I remember this happening in a previous version, but it was later fixed. I wonder if the same change (whatever that was) would fix the problem?

If you're struggling with barbs, I would keep them close enough so that at least their lines of sight touch. Culture allows you to see one square beyond the borders, so there shouldn't be more than two squares between your fat crosses. Interlocking city radii is best, but sometimes good city...

In my experience, jungle has never stopped the AI from expanding further unless they have better land elsewhere. So it just stops me from expanding, which is not cool. But I like that it's difficult to get at, although now that we can burn down jungle and turn it into forests, I think it maybe...

You can control what GP you get. In your capital, don't pollute your Adventure pool (except probably the National Epic). Use other cities for your scientists, merchants, etc. When you want an Adventurer, get rid of the other specialists (or don't let those cities cross the border)...

I think building wealth, research, or culture uses the base production only, so the bonus production doesn't help. Ideally you have some gold on a river to keep your early research going, otherwise techs will be coming very slowly.

When you're playing the Khazad, don't be afraid to lower or even stopping your research for a few turns to upgrade your vaults. Consider it researching a Khazad-only tech. The first time you might consider doing this is with God King, and a market (and merchant) or RoK (hoy city helps). If your...

It seems that the Gameflood download for FfH is only up to patch g, not h.

My understanding is that there is no way to resist Crush and that is the intention. Even Magic Immune does nothing because how can you resist a giant boulder falling on your head?

It would probably be best if you worked on one civ for a while and improved with them before going on, but do whatever you enjoy. That said, if you're falling behind in the middle of the game, you need to improve how you set up your empire... (Keep in mind that there are many different playing...

Obviously you would only use the Luonnotars if Altar victory is turned on, but then I'd use every last Adventurer if it would speed up my victory. Before I'd use up any adventurer, I'd just use all of the XP boosters to pump out lvl 6 units faster: Training Yard, Form of Titan, Command Post...

Soldiers of Kilmorph give 45 hammers (half their cost) on normal speed. I wouldn't want to see that increased much because the ratio of 2 hammers in for 1 hammer out seems about right to me.

Grigori adventurers can upgrade to Luonnotars who can build levels of the altar. So if the Grigori stick to just priests and adventurers, every unit they get can help them win an Altar victory. Otherwise, you could have one city focus on adventurers and another on priests and simply micromanage...

That's assuming you can get both Archmages and Druids, or both/all Inquisitors/High Priests and Druids. I was refuting the statement that Druids are better terraformers because Archmages take too long to get (XP). I haven't looked at the tech costs, so Druids still could come out sooner that...

Personally, I don't think that the elves are overpowered, especially with agriculture the way it is. Even if they were, lowering their healing rate wouldn't do much. The elves really start to become strong with Priests to bloom and once they get their cottages/ancient forests set up. By that...
