Hey Thal, I'm getting a game crash when trying to install 8.6.12. I've removed all other mods and have cleared out both the cache and moduserdata folders but still crashing on install. Looking through the log files there were 2 that included references to errors... Database [694.547]...

To play devils advocate...a player can then purposefully not upgrade units to induce an AI DoW and immediately upgrade units to swing the balance. If a longer upgrade time was introduced this would become a much riskier proposal and could end up helping the AI...of course the AI would probably...

Looks like Aristocracy is currently providing 15% to wonder builds while the policy tree only says 10%. Not sure which number you're going for. I also noticed that the +3 happiness from Aristocracy also applies to the Palace, not sure if you've considered this while looking at +2 vs +3...

The discussion above where several posters mentioned they saw no reason to upgrade units when at peace got me to thinking about how to make upgrading a unit to be desireable. One idea I came up with would be to have any unit upgraded with gold reduced to 1hp. This would then require time to...

Played a Colossus start (England, Marathon, YNAEMP, 8.3)...running a mid 20s GPT early on is just sick! I even went on to hard build the GL for an added bonus and had roughly 3k gold when it finished...no lux and only 2 horses to trade. One observation on Colossus...it's the only early GW that...

I think the GL nerf was a bit too hard. With the loss of the free tech what maybe it needs a scientist specialist slot or could give the per specialist science bonus tradition used to have for that city only? Overall I like the change as it seems to really open up other openings as being more...

In my first post patch start with 0.8 I was struck with the speed policies are coming in now. Playing England on YNAEMP (which at standard recourse setting seems fairly resource poor) at marathon speed went with a build order of monument > worker > water mill > GL (rushed) > NC and found I...

Looks very interesting and could put honor on equal footing with Tradition/Liberty early on. I especially like how honor would have it's own culture generation that promotes warmongering. I also love the idea of special promotions...and could even see adding more special promotions deep in...

Love your mod Thal...it along with LEM has renewed my interest in CiV. One thing that I think isn't represented very well with the current national wonders setup that i'd love to see is colonial empires. Would it be possible to allow newly founded cities to be created as a puppet? I think...
