Why would we care if a mod is OP or not? A mod is not an official release by the team who developped the game, nor was it balanced by them. It is not part of the game "as packaged", if you know what I mean, and if you don't enjoy a mod, you can simply remove it and keep playing the game as is...

Except they usually use that gold to buy an army and try to overtake you when the declaration of Friendship ends.

Hiawata also usually expands so much that your own units within your own terrtory are seen as a threat by him.

I honestly wouldn't consider it broken. It's a question of commitment, and there's potential consquences to the commitment. That's how World War 1 started, even. Or the 7 years war.

So, did anything came out of this interesting thought...?

It's happened to me quite a lot on Prince. On low difficulty levels, it can happen once or twice per game depending on if someone's going for a cultural victory or not. Craziest I've had was Suleiman handing me over 4 cities by flip. It just happens automatically. The worst is, they act just...

I honestly don't care about Spain, on a personal level. It's not that they're bad, it's not even that part of their UA is a longshot, it's that I don't really care much about their playstyle. Unless I do manage to find El Dorado first...

They do not, unfortunately. But they do keep the Buffalo upgrades.

I'd honestly rather see Egypt's UA reworked a bit to make it either cultural or religious. Something like +1 Tourism for each wonders since the era they've been built would be nice.

I'd change Venice's Great Galleas for the Dutch's Sea Beggar, personally...:rolleyes:

Improving your tourism doesn't protect you from diplomats. It's improving your Culture that does. Tourism is a blade, while Culture is a shield. You could have 0 tourism, but still be immune to the tourism influence of other civs if you have extremely high culture.

In my first BNW game I had, she was my lost loyal ally, ironically enough. Maybe it just was that we both hated Alex's guts.

This is honestly why I love Impis so much. That combined with the UB of the Zulus turn impies into beastly Riflemen. Heck, I'd even say that Zulu spearmen are their own UU so much they're amazing.

As a French speaker, hearing Napeoleon speaking to me so informally makes me cringe somehow. Also, having him boast as the greatest military mind of History feels meta for me. Then again, Ramesses claims he's a God.

Have you ever played against Alexandre the Great, or... that Siamese leader I can't name? They've been powerhouses against me and a much greater competitors since BNW.
