Could someone throw the installer up on Google Drive or something in the meantime? Mega's been down for a while.

Think I found a bug. I play on the Giant Earth Map with randomized start locations, but when I hit 'restart' on turn 0, the natural wonders don't get placed on the map. Everything else seems to work fine, including resource generation, etc, it's just the natural wonders are missing. It takes...

How's everything going? I'm excited to try out your new events!

I'm also not sure that naval units being a coastal menace is at all a bad thing. That's the point of them. They can't engage with armies unless they're right next to the sea, which is a massive restriction. Naval dominance, owning the sea, is supposed to be a huge advantage. Neutering ranged...

Philosophically, I agree. It definitely adds a lot of strategic depth to naval combat. However, the massive gameplay impact is that this makes it almost impossible to take cities with your navy until Cruisers. Maybe the answer is to beef up the unit strengths to make up for being able to bombard...

Where in the mod files is this option? I'd like to try it out.

Yeah, this is one of the edits I always make after updating. I know the xp cap is to stop humans cheesing it by farming barb camps to make super soldiers, but I don't do that and I only play single player, so I uncapped it by setting the cap to - 1.

Not a bad idea. Or, to tweak/clarify my concept - what if the Legion CS bonus didn't scale with size difference? Say, 20% stronger against any civ with fewer cities, no matter how many fewer. Not sure if I had implied that it would scale with the city delta, but that wasn't my intention.

I agree, which is why I suggested the proposed promotion should be lost upon upgrading to Longswordsmen. What do you think of the rest of the concept?

Rome primarily grew by absorbing weaker groups into itself. What if the Legion got a unique promotion that boosted Combat Strength against civs with fewer cities than Rome? It would kind of be a reversed version of Ethiopia's bonus. The promotion would be pretty snowbally and incredibly OP on...

I think you're on to something. I play on Epic speed and enormous maps, so my pathfinders are highly promoted badasses way before horsemen come online.

I'll voice a dissenting opinion here. I view it as a way to 'invest' unit experience into greater future promotions. I think it presents a really interesting decision to the player, and I would actually support a similar mechanic on other units as well - a promotion that doesn't make the unit...

G, is the city founding/ancient ruin bug what was causing my issues with YNAEMP?

Gotcha. I'll confirm this afternoon, but I'm pretty sure it was crashing with just VP+YNAEMP. I'll file it on Github once I nail down reproducing the issue.

G, after more testing, it seems like the latest update has made YNAEMP pretty cranky. I get turn 1 CTDs most of the time on Giant Earth Map, and crashes in the late ~classical era on Greatest Europe. The crashes are more frequent and reproducible when I also enable IGE, unique city states, or...
