They start interacting with you late-game if you're friendly with their colonies, and when you declare independence they become even more important and interactive as potential allies. For that, they've gotta exist as diplomatic entities in the game.

Huh. Thank you for the help. I didn't even know this game had a pause function - and can't for the life of me tell why a turn based strategy game would need one.

Can I get that sort of help/examination in the Bugs thread?

I'm not sure why, but in this save, I've become unable to do anything at all, whether it be settling a city, moving a unit, or ending the turn.

Would it be possible to code things such that desert tiles adjacent to rivers (or freshwater lakes?) could be 'irrigated' and made into Savannahs, or no? If possible, is that something the R&R team is favorable to the idea of?

Oh boy, now I'm imagining if Scotland were added, on the logic that the act of union only happened because Scotland bankrupted itself failing to colonize Panama. (and, if you're counting that time, when they were under a personal union, you'd also be counting Nova Scotia, when they were under a...

I think their current policy is that the mod is not meant for multiplayer usage, since they lack the resources to code and test it for good MP performance.

I wouldn't know, since I play without animals (they add nothing that isn't frustrating, in my opinion) to reduce the memory and processor load. Doubtless I wouldn't have been able to fight a revolutionary war, even with the royal expeditionary force staying static from the start after I selected...

You've gotta love those joyous times when your focus on heavy naval construction allows you to end your revolutionary war without the expeditionary force making landfall even once.

Can confirm that it's with my save, apparently the DLL needs to be recompiled so the flags are the same as when the save was made. Unfortunately this forum won't let me attach files, so I can't provide my save.

Compatible with saves from the last one? 'Cause I don't want to lose my New Sweden.

How do I find my turn number? I'm at November of 1674 on Marathon length, but and the only thing I can find regarding how long I've been playing. (aside from '12 hours noncontinuously' on this game) I'm interested in running the math manually.

Well, it's 1675 for me, and my capital is basically fully upgraded. I want to have some sense of at which point glorious Nya Sverige's population eclipses the frigid motherland's.

How many people would you say a size 55 city actually has? 5500 seems bafflingly low to me, and it's kinda crushing my suspension of disbelief more than the fact that I cheated to settle New Sweden on the west coast of the US. Similarly, if the game's demographics screen (one of the tabs tied...

Well, I've done that, but still can't upload anything.
