The shipping function looks really nice. Have you seen the ai make use of it? Would it be possible to implement blockades and have it remove the function, and make some civilizations (Rome/Carthage) want to blockade the cities of their enemies?

Huzzah! That's a wonderful addition, and opens up for all kinds of interesting UHV:s as you will no longer have to rely on the luck of vassalization if you have overwhelming force. I wish my thesis could write itself so I'd have more time to play this.

I really like the new stability system! Previously, stability was an all or nothing issue. Either it had no direct effect (only forcing you to consider it while expanding/building), and if you collapsed it was game over. Now it is possible to endure several periods of instability, which greatly...

Som exciting new additions to the Romans! Rome revision 539. I choose republic. I went directly against Carthage. The new legions made conquering easy. I razed Lpqy and enslaved them. The conquest of the rest of their empire went quickly. As the last Carthaginian city fell, I got a...

I think the Abbasids are a fun and quite easy civ to start with.

Setting the scope to be between Akkadians/Egypt and ending with or at Alexander would tie in nicely with RFC Classical. A tentative list of some of the Civilizations that sprung to mind, most overlap with Civciv5 (all years BC): Akkadians (2334). UHVs: conquests, get monarchy, build temples...

I tested the bribing as Byzantines. It is a very nice feature and feels historical. I think the chance of them killing your emissary is slightly to high, a spy is costly to build, and the high chance of failure means you still have to build normal garrisons, which protects for free. At the...

Something that helped med with the Parthians was to use Zoroastrian temples to get a great artist, which can be used to bulb the tech you need for the Heroic Epic. Thereby you can allocate more funds to mercenaries/expansion rather than research.

Happened for me as well now. Quick-fix: Right-click, but instead of doing regular SVN update, you can select Tortoise SVN -> Update to revision -> 459. It then downgrades from 460 to 459, which I tested and works for Nubia.

I have a suggestion for the Empire civic: what if it allowed the construction of a building that would increase food production in the capital, but would cost food for the city it was built in. That would symbolize the grain transport from the provinces to e.g. Rome, Constantinople or other...

I think that's a good idea.

Speaking of Dacians, I realized that I never succeeded with them when I tried a few months ago. Tigranes (or anyone else?), have you had any success with them?

I decided to revisit the Celts, since it was quite a long time ago. They are just as fun as I remember them, you have necessitated a unique guerilla style warfare for them, since you struggle in a straightforward fight against the legions :) At the start, I sent my settler south to Spain...

Welcome to Civfanatics! I'm on a very slow Internet connection, so I can't search through the thread for the post, but I remember asking the same question. The area that I had missed to conquer was Armenia, perhaps that is the case for you as well? I agree with your opinion of the mod :)
