I fully agree. Dutch history classes are first about ancient Egypt, then maybe two days of Dutch revolt history and then the rest (90% of all classes) the second world war, which is in my opinion the most boring part of history and shows how the monarchy weakened the country. But I shouldn't go...

It is funny you made a private mod like that. Normally when I play the Dutch I make The Hague the capital and add Flemish cities. Antwerp would actually make a good Dutch capital if the Dutch revolt would have succeeded fully. The south was far more important than the north in those days after...

Nice. But..... Why is Brabant included in the Flemish civ? I know you say it is the Flemish community, but this only existed far later in time (around 1839?). So you project a modern concept (Flemish community) to a medieval past, when Flanders and Brabant were direct rivals? Until very recently...

Oops... :blush: I agree.

If you removed all non-European religions, you will basically end up with two: Christianity and Islam. Why not introduce Catholic, Orthodox, Protestant, Lutherian and Reformed religions? Otherwise religion hardly has a meaning in the mod.

If you have no enemies nearby, Democracy is by far the best. Good luck!

This was my most favourite game!

I don't know for the others, but my reply was meant sarcastically. I still think the original Civ is the best civ though.

@CivGeneral: This is for civ dos. I'm going to give it a try!

Ok. I gave it a shot as well. ;) Try #1: Let us build some nice musketman to protect our.... --AAARRGGHHH! Armor! FRENCH armor!-- ergo: goodbye London and Coventry! :( Try #2: No more Mr Nice guy! Moved capitol immediately to Birmingham; in the middle of the land (no sea attacks) and lots of...

Harhar! :) Again: lots of experience on these kinds of maps made my strategy quite good. I'm still surprised the Mongolians didn't slaughter me, but my ironclads really intercepted 50 units or so. ;) Your questions: ->How you deal with unhappiness?? How I deal with unhappiness? Easy. My rule...

Can I not participate in Augusts GOTM anymore? :( I recently only played the November GOTM. :S If you want to close the HOF I can imagine though. August is a long time ago. ;) PS: August game completed. Won in the year 1873AD with spacerace victory.

Hello all my little Catalan friends! ^_^ Ahh! A mission to my heart. A space race! All those GOTMs where I have to kill people and search for respawned crappy little tribes were pretty boring; don't get me wrong, those missions are also nice, but "variation in a diet makes people eat". For...

Thanks for the positive comments! When I pressed "Post Message" I felt quite guilty for spamming this junk. ;) I've noticed that the forum doesn't have that many screenshots of civ1. I encountered (in some games), some very peculiar messages, that I didn't see in a screenshot on this forum...

Ok. I couldn't sleep, because my game wasn't done. ;) I've decided to go for a space race victory. This doesn't mean that I'm free from war. The Russians, who are settled on Australia, Indonesia and Japan, keep on sending musketmen and knights. They are not though per see, but highly...
