Ok, fixed and I'm almost there. The AI is now allocating a planet to the home systems and the civs are building/growing. However When I move my PDS on turn 1 to explore, it teleports to another system no matter which tile I move it to. On one retry it moved my PDS onto Lukas' home...

I have had zero luck getting a mod to work. I think I followed the instructions correctly: Went into the BtS/mod folder and copied the FF folder. Renamed it to "Final Frontier Plus" Downloaded the mod and copied it into the FF+ folder. Ran from the shortcut in the FF+ folder. Still no...

I have gotten back into Civ and love the FFmod. However... At some point in my games (playing at Prince level), all my systems stop accumulating overflow production. I don't think it is related to the Monarchy civic. Thoughts?

A trick I use (hmmm this is in BtS, so maybe this won't work in Warlords) is to activate a unit a long ways from the Independent border and mouse it to move in the territory...AI asks if you want to enter and declare...click Yes.

So thoughts on the best way to get the gems NE of Moscow in the tundra? I've tried building on the coast (Vraktu or something) 2W of the gems...city caps at size 4 (3 coast and choice of Gems/Copper. In my latest game I built to the east of it (Novja-Port or something)...the tile is 1N of a...

:) I finally caught on and had to squat a Spy ON the Oil to ax enemy spies. But ok thanks all!

Maybe a combination of game balance and national guilty conscience?

Monarch-level Any ideas besides the obvious stability-breaker of taking over N Australia for Aluminum and Uranium? I lost hard about a month ago as the Chinese when I discovered how lacking China is in the Uranium/Oil/Aluminum department. Not a geopolitical expert here, but that was...

If I raze a city, is it bad for me or the victim, or both (stability rating)? Irkutsk beckons, and Mongols be in the way...

At what point do settlers create size 3 cities with Harbor, Forge, Aqueduct, Granary? Thanks :)

Thank you so much for that clarification. At least now I know that I am dealing with something truly inevitable.

I'll try not to get wordy but will answer any questions for clarity...and thanks! Monarch level (Ultimately, this game fizzled from a challenge aspect because all my neighbors collapsed...from France to Japan) Anyway, I want to pick the game up from an earlier save, but I need help with my...

Has anyone had any luck by playing the Vikings and settling in the Grassland/river tile S of Inverness. I tried but the AI won't let me take control of the Brits. I also tried playing the Romans and razing Inverness and settling there...AI would not let me take over the Brits. Of course...
