found the problem. hadnt deleted previous version of civup.

started a game with gem, civ up, ige, and csd enabled and although the game said i was getting +10 gold per turn to start it also gave a warning on the first turn that i was in negative gpt and would lose units if my treasury got to 0 (it already being at 0 as no turns had passed). i played a...

wasnt necessarily only the stirrup that made heavy cavalry possible but also breeding horses that could actually lift the armour they wore. ancient era horses would look like shetland ponies standing next to a medieval era destrier

ah didn't see that. it was a few versions ago and gives an extra culture point on top of that. was there a culture from shrines belief in that version? if there was and it was 2 culture maybe its that belief that's bugged?

is the shrine meant to give 3 culture? it doesnt have it in the tool tip and i dont have the artist selected, but its definitely giving me 3 culture. im currently on turn 40 of a marathon game with no social policies. im getting 2 from the palace 4 from the monument and my only other building is...

ive noticed the same with medic and also the other vanguard healing promotion. forgotten its named but it heals outside friendly territory or something similar.

lol the only thing stopping country A from leveling the city of country B with modern weaponry is either not owning the weapons because country C is hording the them all or the unfortunate moral issue of killing hundreds of thousands of people. fortunately it being a game everyone has all the...

carrier hasnt made the battleship obselete due merely to the fact that having a runway on deck means you cant put big guns there for coastal bombardment. shipboard planes are good for precision strikes but simply cant carry enough munitions to target to affect capturing a city whereas a...

think elizabeths ua should be changed to either increased strength percentage or range point on ships or back to increased movement on water. the added promotions on naval ships are of next to no use at all on longer game lengths. 20 turns of attacking or say 5-7 barbarians killed by any other...

can someone direct me to the thread where it was rationalised for elizabeth to lose her +2 water movement ability? trading it for for 2 ship promotions utterly nerfs the english expansionist style.

noticed a couple of versions ago ai were using workers to explore. appeared to clear up however in a recent game (v151.12 huge marathon deity) several city states targeted a barbarian camp. elizabeth's response was to send her workers at it then build more once they were captured and then send...

noticed this as well

i tend to only play deity marathon games, pretty sure depending on the ai it gets around 10 units. game i played today (v151.12) elizabeth started with 2 workers, 2 work boats, 3 L3 triremes, 2 L2 archers and 2 L2 warriors.

well archers were train to fire in unison in a very wide arc to hit targets around 100 metres away, though in the comparison, probably the best way to think of it is as thal says in terms of time and distance. like the horseman ifv example very different speed but the ifv moves its hex in half a...

have also found rediculous numbers of opportunities including the warrior op on turn 1. think the ai are getting strategic unit upgrades via them as have been offered the same several times without access to the relevant techs or resources. as well as the ai being completely disinterested in...
