There is a limited window when this stragegy can be employed. You can't do it too early as you first need to expand to critical city locations and build a strong enough of an army to defend against attack. Also the warriors cost 1gp each in maintence. So you have to estabilish enough of an...

I did change my mind. Came as a bit of a surprise to me too. After much tinkering around, however, I now believe that representation is inferior to monarchy with optimal play. This greatly reduces the need for the pyramids. Monarchy pulls far ahead of representaiton when the following...

I wanted to start by saying thanks for this great mod. I have gotten countless hours of enjoyment out of it. You have really created something special here. I read the entire thread. Having played two games to a win on deity I wanted to comment on various balance issues I have noticed...

So I took this game to a domination victory. Well in the interest of total honesty I played it out to the point where my main rival civs were destroyed and and the outcome was certain before getting bored and starting a new game. If there is interest I'll post a walkthrough on how to achieve...

Downloaded and tested it. Seems to work fine for me.

Revolutions are nasty so the trick is to never have one. It can be done, it just takes a bit of practice.

After playing around with a game where I do not build the pyramids. I have changed my mind. I think they are ok as is.

This is a great map give it a try. Its legit, randomly generated and unedited. Just a fun map, most enjoyable game I have played in a while. The settings are: Speed: Marathon Difficulty: Deity Barbarians: Raging AI: Ruthless Raging barbarians on Deity make the start a bit tricky...

So I had a little time and started up another deity game. I forgot how much fun mod was. I can't believe how little activity there is on this forum. This mod truly is an underappreciated gem. In my opinion the absolute peak of civilization to date. This time I am playing a custom game as...

On testing it with my latest game it appears that these are separate checks. I got both the refuse to cancel deals penalty followed by the refused to help with wartime penality back to back. So I stand by my recommendation to cancel open borders with large warring civs.

Its not different in LOR, at the time the Chinees were in a war with the Spanish. When the AI has another war going on you are likley to be ok. However, there is no doubt that I was quite weak at that stage of the game. I was the first to knights but had not had a chance to build them yet. If...

Sadly I think I have maxed out the difficulty slider option and now have to leave range bombard off. http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=410032 Oh well, guess I'll have to play some more LOR and start pestering Phungus about range bombard. :lol:

I also wanted to thank you all for this great mod. As was mentioned earlier a modder is someone who gives their time away. I am one community member has greatly enjoyed your efforts and really appreciates your hard work. I don't play a game anymore without revolutions turned on. Just...

@phungus: Congrats on your immortal win. Spawn bust ftw :goodjob: @Rodnok: Unfortunatally, its going to be a few weeks before I can sit down for another game. Big project at work due in a few weeks. I'll probably stick with standard diety though. I like to lose :) which is what often...

Fair enough, but the persians did not start with the wheel as one of their starting tech. They had to research at least two techs before building immortals. If they are going to stay as is consider giving egypt a different starting tech. Fishing, Mysticism, or Hunting would be good. Regarding...
