Unfortunately, I think the only way to do what you'd like is to make peace, wait 10 turns, then ask for joint war. I declare most of my wars jointly so that I can at least keep one friend, so it's a little annoying if an AI declares war on me first. I've never had a defensive pact before, not...

There seems to be a certain number of total GP per game. If the number runs out before a specific GP appears, that GP will never appear. If it says no more of this type to recruit, then it is already too late.

There is currently a bug every time you get a city that you can liberate through a peace deal. Basically, when that happens, you by definition have to decide whether or not to liberate after the peace deal. This sequence of events runs into the bug that Victoria is referring to, so that...

You both have to be not at war with the other faction, sometimes your friend beats you to it. You have to both be able to declare war on the civ. For instance, if they just made peace with the other civ or haven't met them yet, it doesn't work. Shouldn't be a problem for your case though...

Only skimmed through the SC2 posts, but here are my two cents. 1. The AI in Starcraft II is ok at spending resources and producing units (macro), which is where it gets its advantage. Beginner players often have idle buildings and floating minerals because they forget to make more units...

It stops you from passing the turn until you select a new tech/civic though, so it works if the goal is to have a reminder about changing policies.

Yeah, this is the most serious issue now, imo. I'm in a game now where I declared war on Russia, but have not destroyed a single unit or seiged a city. Yet he's willing to give me all his cities, money, and great works for peace. I guess it's because my military score is much higher, but he's...

I think it's a remix of an old bug. If you decide to keep/liberate/raze a city after a peace deal, it keeps the occupied status. Now that they've added an option for liberating when you get a city in a deal, it necessarily happens whenever you get a city that can be liberated in a peace deal...

It's at about 36:45 on this vid https://www.twitch.tv/videos/162156030 There's some dead time at the start of the vid, so that's probably where the discrepancy comes from.

Random possible economic / religious bonuses that I'm thinking up right now (some overlap with beliefs, none based on anything specific about the wonder, all probably unlikely): Purchase religious units with gold Increasing passive religious pressure Increased religious pressure to cities you...

Yeah, horsemen are the actual backbone in the early game. The horse archers are a convenient way to catch isolated units and to activate the +5 vs wounded, but they only have the combat strength of a regular archer. Horsemen have a much higher combat strength and are also doubled when...

What I took away from your post is that you have no idea what you're talking about and no idea how to present an argument except with insults. Same things I took away from this post. Oh, except that you can't spell also. Please return to the topic of the thread instead of each other. leif

First of all, the vast majority of players are not the ones on the forums looking for mods that make the AI more difficult. So I don't know how you would even begin to substantiate that claim. Secondly, if you had read a bit further down, you would see that: And if you didn't know that, it's...

Combat strength is based on the highest combat strength in the civ minus 10. Having the best unit in your civ as a garrison can thus increase your combat strength by 10 to match your garrisoned unit. Yes, garrisoned units can attack, so there is a trade-off between a ranged garrison which can...

I recommend quick movement for this reason.
