The only way I'd like to see the RNG eliminated is if instead you got to play the combat in RTS mode. Of course many civ fans wouldn't like that, so I won't ever get to see my favorite game and my favorite type of game combined.

There is an Asia scenario in Age of Discovery II, it is called "Columbus's Dream," it still has the regular natives though.

A pirate payed by a nation is a privateer, though a privateer is not necessarily a pirate. In this game, a privateer always functions as a pirate given legitimacy by a letter-of-marque.

I like to try to go for naval victory, but that usually isn't possible, so I retool to fight a proper guerrilla war with some cannon support.

No, the game defaults to the way the game was before Independence, and I chose the other one for the Constitution. I tried to play on, but the King still kept asking for tribute and raising my taxes. I stopped playing after the second time he asked for tribute.

I suppose this is possible, and historically accurate because Henry Morgan often went onto land to find spoils. Except for the specific stuff about making it only out of a petty criminal, I'm not sure if that is possible.

That is the problem I can see with that one, you could wind up with units being able to equip with a mere 13 guns with Washington, and that can be a problem in that you wind up being able to arm a hundred soldiers with a mere 1300 guns, which means that it would take 4 cities with warehouse...

That is the oddest game I have ever heard.

Yes, that is a problem that needs to be addressed.

I should have noted that I was talking about silver being the most instable.

Western Euro is in a greater crisis than us. The Royal Bank of Scotland group failed, and they have been around since 1695, before there even was a United Kingdom. Much of the bailout bill they just passed is actually going to foreign banks.

That is very realistic, if you follow the commodity market as I do, you'd know silver is much less stable than gold, and can sometimes sometimes fluctuate 20% in a single day of trading.

Go back to using the good old Constitution of the United States of America. Since there isn't enough physical money in the world (there is only 800 billion dollars) I'd say that we weren't going to borrow any more money, but we aren't paying back our debts, except to US citizens who hold...

I don't have any screenshots, but I often plan out 300 moments on purpose. I usually use sieges. I'll be besieging a city with superior numbers, I wait for them to sally forth, and then I send them running. Also, I regularly defeat armies 5-10x my strength when I am the besieged. Last time I...

Gold=money. Why do you need to trade money for money? It is much more simple to just mint it into your own coins. Edit: As for silver, I have similar problems, but no so drastic as you.
