    New Tech Tree Playtesting + Feedback

    Scaling up Babylon's UP equals scaling down China's UP in the Ancient Era, and vice versa. Ideally these civs should be able to be balanced separately from each other, especially given how they both start in the 3000BC scenario but only China shows up in 600AD. Perhaps this entanglement between...

    Cultural victory on marathon

    Possible but very difficult (and tedious) on Epic with 3000BC China or India. You need Himeji Castle + Sistine Chapel and Cathedrals of at least 3 different religions. Haven't tried Marathon.

    New Wonders

    The +10 is pre +% modifier. With Cathedrals and/or Himeji Castle/National Gallery (+200~+300%, or x3~x4) it makes an important difference (+30~+40/turn, 3k~4k in 100 turns). Compare, how, Settled GA gives +12. Early Settled GAs is likewise essential for Cultural Victory. Moreover, Wonders give...

    This would make Cultural Victory even more redundant.

    Ideas on improving UHVs

    Agreed on all accounts. England's naval UHV could also be "Have a more powerful navy than the rest of the world combined". Ships are fun to build as the Moors because you actually do things with them instead of just reach a certain number. England's first 2 UHV is entirely a...

    Ideas on improving UHVs

    English first 2 UHVs are already a tedious minmax tradeoff between building Settlers vs building Ships, because neither Settlers nor Ships are very interesting to build (compared to Land Combat Units, Wonders, Unique Buildings, or even some regular Buildings - see Rome and Mughal UHVs for...

    Dawn of Civilization General Discussion

    I see similar effects playing as England. Europeans collapse left and right before Astronomy. Several possible causes: - Vikings beating the crap out of HRE and collapsing both - Byzantium collapsing leading to Europeans (HRE, France, Spain, Poland) taking previously Byz cities and then...

    Japan Overhaul

    Allow Samurai to upgrade to Infantry and/or Fighter (A6M Zero). This will allow Japan to build Samurai up to the early industrial era. The Samurai spirit had been an essential part of the Japanese national character at least until its defeat in WWII. Before 1945, all Japanese military personnel...
