Yes, my privateers never encountered this during several games.

Yes, close to BtS deity when it comes to fight for early space. 4 out of 5 buy extra settler and also smart distribution of rest of points. For sure, 6 AI enough on standard map size. 581 points actually come from deity’s points according to the table in manual. 581+150 for initial settler =...

I think you are talking about something else. The thresholds are about when they are willing to sell stuff that are fairly fresh on the market. The decay is not a problem, quite the opposite. I am talking about the situation when you like to trade a tech to several AI (or at least two) and...

I sometimes reload if the WFYABTA limit mess up a massive tech trading turn. Don’t spend time writing down number of previous trades. I mean, BUG should have kept this count, so I dont feel too bad about it.

Thanks for the write ups, folks. And thanks for this mod, f1rpo. I might chip in if there is another game coming up with normal speed and size and an unpredictable map. I usually play the points handicap to AI as it is sensible to have the AI starting with their 2 techs and then they can buy...

7 forests in BFC screaming to be chopped. With marble, failgold could power research. Would go BW/worker now. In the meantime, scouting will probably reveal if iso mode are in the cards.

About range; The results I got (link in post below by @drewisfat ) had a standard deviation of 11 turns. It means that with a mean of 74 turns, the range will be 63-85 turns with a 68% probability. This assumes a normaldistribution. I might one day add more data to increase samples, but doubt...

How about bribing her out of theocracy? Offering a cheap tech can do other interesting things too..

Settling on the elephants for instant +1 happy is not something to care about. How much happiness do we need initially? We are charismatic (+1). Soon there’s a monument (placeholder at least), another +1. In the meantime ivory is improved (nice riverside tile) So +3 happiness before serious...

I guess you haven’t declared war yet. Be aware of teleportation when you do.

Interesting analysis. But should we trust the winning probability? Gut feeling says that when an injured attacker attack there is something skewed. Also there is a serial correlation.

Thanks for yet another write up, Krikav. They are so well written. But what the heck are you doing this time, no war yet? By turn 88 I was expecting a swarm of Prets on the map.

Another thing is that their foodbin is well filled turn zero. Think extra hammers too as they can get a workboat in one turn. Will just mention that there is an interesting mod called Advanced Civ by @f1rpo . Among other things there’s an option to give AI points to spend on whatever they like...

Right according to the reference guide by Anion (pdf booklet in download section). -1 attitude from Noble and beyond.

Yes, that’s it. Accidentally turned it on. Never done that before and didn’t notice that button, lol. Also thanks to @lymond and @Lennier
