Oh my bad, didn't see that thread before now. Oh well consider my post then a +1 on that concept. :)

I got an idea for the American pioneer: every era starting in the classical one the city gains one improvement and one building for free, increasing by one every subsequent era. This reflects the pioneer and expansionist history of the US as it claimed more and more territory starting with the...

Unsure if this is a feature or a bug, but as soon as I discovered Navigation in my recent game I saw barbarian frigates roaming the seven seas maybe two turns later. I was a bit in front of the AI in science, and I think I was the first one to discover it, which means the poor AI won't be able...

I had the same problem. After poking around the folders I realized I had to install it in the base folder, eg. \Sid Meier's Civilization 4\Beyond the Sword\Mods , NOT in \Sid Meier's Civilization 4\Beyond the Sword\Mods\Rise of Mankind, as the installer uses the previous version's install path...

XML error: The religion description in "A joyous marriage between ..." shows (at least the islamic faith) as a simple "T". Beside that, Press alt-ctrl-o, click the arrow pointing right then deselect Options Shortcut Reminder. :)

Atheism makes a society amoral by religious (Abrahamic) standards, but it is not amoral in it's self. If a communist society would best benefit from maintaining a religious populace, it would do so, as for example the first "communist" societies where formed long before Marxism (the Vaudois...

Yes, I see that too. However I'm arguing the moral dilemma behind giving only atheism a scientific modifier, as per the example given by Afforess (Islam introduced and invented many things and concepts which are the basis for today's science, or at least laid the foundation for it). Even though...

Norway is per our constitution a Christian nation, so in Civ terms it runs the State Church civic. However, in reality it's a pretty secular state, with very few regular church-goers, several minority religious faiths that are not oppressed (from the state), and progressive, non-dogmatic laws...

The historical importance of salt isn't the point I was trying to make. It was rather that salt as a resource in the game is unbalanced in my opinion, as stated in the example above.

I think salt + any sea resource + any animal resource is pretty imbalanced. 1x :health: from the quarry itself, then add an animal and a sea resource, build a harbor, a Fisherman's Hut and a Butchery, and suddenly I got 6 :health: from 3 resources. My point is that either the base health...

Thanks! I wasn't sure if it was a bug or just something weird I did when I installed it, but I decided to say something anyway. I have another question: Some optional features have been omitted from the reccomended setup in the installer (Ideology Civics, Resource Depletion, etc); is this...

It seems to me that the AI has a love for cancelling treaties at random (open borders/embassy). While it might have a good reason for it, the only thing that bugs me is that I recieve the "You kicked our ambassadors out!" negative diplomatic modifier, when in fact it was he who cancelled the...

I apologize if this has been fixed in Beta 12, but at least in 11 the Civic screen doesn't display if a civic enables Fixed Borders or not, only looking at the Civilopedia article reveals that. Edit: I hope it's just not my install :| Edit 2: With 11, and in an civic which enables Fixed...

First of all, thank you for a great mod-mod, the amount of features included has given me many a sleepless night lately! However, I'm getting a significant FPS slowdown with the latest beta, using the new darker interface included with 1.60 beta 4.5. Once I uninstalled it the game wasn't as...

You could try to start a custom game, but removing time as a victory option. :)
