I have gotten some feedback about the Ottomans not performing too well. Can people give me more context on their observations? Where do they stall out? Early or mid or long term? Have you observed any commonality in when they struggle? For example, strong Arabs or Byzantines? Personally I...

New update: - improved Rus settler map - added Deer near Novgorod - fixed a bug that caused additional units to be generated twice - improved selection of city sites - Saint Sophia's Cathedral: reduced cost, requires Guilds and Deer, grants free Skirmish promotion to Melee, Light Cavalry, and...

You're not losing a turn. The switch now always happens when the turn rolls over but you get asked one turn earlier than before. With the previous system you actually would sometimes lose a turn. If you switched to a civ that is before your current one in the turn order then you would lose...

Not very. All that I said is that there is no major feature left to implement. My planning board currently has 50 tasks left to do. Some of them may be duplicates or long term things that do not need to happen in 1.18, but it's not just minor work. I usually let everyone know when we are...

I wrote a long post in the bug reports thread to explain the principle behind this. But that probably isn't actionable as a playtester. My most important request is that if you observe a situation you'd like to report, identify the cause of the situation and give me the save right before the...

Regarding the excessive ship building, a save where I can see the AI start building another ship in one of its cities would be the most helpful. That way I can see which part of the AI causes it.

You can just set iMovement to 2 for the terrain as well.

The way the tech divergence modifier works is that the full research value of all techs discovered by a civilization is compared against a baseline value. If you are sufficiently below it, you get a bonus, if you are sufficiently above it, you get a penalty. Previously, this baseline was the...

New update: - Merchant Trade: removed +1 commerce from merchant - adjusted baseline for tech divergence modifier - reverted Portuguese starting tech change - reduced Portuguese inclination to build Santa Maria del Fiore - improved defenses of Buda - adjusted favourite civics of Portuguese...

Yes, it's possible that these maps don't render it.

Do you know what the issue is? Numerical disadvantage? No technological advantage?
