Again, I apologize for the lateness of my progress, or rather lack of. Unfortunately, the computer I was using to work on this mod has died on me, and is currently being serviced. There is a chance that all of my work will be lost before I get the computer back, so I'll need to start again...

The Byzantines are definitely easy to get rid of. I always thought of the Greeks or Romans in the middle ages as the same as the Byzantines. However, the Sumerians and Babylonians also seem a bit too much alike, with most of the city list of the Sumerians (including their CAPITAL) being in...

Greetings people. I'm sorry I haven't posted here in such a long time, but I haven't been able to find the time or motivation to continue this modpack (since even though PTW was a decent expansion for singleplayer, it still needed more work). Now that Conquests is out, and I have a bit...

True. But neither is terribly effective against men at arms, which are obtained cheaply by the Goths. And the Goths can get cheaper spearmen as well, since their bonus applies to everything from the barracks. I used to champion the Byzantines as well, but I continually fell prey to players...

The strength the Goths have is that their barracks units are cheaper than other civs, and can be built quicker. And with each age it gets even cheaper. Walls aren't really that important for the Goths, as they are a purely offensive civilization. I never use walls anyway, even when using...

I usually play as the Spartans, and the way I set up my social engineering depends on whether or not I get certain secret projects. For example, if I can get the Living Refinery (+2 Support), I have much less to lose when I decide to switch to Democratic. Another example is the Cloning...

150 paladins!? :eek: Usually, I like to use hordes of light cavalry and cavalry archers and engage in hit-and-run, and lure-and-kill tactics in tandem with a defensive line of halberdiers and skirmishers that they can fall back behind in case it is actually cavalry of some sort chasing them...

OK. So this is both the first time I have ever tried GOTM and the Monarch difficulty, so I won't be expecting much of my end result. For me, I got to a surprisingly slow start, considering the very early UU of the Aztecs. However, I didn't want the GA to start so early so I restricted my...

hmmm... Anti-1337. Ah well, its not like I want to be 1337 anyway.

AOE2 is definitely one of my favourite all time games. Can't possibly say the same about any console version though, as having the keyboard and mouse of the PC makes it much quicker to select units, assign them to team numbers and issue commands than a controller ever could. I actually...

A few bargains I've seen (though I haven't bought all listed here). Got System Shock II for $AU20 Got Caesar III for $AU20 Found Red Faction for $AU20 Found Age of Empires free from cereal box (full version, I kid you not. Too bad I spent $50 on it four or five years ago)

Every time I play as the Gaians, Peacekeepers or Uni, I end up allied to the other two for the whole game, with Miriam and Yang as enemies (they fight each other too), with Santiago and Morgan as sometime enemies. In these sorts of games, I might try to get a diplomatic victory (sign pacts...

Coin toss between Spanish and English. Both suit my expansionist style. English make for a good peaceful expansion game, and Spanish make for a good militaristic expansion game. Of course, I may favour these two since I have heritage from both of these countries.

Stuyvesant is my favouite founding father. Being able to sell goods without having to manually ship them back to Europe helps. Thus freeing up my transport ships for bringing in more colonists/soldiers/goods bought from Europe. Not only that, but being able to throw parties when he proposes to...

I am now working on a new version of this mod. It will be including era-specific leaderheads, and extra entries in the Diplomacy.txt file. Though I have the graphics for the foreign advisor and endgame screens, I am having trouble implementing them. I know that I need to add entries to...
