ahhhh ok. Yup, not neutral.

I've been playing the Elves the past few evenings, and I've gotten to the point where I have most of the techs researched. For some reason though I just cannot build Druids. What are the exact requirements to build them? I tried getting some Priests of Leaves up to lvl 6 thinking maybe...

There's a button to turn on the trade log - that shows all the individual transactions like the original Europe screen. To remove the emmigrants, just drag/drop them from your boat to the dock - it is a little bit particular to what spot on the dock, so aim for where the first one from the...

I'd give my left testi for an updated version of the first post. I've seen that same info spread out in other places, but that first part is the easiest to read and makes the most sense. I find it difficult as a FFH newb to figure out which nodes to build and which upgrades to take on my...

So did the PC's have to serve time in an actual prison before they became regular citizens? I thought their punishment was that they were essentially deported and not allowed to return until their sentence was up. (honestly don't know)

hehe sometimes reality does not make for a fun game :D I can tell by the quality of your work that you're already well aware of that though. If you split out the professions so that college and university are required, then keep in mind that those professions will be quite difficult to get...

I've been having an issue lately with 2 aspects of game play, and I'm not sure if it's core gameplay, or just my playstyle. First - it's nearly impossible to have any kind of early military action. By early, I mean before about turn 75. The reason - I can't afford to buy many guns or...

I can offer a brief overview of the game, but there are many paths to actually winning so I'm not going to get into too many specifics. I do recommend going to the MOD section of this site, downloading and installing the Age of Discovery II mod by Dale. It fixes and adds a whole bunch of...

There is a bug that's related to sailing either to the west or east coast in AOD. I reported it to Dale, but he hasn't fixed it yet. Until then, this can be avoided by not trading maps, and being very careful not to sail to the west coast if you should happen to find the pacific ocean.

Buy a galleon as soon as you can - they usually will not attack them as they are too strong. Alternately, I protect my sea lanes to Europe with frigates, they won't come around much if there is a frigate in the area.

I noticed when playing with Pirates that they can attack me without declaring war, but for me to attack them, I do have to declare war. IMO they should be like privateers - anyone can attack them and they can attack anyone else no need for war. It's not a really big deal, but once you...

I don't think Hoimar was complaining about the gun price so much as he was complaining that the indians weren't paying enough to make it profitable to buy guns in Europe and then sell to the Indians. Me personally - I rarely waste my time selling to the Indians so it doesn't matter. I...

I use my pioneers to chop down all the forests within 2 spaces of my coastal towns, and then do big dragoon stacks to kill the REF's artillery. Killing the artillery is the key and reducing their defensive terrain bonuses as much as possible goes a long ways.

Playing Multiplayer via the Internet with a friend, we have been able to isolate a couple of specific things that cause the OOS to occur. It may be related to the MOD we play, or maybe the game - no idea really. One of them is stripping a colonists specialty from inside the village screen...

Here's the solution to the problem: Set both cities to import and export food. On City A, set the minimum to something more than 100 - say 120. On City B, set the minimum to something lower than 100 - say 80. Now what will happen is that the amount of food on the wagon train will slowly...
