I tried searching, but maybe my google-fu is weak... Is there a way to disable the behaviour where your workers will stop working when an enemy is near? A mod or a crazy hack would be acceptable. I play raging barbarians, and it gets really annoying!

How does the sandstorm map play? Is the difference from a normal continents map noticable? Is the world actually harsh?

Will it be possible to prevent the automated city governor from spending all your gold on rush buying?

The AI exist for one reason only: To make the game interesting for the player. So if playing to win means teching up in some remote corner, then no, the AI should not play to win. So what makes the AI interesting? For me the AI needs to roleplay, as it makes the world seem more alive, and less...

This thread is appalling. The OP has a very valid point, but gets a bunch of elitist crap as a reply. The Civ franchise is loosing its way, and it is because the developers listen to the likes of Dale and others in this thread. Point of fact: A giant slugfest is not fun, except for a very few...

Or the one priests get (command?).

The landmark tags gets in the way if you found a city north of the spot, It would be nice to be able to delete it, like you can with your own tags. When the elven cottages grow to towns, they remove all of the forest graphics, thus ruining the treehugger feel of the elves somewhat.

I figure the time to cast River of Blood is at the very beginning, when you have a city of size 3, and most of your enemies do as well. You will then have a size 5 city while everyone else has size 1, thus giving you a few turns head start. Be aware that the AI likes to pump out a worker, so...

Good one Vorpal+5, I didn't know that. However it doesn't work with spells, I just tested it with priest of leaves and bloom. About the grassland vs. plains debate I agree in that case it would be bad to use full auto, but improve nearest city would be useful.

I think a fun way to use the settlements would be to gather resources. Obviously that is already the case, but I am thinking about gaining bonuses like the corporations in vanilla BTS. You would have these huge cities gathering resources from far and wide, building mega cities (or even more mega...

One thing about the suggestions here, about city improvements and randomly doing things, it needs to actually be effective compared to doing it yourself. Also its probably best to use already existing mechanics as much as possible. Would it be possible to use the already existing AI for the...

I have been playing FFH2 on and off for quite some time now, and I just came back to it. Its looking real good. I just played the Ljosalfar and I'm really glad that you can now cast bloom on top of old improvements, that really reduced the micromanagement and improved the game immensely. That...

I don't know if this is considered a bug, but it seems strange: Hell terrain seems to spread out of nothing from previously cleaned tiles. I suspect it spreads from the water, but in that case it would be really nice to be able to see this easily. In this game I had already killed Hyborem...

I think tech trading is way to simplistic as it is presented. "Here you go sir, the secret of iron working". What is technology? It is a lot of different people who know stuff. Ironworking is people who are able to extract the ore, as well as craftsmen who are able to work it and people who...

I have looked high and low for a good small sized earth map, with a normal size europe, and a reasonable number of starting civs distributed evenly over the map (so one or maybe two european civs max). A map for maybe 7ish civs or thereabouts. Must be BTS.
