Excellent, looking forward to it!

Afraid I'm not much help for the Heldeofol art, but I wanted to stop in and say that you blew my mind with your concept of "dual-classed" GPs. Whoah. I love how you're taking the mechanics of the base game and twisting them into completely new and unexpected directions. I'm holding out for...

I'm just a lurker here, but I would recommend leaning more towards 3 than 2. Fun to have accents and some funky letters, but how the HELL are Ðð and Þþ pronounced? Besides general player confusion, including such alien letters would make writing about your characters/nations much harder for...

Just want to say keep up the good work - I'm watching progress on this mod with interest. I've been holding off on buying Civ5 until a suitably awesome mod comes along, and it looks like this might be a winner! Really excited about this, keep it up.

Eh... getting back on topic, I object that the current picture is "androgynous". There's nothing androgynous about it, that chick's hot. What, she can't wear an overcoat and have a sulky look without being accused of really being a dude? I like the current picture, I vote No.

I want to chime in here on behalf of the silent minority to say that I LOVE the current barbarian/animal system. Ok, the griffons piss me off, but as long as Timid Animals is on I've never really seen a deadly barbarian assault that wasn't my fault for tripping a dungeon way too early. I kind...

My vote: no beginner's guide! I like the mystery and mayhem! Remember when you first downloaded FFH and you were like "holy smokes everything is new and amazing!" and you had one of the most memorable games ever because you were literally exploring a new world, with new rules? RiFE has...

Make sure you have the Timid Animals option checked at game generation. The times that I've seen AIs go down in droves have all been one or two super-strong animals methodically purging the world of sentient beings (usually griffins, it seems, and I thought they were so good-natured). Timid...

How is FFH Lore created, and how does everybody know so darn much of it? Beyond just the sheer fun of the mod, I've been impressed since the project's very beginning with the depth of the backstory. In fact, it was way deeper than could ever be adequately portrayed in the medium of an...

Re: the poppy color, I can say from first hand experience in Afghanistan that the white flowers (more like pink, actually) are the good ones. Good if you like society-destroying narcotics, that is. The red ones are wild and aren't cultivated for opium.

I too dig Highlands for FfH, especially for my dwarves. Lots of snow and nice long extended wilderness exploration. Anyone else noticed a marked lack of resources, though? I played one map that had not one pile of copper. Incidentally, made the mistake of playing with raging barbarians...

Oh when oh when will someone talented make a map for this fantastic mod? I am so tired of my dwarves spawning in the lush grassland with narry a gem nor a nugget of gold as far as the eye can see. I would make a map myself, but I am lazy and incompetent.

(1) I can resist addiction to vanilla Civs, but this whole modding thing is killing me. I haven't slept in a week because of EE3. (2) The only thing that prevents me from attaining perfect bliss is that I cannot figure out how to change an empire's border color. I've fiddled with the XML...

Thanks, Chieftess, GetRight rocks. At this rate, after an excruciating ten hours and a whopping 50 Resumes I shall have my prize. Be good to the Persians, and give those Mongols what for.

I am unable to complete the download from either the CDG or the (other, forgot) server, with either Firefox or IE. IE says the server is resetting. I get about 3% through before I get booted. Mind you, it might have something to do with a staggeringly slow connection. I am in Afghanistan...
