Thanks everyone for the replies. The game played fine on quick speed. I didn't notice a weakness in mages/priests (I went with the elves for a religious victory), but then again I am not super experienced. On the down side, the map (fractal) and assortment of AI leaders was disappointing--I...

Hi all, I'd love to give Wildmana a try, but I have one question first: does playing a game on quick game speed mess anything up? Blame my consumerist, me-me-me now-now-now instant-gratification-yes-please mentality, but I just can't take the sometimes glacial pace of FFH even on normal...

Yup, I'm not at all surprised that some cost/benefit analysis has been done on this already. Still, from this one experience of mine (a scientific survey e'er there were) the costs of me spending an hour or two hardcore beelining some settlements and then for radio were pretty high, in...

So the conclusion is that because I was the first to the modern era (and had the other two goals completed) but didn't win, that I wasn't the first to the industrial era. This, obviously, makes sense. What was confusing was that I thought that because it said "Not yet" on the victory screen I...

Wait, is communism a modern era tech? I thought it was industrial. 'Cause I'm pretty sure I got physics before he (or rather, Louis, as he was then) got communism.

OK here's the save right before I don't win; I don't have one from early enough to tell about the industrial era. On the victory screen it says "Not yet" for the third condition, and then when I end the turn it goes to "NO". I guess this implies that someone beat me to the Industrial Era? But...

I was the first to physics (I got the scientist), and I don't think Napoleon got Communism first. I'll see if I have an autosave that's far enough back to tell. Is there no way to tell from this point if it's possible for me to win?

Hi all, I could have sworn I was about to win England's historical victory, but when I discovered Radio and entered the modern era, I got nothing. I know I completed the colonies/circumnavigation, and I was fairly certain I was the first to the industrial era, and I'm positive nobody else is...
