How on earth do you get plus 24 foreign stab?

I take it you mean unimproved

You're a masochist for not playing NL from the 1700 start date ;) But as far as I recall those tiles are part of the Prussian flip zone even though it is in NL core, so unfortunately not much to do about it. If Hamburg or Lübeck exists you will lose those tiles, but as you have the 80/20...

Absolutely nobody has at any point claimed that Japanese civilization is inferior to any other, and I fail to see what that rhetoric achieves. US and Germany get better tech modfiers in order to make it more likely that they are amongst the more advanced civs as they were historically and that...

I'm sorry but I don't completely understand your line of thinking BaneFire. For one, isn't most UHVs a combination of something the civ historically achieved and something they didn't do but perhaps aspired to, "forcing" most civs to be played somewhat ahistorically if you are going for the UHV...

Or perhaps a GP generation malus? Idk - but certainly agree that it could use a nerf of some kind. As of now it's just too strong for too long for too many. Great post, Zaddy!

Man, I could write a whole essay about why I love DoC. To me it's the pinnacle of the Civilization franchise, that's really all there is to say I guess. I don't even wanna know how many countless hours I put into Civ I and II back in the days, but since playing hours became a tracked feature...

That could make sense, but 50% seems very high.

Light cavalry gets bonus in open terrain, and heavy gets a malus in cities to name some differences where light is preferable. They both have their purposes, and heavy is not always better.

That's exactly what confuses me. The crab tile is 3 tiles away from the native city, and they have that under their control, but not a tile that is just 2 tiles away, the one 1S of the crab?

Years and years and years of playing this (amazing) game, and I still don't completely understand how cultural control of tiles is determined. How can the natives control the crab tile, but not the tile 1s of it?

I'm not really sure if this counts as a bug per se nor if it's even fixable at all, but automated workers are smarter than they are supposed to be with regards to barb animals (I presume any hostile unit at all). Even if the animal is outside of their vision, they stop their movement - or...

Could the merchant trade civic perhaps give double production speed for harbours? Wouldn't that be "fitting"? It may just be me who really could use that effect from one of the civics in my current game lol.

Could the requirements for building Al-Khazneh perhaps be loosened to just require desert in city radius instead of oasis? Wouldn't desert + Judaism in itself be sufficient for ensuring a somewhat sensible location for it, somewhere in the Middle East? Also, if it's not too much trouble, it...

Is there any way to access the custom scenario options still, now that "play now" is the only way to start the games?
