Thanks for this. I was able to edit other things but could not find Global Parameters. 4 should be defualt for the game IMO, not sure why everything must be balanced for tiny maps.

I am playing a game now with the AI mod and I have not seen them forward setting. You can find it in creation and customization for Civ 7 in the AI thread. Yeah it drives me berserk too, I can't stand it. Also can't stand them smooshing cities in 3 tiles apart. IU want to up the spacing to 4...

It's ok to argue what tastes better, vanilla or chocolate, because that is purely opinion. Thats flavor. AI settling far away is bad. It's 1) unrealistic 2) hurts the AI (can't defend itself) 3) ruins the look of the map. I may be biased, but I would go with the "settles closer to home camp" If...

Yup. Thats about what my game looks like. AI is ahead of my for most of Ancient because they just get huge bonuses but as soon as I have a few cities thats it. They are saving all their cities for little 1 tile islands. I would KILL for Old Worlds forced settlement locations in Civ. 1UPT = worst...

Not trying to be mean, just factual. The different element is you in your game and us in our game. The game is the same. Maybe you aren't playing efficiently if the AI is challenging you? - "AI not building settlements": I can't speak for others, but I was specific in my assessment: The AI does...

100% disagree. The AI is bad, and that is bad. Yes, a human will beat any AI eventually. Of course. The difference is, EU4/Stellaris took me a while to figure out (which is fun) and Civ 7 I crushed my first game on Emperor. EU4/Stellaris can still give me a rough game, because the AI can...

It CHEATS on Deity, it isn't competent. On Deity, it gets a flat +8 combat strength, over the player. On top of that, it gets far more influence, so it can "support its self" in a war more than you can. Therefore, you were fighting units that were at a minimum +8 combat power over yours, and...

I understand it's hard and it's something I can't do. That said, someone clearly took the time to code forward settling, which is a dumb, annoying worthless tactic (maybe it can work for a human but not the AI) but they can't code the AI to leave a ranged unit to defend cities? Stay with the...

Here are some things I saw in my game, and I personally would like to see changed: 1) AI is not making use of commanders. They have them, but often the commander will wander off to die, and then the AI just sends strings of units at me I can pick off. At least they build units and send them at...

Hi, I HATE packed in cities. I want them to have room to grow. It also stops the AI from sneaking a crap city into that little corner of tiles you don't want. I modded min city distance in pretty much every Civ that has come out. In Civ 4 it was an easy fix, just change the 2 to a 3. Same thing...

I played my first game on Emperor (they changed the name - why? 3rd from hardest) and I crushed the AI in my game. AI sucks. Firaxis actually got lazier, all upping the difficulty does is give the AI huge cheats like + combat strength and + science/food/prod/culture. 1) AI doesn't get how to...

MadMax: That quote is from the manual with the game to describe the included Earth map. I simple included it to show that I had read the manual. I am playing on the Included Europe map. Walter: Is there a guide on how to setup Lasso? I don't really get what to do. I have enabled "SmartTrim"...

Ok, so first of all, yes I read the manual: "Warning: due to the immense size of this map, it is not recommended that you try to run it on anything but modern powerful PCs and only on a 64-bit OS. In the late game, it will run very slowly even on those and can start crashing due to memory...

I just started playing it this week and I have no idea what you ae talking about. There is a button in the lower right that shows resource Icons. Press it, you see resources. This is default Civ 4 stuff, not a mod. As for roads, cart paths are rough to see in a forest only, "roads" are easy to...

Ok, thanks for the reply. So I have noticed on the Europe map that England dominates all the time. Their land is amazing, and they have nobody to fight. Thier only opposition are 2 barb cities with a crossbowman in them so they can't take it too early. I really think the Scots needs to me added...
