There is a bug with scurvy (in version 7i): It often (but not always) subtracts 10% of your MAXIMUM health instead of your current health. So, a caravel with 30 hp will be "damaged" to 90 health. I noticed it frequently with caravels, and rarely with other ships, although I've seen caravels...

I've been keeping notes on the TXT_KEY_EA_ items I've seen in game; let me share what I have found. First, items that can be fixed by deleting the TXT_KEY_EA_ text and letting the auto-generated list do it's thing: Resources TXT_KEY_EA_RESOURCE_BERRIES_HELP...

The ritual of stone requires that the city is surrounded by 40% land also. So, a hilly island could even be 100% hills/mountains, but still not be eligible. Are your cities mostly surrounded by water? I've always assumed the requirements for rituals was based on three tiles out, with the...

The problem is that they can take a city if they are NOT adjacent but are in range (siege units). I had that happen in a recent game too.

Speaking of Jotnar monster production cities -- I happen to be playing a Jotnar at the moment. Here is the capital, I've just researched pass through the ether and started the Nexus. The only thing that bugs me is that the game talks about how rare a new giant is, but when you upgrade a...

I think I remember hearing that the random leader selection happens before any SDK or Python calls are made, so there is no way to control it (at least no way without a MAJOR effort). I feel your pain though, it feels like a waste of a good game when you have finally met everyone in the world...

Yeah, you can cripple production in certain cities with the mass-vitalize ritual.

Wouldn't that version always do 75% (which is then increased by holy damage vulnerability)? Maybe in the "if (pUnit.isHasPromotion(iHero)):" section it could start "pUnit.doDamage(50, 75, " to let it do 50% - 75% (again modified by holy resistance/vulnerability). Note: I don't know what the...

I kind of wish it couldn't. If you magically change a frozen wasteland to some rocky plains, the natural weather in the area would make it difficult to make it any greener. But, then it would be impossible to know which ones have been vitalized and which haven't, creating a micromanaging...

Something like this? :mischief: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=229777

One solution, especially for the Sheiam or Balseraph, is slavery. The melee units give you a nice supply of strength 0 units to protect your summoners from assassins.

Actually, now that you guys mention it, I've seen the dragon's horde once in patch 'a', but I haven't seen the dragon in any 0.30 game.

Yes, that and the taking control of the ships. The ability to take over enemy ships and the hero promotion together make him a dangerous foe in the water. ("a dangerous foe in the water" was written as "allowing [him to] ... exert control of the waves".)

Meteors destroy equipment too: I cast meteor storm to soften up Barbartos, but the second one got a lucky roll and killed him. I tried to send the third one to start on the city defenses of the nearby barbarian city, but instead of flying over Barbartos' staff, the meteor nuked it instead.

Did you build Blood of the Phoenix? That is exactly what Blood of the Phoenix is supposed to do. (The BotP version is a one shot immortality, after they die and get reborn they lose the immortal promotion.)
