The neanderthal wonder is very nice except that it disables ambushers and maybe stalkers too. I never do try to get it for that reason. With version 44, fight or flight is now a must to get the xp you need to get 1 or 2 units built up. Getting scouts as early is a must now.

I think I found out why I kept getting bad results. I had been opening them up with stone throwers. Wanderers gave better results.

I started another game because I messed up the other one that finally worked out by having it set to snail speed. I went back to marathon and it is harder to manage animals, but I finally got another scout up to 4.5 strength, now 6.75 and it is doing wonderful. I have been playing with fight or...

I guess this is another big thing too. My goal starting is out opening those huts up and the first thing I have always sent out are brutes and stone throwers. Maybe build wanderers 1st I guess, then scouts.

It still may not be the best way to play, but I finally got a game going without extra units by hitting the save button on almost every turn enabling me to keep a scout alive until it got enough promotions to look after itself. It is now 4.5 strength and ready to take on most animals. I owe...

It's no fun mashing the enter button over and over. That's I can do unless I cheat. This mod is being made for 1 or 2 players right now and the rest can shove it I guess.

That's not the point. These huts should not have that many thieves in them ever. 1-2 or even 3, but this one had SEVEN. That's not right.

I have got no reason to calm down until some things are nerfed like the stupid animals and especially thieves. There is nothing to do but start over or cheat if they show up because there is nothing to be done about them for hundreds of turns. I have played this mod for 15 years now but am about...

Something needs to be done about the thieves in goody huts too. I just opened a hut with at least SEVEN of them right near my city. Of course, they come right into the city and hide out so I am unable to use gatherers to do anything and have no way to even scratch them. In this game the animals...

That 4 animals right on the border and 2 more very close by that I do not stand a chance with right now. There are others on the map of course, but not 4 of them right that close together. Basically, all I can do is hit the enter key over and over. Things are not bad at all until about 25 turns...

I tried another game, but it simply not possible to play it without cheating. It just cannot be done. I cannot take ONE step outside of my city right now without dying. And in this one I ran out of money too because of 2 back to back events. I'll say it again. This mod is now for ELITE players...

Marathon game speed. Used to play snail, but that became too slow for me. I think someone said this mod is balanced for snail though, so maybe I need to use it.

It would not be so bad but those tigers and haast eagles love to spawn right on my borders. I have been playing with fight or flight too with 44 and been able to get 1 unit a crazy amount of XP. It is level 52 right now and still getting lots of promotions. That scout can kill anything it finds...

That scout is up to nearly 1600 xp now and still getting attacked many times each turn. I just do not think a unit is supposed to get that much xp at all, much less a little more than halfway through the prehistoric era.

They were 80% flying units. Different kinds of eagles to be exact. They can attack 10+ times and withdraw before finally dying.
