Haha, I was thinking the same thing. Civ 5 isn't fun enough to make me want to waste time playing video games. It's not fun at all, actually... This civ fanatic is getting tons of stuff done while not wasting time playing Civ. Looking back, Civ 4 wasn't that great until BtS and...

Yeah, I hope they allow huge maps because I've read that cities are using a larger fat cross now. I love playing massively huge maps on the slowest possible speed for max realism -- only way to play.

If I had to guess I'd say It's probably because one of the leaderheads is using something that is considered a drug, and since it's a world famous leader it's probably seen to be depicting that behavior to be advisable. Could be the french drinking wine, a number of different civs using tobacco...

I understand Science no longer being directly linked to Gold/Treasury, but won't it still be linked to you economy in some way? Having population linked to science makes some sense but it shouldn't be the only thing - though having enough population and a good enough economy to support...

I suffer from a similar form of OCD... I often delay building cities far longer than I should because the terrain isn't perfect. In addition to no allowing an inland city to have a water tile, I also don't like my cities to have any desert or mountain tiles. A city also must not overlap with...

I thought I read religion is out of civ 5 completely? Am I misunderstanding something?

Since the Wonders show up, you'd have to assume buildings do too.

I'm going to miss religions... I don't think they should be taken out, maybe just tweaked.

Haha yeah. Diety is ridiculous -- the only way I've ever won is to use Inca and rush Great Wall and steal techs like a madman, but also get lucky enough to start by Gold/Gems/Silver and an extremely close and weak AI neighbor (like Lizzy or Willem) to conquer at the same time.

Yeah, I actually looked into doing it myself but when I went into the betterAI source the file that needs to be modified to allow more civs (i forget what it is) is not present. Would this mean that I just need to get that file from the Civ BTS SDK, modify the 1 line, add it to the source code...

Has anyone modified the Better AI to allow for more AI players? I'd love to use Better AI with the Giant Earth Map to allow the AI to do more with less units and make it perform better...

You merged BUG with it...? Hmmm, I wonder how easy it would be to merge Better AI with it....

This is really awesome Ghengis. Thanks for all the hard work. I had a suggestion that I thought I would mention... Have you thought about merging your .dll file with Blake's better AI for BTS? The best reason for doing this is that it will make the AI play a lot smarter, which would allow...

Yeah I totally agree with this. Can't we be a bit more creative with the types of things a UB does? UBs should actually do things that help you in some "unique" (it's a Unique Building, after all) way, like the Aztec UB halves your whipping unhappiness or the Russian UB helps you build...
