I've added no units myself. Only mods I've installed are HOF, Wolfshanze and now Merged Mod. But I'll check.

Graphics problems! Can somebody help? Previously, I ran Wolfshanze Mod (newest), and had some graphics problems. I changed to Merged Mod, and as this uses Wolfshanze graphics, there are still some problems. Previously some units were shown with bright pink skin, rather than the nice...

Help needed: I play only BtS, not Revolution. Don't I need that to play Wolfrevolution? And what is Merged Mod?

I love this mod, although suffer some graphics problems, and dunno if anybody can help with this? The skins of some of the changed units appear a bright pink, when not active. That looks really crappy and is annoying me a lot. I think the main problem is with swordsmen and heavy footmen, also...

The fastest way is to use two ships, and send them in opposite directions. And don't automate, it's faster - turnwise - to do it manually, although it takes more clicks from you. In reality, you need not sail the entire way, you just need to have explored squares on your map all the way around...

I use advanced start quite often, perhaps half the time I play. I always play Marathon (that's the slowest, yes?) and Advanced Start saves me a lot of clicking "next turn" A few "almost cheats" can be done with advanced start. With WB you can alter the game as you see fit. But using "lock...

Because the attackers dig a hole under the enemy's walls, fill it with gunpowder, and blow it up.

Some of those Favoured Religions just plain don't make sense. I'm currently playing the Persians, and by using Advanced Start at buyi´ng Meditation to begin with, I automatically foundes their favorite religion "Taoism"... What the deuce? One should alter the XML to always ignore any...

59b Using Workboats to explore can - on certain beneficial maps - get you "circumnavigating the world/prove the world is round". I did that with Ragnar once, on Archipelago. Either make two boats and send them in opposite directions, or just chance it and have them explore automatically...

I've never experienced any problems with Advanced Start, I use it often, but not always. Once you start the game up this way, you'll get a map of your starting area, with some suggested city locations in red or blue circles. The first thing you need to do, is place a city. Nothing else can...

You know what? I really don't know! And I never even considered this myself, but now I want to know. Try testing it. Go into WB and set up the situation. Can Missionaries enter foreign territory without open borders? If not, I believe the caravel might have problems going into his cultural space.

I believe you need open borders as well as connection to trade network

13. Do yourself the favour of reading the very experienced forum user's strategy articles and guides. I never grasped Specialist Economy until after a good guide, now it rocks way more than Cottage Economy for my games. 14. Play with your given tools, utilize the Traits, UUs and UBs. While I...

I did not know that. That was very useful information, because it bugs me if I wait for a city to grow before I take it, only to have it whip up another defender. Nuts to that extra defender, only attack if you know you can win, bringing overwhelming forces, but seeing the city shrink to pop 1...

Well, I haven't really had massive deserts for a long time, so we're talking about perhaps a maximum of a dozen such desert forts on a huge map. It's somewhat recently I've begun this, back in the early days I never built forts, sice I hadn't grasped what they could or could not do, and also...
