I find the religion mechanics in this mod are really bad compared to vanilla. In vanilla, most people have religions because they spread. On this mod, most people are atheists due religion simply not spreading enough. I'm sure a part of why I find this is due to playing on huge maps, but it's...

I think a key problem with the gameplan that I posted playing as Ramesses was the bulbing strategy: bulbing Metal Casting, to then beeline Machinery, simply wasn't effective. I did have a game where I defeated one opponent with War Chariots, which led me getting locked into a war with Shaka...

I'd also like to ask whether religions can be lost like they can in Kmod, and whether in order for religion to spread from one city to another, do we now need to know the location of that city? I gather trade route is required for religion so spread and I believe a city needs its location...

On a strategy note, does anyone have any thoughts on whether finding an early religion on a huge map (where religions struggle to spread more so in this mod compared to vanilla) can be worthwhile, or is the opportunity cost too high to not grab things like early bronze working instead? I've been...

When building a lighthouse to gain one extra food from a single seafood tile, and not playing as Organized, if it costs two population to whip for Lighthouse, will more food/hammers overall be gained be whipping the lighthouse ASAP, or would more be gained by waiting for maximum overflow to...

What does SiP mean?

Could anyone suggest where the best city placement for this starting location is, and what opening techs to take? Playing as Ramesses

Indeed. Should I simply whip a galley out when I see a barbarian galley, when building a worker boat early game like this, or might it be better to simply let barbarian galleys pillage the improved fish? I usually avoid Fishing due to this dilemma. EDIT: To add more information, I usually...

Yeah, I may have made some mistakes in prior turns(if I did I could load a save game, was pretty tired when playing this last night), I'm not sure if building the Barracks was worthwhile at the time, I basically didn't have a Horse connected up yet(so couldn't build War Chariot), and didn't see...

Thanks for the insight everyone! I'd like to ask a follow up question unrelated to original question figured it'd be better asking here than making new post. I'm struggling to evaluate when it's better to chop out certain buildings, or better to wait until maximum overflow for two population...

I counted the differences in values when the city has grown to four: 3(f) 1(h) 1(c) (city) 5 0 2 (fish) 1 2 5 (silver) 3 0 2 (lake) 1 3 0 (grassland mine) total: 13 (f) 6 (h) 10 (c) 2(f) 1(h) 1(c) (city) 5 0 2 (fish) 1 2 5 (silver) 5 0 0 (corn) 1 3 0 (mine) total: 14 (f) (6 h) 8 (c) As...

Sorry, I meant Corn, the food source, not Wheat. Yes forested greenhill silver, I'm actually using the map "not too big or small", and AdvCiv Mod, maybe that's why.

What do you think about settling on top of the Wheat, then researching Animal Husbandry and build a Settler?

I've had success with it by fighting a war of attrition by pillaging their all improvements, since their archers have bad odds attacking Skirmishers. I find that the first few cities taken isn't usually that difficult but their last city accumulates such a high amount of Archers that it becomes...
