This didn't seem worthy of a full thread, so I figured I'd ask here: Is there a list of all the starting biases for CPP?

This is easily the biggest thing that could make or break Rising Tide for me. BE was such a disappointment and I really want to like it. I still play Civ5 currently because the CPP improves on the AI so much and they are a real challenge. I just want a 4X game with an AI that tries to win and...

No problem. Things get frustrating sometimes, but there's no need to be snooty about it. "Have a nearby Kasbah" is good idea if only the yields mattered (and that seems tough to implement (??) [no idea on this]). The current direction for kasbahs seems to be "have them all around a city for...

I'm going to point out something again, really slowly this time. Not really, I just wanted to highlight that you're kind of douchy. There's no need. We are just analyzing stuff. :P You're analysis is spot on, but the point of my post (badly presented) was to point out that having kasbahs be a...

Uhh, how is that any different? Using your own sentence I could say: "Again, Kashab is a risk-reward system, you can get way more Kasbah or way less depending on your luck/location, with the Maoi you can only get less." You're assuming a player is "owed" 6 kasbahs per city. I want to point out...

I think it's not a good idea to expect a UI to always work at full capacity. Yes, you lose some Kasbah spam on coastal cities, but so what? Then don't build on the coast if you want to milk Kasbahs. Build coastal cities for other reasons and be happy you have a good improvement for the land...

You work too quickly! I might start a new game with the newer settings tonight.

Ok, the AIs are tough... I got wrecked on Immortal. Just stomped. Denmark had 5 cities by turn 42 (standard speed) and 6 cities by turn 60. 17 techs to my 12. Tons of gold with me at a deficit trying to keep up militarily. When war came it was ugly. His cities all magically built walls right...

I'll try a game using the 5-15 mini-update (not sure what Gazebo changed from 5-13 to 5-15) and these changes. Speaking of which, where does everything go? I know you had a post somewhere detailing where to put each file, but I can't seem to find it. Mind putting it into the first post?

I've been wanting to eagerly test your new AI and tonight I'll have some time to do so. I have a current game on the 5-15 mini-update. Are these changes in that version or should I just use the latest ones in this thread and start a new game? I'll give you some Immortal feedback which I hope...

Playing the 5-15 version as well. Holy crap! The AIs got really good again. Playing Immortal: It went from a struggle in past versions, to a cake walk in 5-13, then to a tough slog through a lot of trouble. The AIs feel ruthless. They jump on each other and capitalize on overexpanding. I'm not...

Based on how they've described traits and new revamped diplomacy, I think traits will be directly tied to how the player and AIs are playing. I could see a player or AI going on a war rampage gaining an "Aggressive" trait that then gives them a bonus to combat (and maybe a penalty to science or...

Is anyone else finding the AIs lacking behind on higher difficulties? I normally play immortal and it used to be a struggle just to keep up. Now I top the score charts starting in classical. Scaling back their bonuses might have been too harsh.

Wow! I haven't played MoM for some time now, but coming back to this alpha and new version of Xtended is amazing. I'm quite impressed with all the new changes, especially the more filled-out religions, all the guild stuff, and the new incarnation of spell research. I'm excited to see how things...

I would also like to add that just basing these numbers off improvements isn't correct. Population give bonuses just for existing: the initial 1 science and all the yield/pop effects on buildings.
