RL continuing to plague me atm. Pushing the start date back one week tentatively.

I know nothing about Beyond Earth. Aside from the fact that it is pretty much Alpha Centauri 2/Civ in space. At least from what I've heard. What I want to know however is how does the game handle the aspect of tall empires vs wide empires? Civ 4 handled this via maintenence, Civ 5 via happiness...

56. When the idea of a completely Zoroastrian Russian empire in the mid 1700's seems plausible to you. 57. Ryukyu is the most underrated nation on Earth. 58. You believe that Norway and Denmark are merely under a personal union with Sweden, who is simply waiting for the right time to form...

Expressing interest. Will post stuff soonish. I have a strong preference for this forum, though I could be convinced otherwise technically speaking.

Quick update that I was unexpectedly hit by midterms and RL stuff. I will be posting a bunch hopefully sunday if all goes well. Also I approve of the story Blaze Injun. I really like the ideas you have brought up so far. excited to see where they go.

So is this a literal Civ 4 game, or a game using the Civ 4 ruleset?

Welcome to NESing! :) As far as I can tell all of your posts up until this point have been related to RFC, and this is your first NES. Glad to have you! This particular NES is still in the creation phase, and won't start for a bit under 2 weeks officially. During that time feel free to make...

@ Blaze Injun - I like this quite a bit. I'm quite interested what you plan on doing with this heroine main character, there's a lot of potential for protagonists within a nation in my opinion. Additionally, these masks are the kind of thing that you could choose to leverage in-game with the...

The general consensus is that the Karlings are a tad bit over, but the much much bigger problem is the Abbassids. They're pretty much indestructible. The Norse (Germanic) pagans are also much stronger than they should be due to the extremely low base levies, and their +levy size religion...

Happy Birthday! :)

A quick note that balancing should be taken carefully with that many European provinces dedicated to certain tribes. Modifier might be a good way to balance their power, unless you intend for the European nations to be stronger economically/militarily.

Awesome. :)

Imagine something like a "wonder" system here. Projects that you work on will drain your economy. Once in a while, you might have an idea for something so powerful, awe-inspiring, and downright unnecessary that your nation needs to focus everything into the creation of whatever you are...

Been thinking a bit about the ruleset for this. I don't want to go too far overboard with stats, and turn this into a spreadsheet nes. At the same time if it's too open it becomes difficult to follow as a player. I'm guessing that general "Economic Points" would probably work best, perhaps with...

Native tribes are almost impossible in EU. They're a lot stronger then they used to be, but they are still in a very precarious position in the grand scheme of things. Almost any European nation can steamroll any plausibly large native nation due to tech differences. Africa is typically the...
