Thank you for sharing.

There seems to be more involved that just the two lua files. The values do make some changes, but not as expected. I found one setting which gives 10% more river tiles, so maybe that will make your games more interesting. Here are the test run results, just fyi Count of river tiles with...

Can we just text edit the lua file, or does more have to be done?

I agree, and play with a small mod. One is to allow mutliple cathedrals, the other is to allow two venetian arsenal. Why not have two of them? They are not restricted, but AI never seems to build them. Add high waters and more navy to play with. Doesn't really change the game at all, just makes...

For any changes in civ6 behavior, you need to identify exactly what you want to do, i.e., which units to capture. You talked about explorers, but civ6 does not have a unit named explorer. There are recon units which may be what you think of. For list of units, see this and be sure to expand...

Just fyi, if you like spy actions, on epic each spy has 36 missions, versus 24 on standard and 16 on fast speed. A bizarre action in epic, spies have more missions, but instead of missions taking 1 turn they take 9 turns. That wrecks the fun of spy operations.

Don't know about 5, but 4 had nice zoom AND world editor that worked well. 4 also had an info screen that showed the production of the other civs and a progress map, and and and....

Don't think I'll give marathon a spin. I'm just finishing epic game and surprised how weak the AI civs are. All I had to do is hunker down, possum, and put up a defensive line and then it was mostly over. They chased other civs and wore them out so I'm just in cleanup. It's like they forgot how...

Have not tried that. I'll give it a try. Interesting on fast speed an unexpected trait is that the number of spy missions is also reduced.

Tried second fast game and it depends on RNG location and other than the initial mad AI rush, just goes quicker. At most fast is 1/3 a difficulty level jump in ancient era, after that it's the same old stuff, just faster progression. Just FYI.

Best you can do is go to menu/options and change mini map size. You can minimize and expand mini map at will. Better report screen gives a better overview of your civ. The "city" tab is expecially useful for seeing how empire is working. I'm always checking yields/resources/city to see at a...

Good idea on holding prophet. I've done it a couple of times when I wanted a couple more RS to start with. Now I have to test which is better, using the prophet immediately or waiting a bit. I think the key will be the number of religious sites. If too few, the ai will work to convert and may...

I've tried a couple of games at fast speed, but haven't figured out how to survive the early AI attacks. Last game tried there were 6 attacking pieces, mostly warriors to my 2. No contest. No time to hunker down and rabbit hole. So what do you do, or just don't play with this option? Difficulty...

Agreed, I can play diety, but perfer immortal as don't have to think as much. Just fyi, the mod that triggers religious unit attacks is the one that allows multiple religious buildings.

Yes, some mods. No worries, just a minor puzzle.
