up. Thought to myself maybe the tool tip...

I have seen that exact thing pop up with the unofficial v23, but it might be a question more over to JFD about that. I don't go mod-crazy, sounds like I'm like you in that regard. Unsure what's wrong so I've just been skipping YnAEMP for now.

I am not sure if this is a bug, or if it's from CS diplomacy or what... but I will note it here. Is it normal for a CS to end up with more than one city? Example, they beat up a neighbouring CS and take over... or they beat up a neighbouring city of a full Civ and end up with a second city? I...

Bug or balance / design, hard to say. Anti-air options (other than fighters for intercept), I just noticed that Anti-Aircraft guns which open at Ballistics, go obsolete at Rocketry just like in the vanilla game. Normally that's when Mobile SAM opens up. Here, we wait til Advanced Ballistics...

I noticed the occasional message that someone would Secularize... then not long after, they'd adopt a state religion. Then they'd secularize. I haven't played enough Piety to have recognized that maybe this secularization thing was a "one time decision." I'd noticed this both in terms of...

Can't wait to try the newest version, great stuff and thanks.
