Did you play the original colonization? TAC (The Authentic Colonization) recreates that experience in Civ4Col. It's an immense improvement to the base game (which was honestly quite disappointing) and a worthy successor of the original Col! It improves balance, pacing, AI, and resources, to name...

I am trying to figure out how to increase the spawn rate of native settlements - more of them, and closer to each other - because I feel that increased density leads to more strength and more conflict and could lead to more interesting gameplay. Given that this occurs before the game starts, I...

Recently played some TAC, here are my thoughts: 1. Cheese strat: Beat them to the privateer rush (caravel -> privateer x2 or galleon -> privateer x2) and annihilate them first. This is a very strong strategy; after you destroy their last ship, call it a victory and move on to the next game. 2...

Interesting idea... if this moves forward, I wonder if terrain movement cost might be adjusted? To some extent, the debilitating 3 MP for Jungle is offset by the fact that you can move at least 1 tile per turn. So to have similar balance as we currently have (or some other desired balance): 1...

Time and time again I return to these forums... there is simply no game like Civ4Col that I know of, and I don't know what I would do without your mod!

Wow... I played for years and if I knew this once, I have long since forgotten! :old: Edit: Might it be a good idea to put this info somewhere in the Mod Overview? Since that's where most people go to find the release I think.

Great stories here, thanks for sharing.

:love: OMG this actually happened :cry: :bowdown:

Wow!!! Amazing! Beautiful! :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Interesting... if slightly counter-intuitive to me. I feel that having one ship unable to carry units is a bit odd; for ship diversity, why not add more types of ships, or make galleon more expensive? In my experience, I loved using caravels and carracks for small, short automatic trades...

Quick question - what does the fourth option in the "Ice Age" event do?

With the current way Holy Cities work, it feels like the optimal move is to always found in the Capital. This makes it frustrating when it's difficult to control where the Great Prophet actually spawns. So it seems like the solution would be to make the Great Prophet spawn in the Capital... And...

Adding Cannons to the types of Goods and giving colonists the option of Cannoneer and Artillerist Professions would be amazing! Someone mentioned adding Crews to ships, which could be an interesting system. But then we start looking at other Vehicles like Wagons and Caravans... are we going to...

On the topic of wonders, I just completed Borobudur and I received two Missionaries with 2 charges of Spread Religion a piece. If I'm not mistaken, I'm supposed to receive Missionaries with 3 charges?

Welp, Recursive is right (of course). Nuclear Missiles have the "Shielded Silo" promotion which gives `NukeImmune`. My bad, the last time I was on a real civ grind was back in 2018, when the last I heard on the discussion was this. I don't think it was always this way? But my memory is hazy...
