Rebuilt buildings don't immediately get the 1000 year doubling of culture points that the original buildings had?

If it makes you feel any better, Justinian did quite well in the alternate timelines, winning one of three.

I've never heard of the Mod Extra, so I can't help you with changes made there, but as for BtS I would suggest you take the following measures to gain positive diplo: -Open borders -Trade resources -Adopt religion of Civs you want to please or adopt no religion at all -Adopt favorite Civic of...

Updated first post with the results from game 7.

Louis won both of your games? That's funny, he didn't win any of the three I ran which left me convinced that I was crazy for picking him.

Thanks for the report, Kjotleik. Louis, Culture and 1840's? You would almost think I played a shadow game before making my guess, until you see the results of my games that is. Two of the three games were won by leaders nobody picked. I will get those posted later today for comparison.

Added the results to game 2 above. Again we see two new winners, although the original winner, Charlemagne, was doing quite well in the no-vassals game before Pacal's Culture victory. That validates the original result while at the same time demonstrating the luck factor.

The vassals-on game did end a lot earlier, but not in the way I would have expected it to. It seems that Zara taking vassals actually made life safer for Cyrus as there were fewer neighbors left who could start a war with him. Three games and three different winners. Hannibal and Cyrus were...

Reserved for future results.

Kjotleik's series of AI Autoplay games got me interested in testing out how consistent the results would be if they were to be run again, and what effect turning vassals on would have. In order to find out I have played them again under both of those conditions. I will present the results of...

Lets say Louis wins a Culture victory in 1840. He has a nice corner of the map and builds enough units that he may survive Justinian, Mehmed and the other nasties. Looking forward to shadowing this one.

Thanks for the feedback. I understand your point, I just don't know if we want to kick all the threads back up to the top of the forum. I will leave it up to Kjotleik, it is his baby.

I keep meaning to do that, but I've been too busy playing Civ.

Where would you like me to post my results? Separately, in each relevant game thread? Together, in the season one results thread? All of them here in this thread? Start a new thread for all of my results? I'm running game 2 right now.

Yes, that has got it. The new file works, the others do not. I looked for the 50 Civs dll but didn't find it. If you want, go ahead and post the new version of the other 5 games and I will run shadows for you. I will also run each game with vassals turned on as that more closely resembles...
