This civ is deliciously overpowered if you just rush production and city spam with authority, which then shifts gear into turbo when you finally spam out a bunch of UU's (and even better with zealotry siege units) with giga XP AND authority's combat boons.

Are orders and hero worship still overpowered in your patch? If so, take those and rush the enhancer that lets you buy units with faith. Uncontested best combination for a religion. If that sounds too boring for you then mosques or cathedrals synergize perfectly with the aztec golden age bonus...

1. Authority is literally always better than progress (I still play an old patch), and warmongering is always better than passive expansion so pick it. 2. Progress isn't better than a medieval tree so never pick it. 3. God of the sea will definitely be taken first by the AI so do go for a shrine...

Warmonger always if I'm not in a position to win passively through turtling. The AI is so braindead that it's easy enough to set up potent and low maintenance formations on your borders for defense. That, and with careful planning ahead of time you can conquer into mountain borders making...

I can't seem to find it anywhere in the VP folder, so is it safe to assume it has to be changed in the dll?

All of these are good ideas except the natural wonder events, which would overbuff natural wonders and make snowballing much more dependent on map RNG than it ought (unless such events were made inconsequentially weak, which would make them useless anyways.) I'm not sure if oneshot events are a...

Finally got around to trying out this civ, I have yet to complete it as I had to restart because you apparently can't steal a religion and add beliefs to it, you have it found it yourself to be able to steal religious beliefs (so no stealing byzantium's religion like I had hoped lol.) I'll...

Unfortunately the issue with trade routes not displaying properly is still present after the fix (using the october version of Chola and a 2.0 patch from june 1 2022.) At first trade routes worked fine, then they started only showing the previous cities trade routes, and eventually at turn 200~...

things like this should be added as options in the files. Same with not being able to trade GPT for cities and such.

Thank you sir, by chance is there a guide somewhere on this forum for learning the different variables that can be changed in SQL files?

How do I remove a single production yield from specifically tundra hills? I'm not at all a modder and only know how to modify or repurpose lines from .sql files, so this is what I came up with to no success: UPDATE Terrain_Yields SET Yield = '-1' WHERE TerrainType = 'TERRAIN_TUNDRA' AND...

I don't think authority is really as "feast or famine" as you say. There's always going to be either a nearby civ to conquer or (if the map has the civs more spread out) barb camps. If a player chooses not to use raging barbs, then the lack of on-kill yields is their fault. Even still, I think...

For one I think the changes should probably be put in a modmod, I think the more changes that are added to the base mod in general just serve to potentially break older mods. That aside, I think the proper implementation is to allow only naval buildings to be constructed from canals but not...

I think the AI is working as intended, it's just that the AI always treats warmongers with a lot of cities/troops better than a tradition civ that is outpacing them on culture/science/wonders. Ergo, they always try a sanction on a successful tradition civ while barely if ever doing it when you...

Sieges are pretty boring to me these days but they're not difficult at all. It's just a matter of getting cover I/II melee troops, proper amounts of ranged and mounted units, and grinding down enemy troops until you can safetly move them into position for the siege, and retreating as necessary...
