Huh, you know, a general rework of the Xiongnu into a not just balanced but even playable civ could be worthwhile in the long run. I’m not sure if they’d need a new set of civics to represent them properly, but considering how common nomadic hordes were in this time making them playable and...

It’s complicated, because the Xiongnu should be strong enough to defeat the Han handily and establish a massive empire. On the other hand, they shouldn’t be going too far into Central Asia as that isn’t historical. As for Bactria UHV3, could I suggest a cultural goal? Their patronage of...

If it’s at all possible to “pre-script” a Crusade, I’d highly suggest adding a pre-scripted Venetian Crusade for Constantinople. Considering that the 1204 Crusade was so crucial to the collapse of the Byzantine Empire and occurred just after the start date of the scenario, IMO it should happen...

What might be vaguely historical in a stretching-it way is to conquer the “greater Indosphere” of Southeast Asia, including Indonesia.

Awesome! Will download this tomorrow. Are you planning on doing away with the Christian split permanently? I like some aspects of it—for example, how it played into the UHVs of a few countries.

Habsburg diplomacy intensifies

Please help me, because I am confused. Does it even still exist in 1.16? As the Arabians, I held onto every city west of the Zagros that I owned, and reconquered cities back for the Byzantines (since they were inept AI and couldn’t defend them properly). Is it just the fact that the Seljuks...

More likely to do so, but not always. For Greece, there were the semi-independent rulers of Greece in the 17th-18th centuries that were Muslim, and as for Ethiopia the Adal Sultanate name in game does work.

I guess that’s fair, but I do think it’s kind of stupid when AI France is ahead in tech, enjoys good relations with all its neighbors, has good happiness and health, and will inevitably collapse because it decided to conquer three cities in the Caucasus for no logical reason.

What if there were an automatic event, ignoring/overriding the usual AI, where an AI civ that becomes very unstable in expansion stability attempted to sell a Foreign territory city to a neighboring civ, or else granted it independence?

I really like most of your suggestions. Any UHV goal that is overly dependent on AI behavior is terrible and really ought to be changed. A few thoughts: You could make this one more ambitious, even. Similar to RFCE, UHV1 could simulate Justinian’s goals, with a bit of wiggle room for the Arab...

I’m concerned it’ll melt my computer in the last era or two.

Oh. Was the functionality fixed in a later version? I never played srpt’s latest revision, just the main “stable” one, where the companies never spread anywhere and vanished if another country took over a city that had them from the start. What if you lost contact but it took much longer than...

Ooh, any chance you could “fix” the Companies so that they act like regular Civ4 Companies do, or do you have something else planned with them?
