First, let me say thanks for the great work on the mod, and I think you have done a lot of great work so far. I would toss out an idea about how to make running FoL better for elves than other civs and to make a general point about some of the changes in 1.3. 1) One thing to consider for...

I believe that I have encountered a bug, which I don't think is on the first page yet. I just started a game with the Illians on emperor and was delighted to have started right next to Letum Frigus (sp?). When my units entered the square the event box pops up I can choose the correct...

I don't really want to spawn any great bards at all in most games. I don't think you can settle waned units as prophets. Given those 2 facts, my strategy is to build the national epic in a city in a normal GP farm location, so that I can use it to crank out mostly prophets and hopefully...

I am not sure that going with the GP farm in the capital is the right move. It seems like cramming all of the wonders in one city, and then putting the national epic there would reduce the amount of control you would have over the kinds of great people you will spawn.

Interesting, I was leaning towards spreading my waned units to 3 different cities, each specialized for a dfferent thing: 1. Heroic Epic city for unit production. This one gets engineers 2. Great Library/Academy city for science (probably the capital so I can get it going first). This...

Is aristocracy good for the sidar? If so, when and for how long? On the surface, you would think that you would want to run as many specialists as possible as soon as possible, but at what point do you folks think you would have enough available specialist slots to make the specialists...

I blame Crusher1's fanatical zeal for ruining all of my whip/chop overflow fun. ;) This also pretty much cements the protective trait as flatly worse than the other traits for most SP situations, at least for a monarch level player such as myself.

My new philossphy is going to be trying to focus on leaders that aren't "tier 1", and also don't depend on a particularly strong UB or UU to win. I figure that will allow me to get a more general approach to deciding on a good tech path, and a better idea of how to leverage traits. I'm...

I am beginning to agree with Crusher1 on this topic. I think at times I over complicate things by trying to learn how to play the map at the same time as learning a new trait combination and civ at the same time.

I am a monarch player with aspirations to become an emporer player, and I have a question? Which leaders do you think are so much better than the rest that they may inhibit your abilty to learn and improve when you play them? For instance, I just had a very successful game with Darius, but...

I was hoping there was a good way to do it a multiplayer game. I think I will just learn how to use the world builder to make some maps. Thanks for the help everyone.

Is there a quicker way of regenerating a starting location than exiting to the main menu and starting from scratch? This is more of an issue in some mods, like FfH2, or in multiplayers games, but it would be helpful to know for single player as well.

I don't think the presence of the UN will do anything to the negative diplomatic reactions of civs when you raze the holy city of their state religion. I don't think it is too big, but still he should be aware of it.

Won't razing the holy city of the world's largest religion likely have long standing diplomatic consequences? :cry: If he razes all three shrines, I don't see how he won't end up as a pariah. Perhaps he can use diplomacy to switch as many civs as possible away from those religions before...

I am a monarch level player, and I am starting to win more regularly at that level. I still use numerous save game points in each game, and I back track to earlier save points sometimes when I realize I have done really dumb things, or I want to try different ideas. The question I have for...
