    Community Game - Rome on Monarch/Marathon

    Having more cities with smaller or overlapping areas might help for now, as health and unhappiness from large populations are harder to deal with. I'm sure there will be plenty of opportunities to ahem, depopulate it later on.

    Bug Reports and Technical Issues

    English dragoons and cavalry unit arts seems to be mixed. Cavalry has the unit style of musketmen, and dragoons of riflemen.

    Digital Era buildings and effects discussion

    One way I deal with unhealthiness is simply founding more cities for the same resources, especially food obviously. In addition to those sweet, sweet trade routes, you also make more efficient use of resources. Basically more pop for the same amount of food. It makes sense to me - spreading...

    The Chinese Unique Power

    Is it possible to encourage AI to increase the culture slider at expense of science when they're tech leader, or are otherwise advancing too fast? In addition to reducing unbalancing tech leads, it also emphasizes culture more which is much needed. Right now as player I'll easily out-culture...

    Plans for DoC 1.16

    Could there be a gold cost associated with planting forests? Or perhaps 'planted forest' as extra tiletype.

    Plans for DoC 1.16

    What about a Celtic civilization in Gaul, Spain and Britain? We mostly identity Celtic as a language nowadays but the case can be made that a Celtic civilization was emerging before the Roman smashed it. They shared culture, customs, language, religion and a political system though it was tribal...

    Plans for DoC 1.16

    Can I report your caps lock key in bug reports and technical issues? I do agree on the conquered city and razing aspect. I wonder if the razing penalty can be offset by expansion bonus of settling perhaps? Or through the increased commerce from it? Just brainstorming here to be honest. Possibly...

    Plans for DoC 1.16

    South Africa as a post-colonial Civ like Argentina, etc., I can get into. The reason I didn't mention it before is because I do appreciate space to expand into during the mid game. Filling up the entire map with civs is probably not a good idea from that perspective.

    Plans for DoC 1.16

    Central Asian civ - yes. Africa? Not sure. Africa is mostly very barren because it's mostly desert or jungle, as it should be. Morocco, Egypt, Ethiopia, Mali and Kongo fill up the remaining habitable space quite nicely And Kievan Rus? Also not sure. Poland really needs that space, and...

    Alternative Map for DOC

    If we can't find a way to put a windmill on a Dutch historic tile, I'm not playing it.

    Suggestions and Requests

    There's historic parallels to be made here, especially in recent times. I could name a few but its frankly too depressing to get into. It's kind of like chattel slavery; it's historically so significant, I appreciate its in-game but I can't say it's a 'fun' feature. Speaking of significance...

    Voice Acting Bonanza!

    I have access to a network of English-speaking actors (some native) and actresses through my wife. I might be able to convince some with a bottle of wine (those artsy people like their alcohol). What exactly are we looking for here? Seriously Nemoys? Give me some specifics and I'll ask around...
