Great stuff, Milae, I agree with basically all of things you've listed!

Is it possible code-wise to have a certain amount of non-forest/jungle tiles "transformed" into forest/jungle tiles when the Iroqouis found a city? So that way they'd be certain to have "enough" forest/jungle tiles to work with?

Pineappledan, Enginseer, I'm not sure we're on the same page as to what Kyzyl is. I was basing my opinion on the Wikipedia entry that says "The settlement was founded in 1914 by Russian settlers". I'm not sure how that is consistent with Pineappledan's descrpition of "they are representative of...

I agree that there are some big concerns about the passive pressure and how it works/doesn't work, so hopefully that will be looked at. Honestly, I'd be ok with India getting the old Spanish UA, so its cities would always be safe religion-wise.

I was thinking about the city states that are in the game and I thought that for Kyzyl, it made little sense as to why it would be included as a city state, since to my untrained eye it seems it has never held any particular importance in history. You can read more about it here -...

Agreed.

Agreed that the India's change isn't that great because of the cities you settle in the t60-t100 period. So I'll reiterate my proposal to give India a few missionaries upon founding.

Great discussion, I love the many ideas! However, I dislike the idea of the Conquistador being a UU replacement. Leaving aside how (not) well the AI deals with a scout-line UU (see Brazil's Zeppelin armies), as a human player one of the main points of emphasis is keeping my units alive...

I agree with Golden age comments. Also, in my current game (VP + Milae's difficulty mod) India enhanced with Inquisition, yet around turn 240 none of its 7 cities, including the capital/holy city, followed its religion any more.

tothePain, I agree, it doesn't mean it's (always) the best, but for heavy religious spreaders (and if you get reformation, you usually are that), I think it's far away the best. I can imagine getting more out of a GP-heavy Tradition game with KtD, but other than that I think FotM is consistently...

Bad_at_diplomacy, when that happens, I reload to immediately before capturing the city and usually that helps.

I'm having three war-related problems with the new version (latest hotfix): 1.) The AI is extremely reluctant to make peace. I've been at war with Assyria for a veeeeeeery long time (over 50 turns), I have a positive warscore (varying from 5-10) and he still refuses to make peace with me, even...

I'll just say that in 95% of my games Faith of the masses (extra culture on amphitheaters etc.) gets taken first. I really think it needs to be nerfed or others buffed.
