The Devshermeh idea may very well be overpowered... I would think that it is very powerful when the Ottomans start, but much less over time - especially if they continue to get Jannissaries... as other civs modernize, it becomes harder for the Ottomans field a conquering army... I agree that...

I'm not quite sure I agree with the seige improvements for the Ottomans - ultimately they acquired the monster cannon that took Constantinople because the Byzantines couldn't afford it - meanwhile, the same seige weapons got stuck in the mud on the way to Vienna, resulting in the Ottoman failure...

Economic Left/Right: -7.75 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -8.53

Now why does it have to be "stupid Americans"? ;) I agree there should be other civs than Americans there, but do we have to be stupid too?

Not positive about this, Look in the editor - I think that the Forbidden Palace has some limit where it cannot be built next to water - is the city in question next to water... As I said, not positive about that - take a look at the editor???? Hopefully that helps, but I wonder why...

Hey thanks - good job with answers!! Maybe its because I was never exposed to Byzantium / Eastern Mediterranean history while I was in school (all Dark Ages - shows what we know) ;) .... but the Byzantines, Ottomans, et. al and even the Italian city-states just fascinate me - history in...

hmmm... Would have to think hard for some questions... Oh, just to concur, John Julius Norwich is probably my favorite historical author - I read his Byzantium (the short version - haven't gotten the long yet), Venice.... which to me is far closer to Byzantine heritage than Italian...

Battle of Manzikert: 1. March, 1071? 2. Emporer Romanus Diogenes, Sultan Alp Arslan 3. Left - Byrennias, right - Alyattes 4. Andronicus Ducas? spread rumors of Emperor's defeat, fled the field... 5. Kiss the ground so he could stand on his neck - silly symbolism...

Wheel of Time and Forgotten Realms... can't decide between them hmm, always was told I was indecisive, now I see why...

I agree to a point about the capturing of bombard units, but at the same time units have self destruct orders on immenent capture. Maybe they should be capturable beyond cultural border? Is there a way to do that? Or maybe 50/50 chance of capture or destruction? I agree that they should get...

I have been playing with this mod since I first found it a couple of months ago, and I have to say, without it, Civ3 is much less fun... Thank you for the excellent work!! Now if only we could add more civs... I have finally taken the time to say thanks THANKS!! Realm: I see...

Don't forget Andorra!!!!

Wulfgar?

Interesting... I haven't quite figured out the best way... I usually hold ou (if left alone) until I get my Granary built, and Bronze Working, and then ramp out settlers/spearmen combos until the Advisor suggests the Forbidden Palace... then fortify, build, etc... except for colonies later in...

didn't see this posted before, so... When building a new city, I cannot select from the production queue. The list of units in the city screen is blank! Reloading allows you to see, but then, creating another city has the same problem... I have uninstalled / reinstalled, with the correct...
