Basically it forces there to be an actual battle. Siege weapons under this system reduce the countdown or can help overcome defenses during an assault. The idea is we need to get away from the carpet of doom phenomenon because the AI cannot handle it. Moving combat to a separate map will make...

You'll have fewer battles but they should be very meaningful.

It's not that hard. Armies on the map fill one tile, with stacking limits that can be increased based on techs/presence of generals. Higher maintenance costs for standing armies and increased unhappiness for nearby cities, scaling with size of the army. These armies exert a zone of control...

AS far as AI goes, the key detail is focus: is the AI trying to "Build an Empire" or "Win the Game". This philosophy determines all underlying decisions about how the game is played, especially the diplomacy aspect. If the AI is trying to win, it should disregard all past beneficial...

Thanks, I really enjoy the base game and not looking to change much of that right now. The civs I've added work very well right now and just give me more ways to play. I've altered art in Civ 4 before and know how to do that, but cannot get the code to stick and translate into graphical...

Quick question to the team: I made a mod that added in Russia and Portugal as options, and now I thought it would be nice to make new unit/building artstyles, basically have an Iberian style for Spain/Portugal and another for Russia and at least citystyles for Netherlands down the line. I've...

Hopefully they do an overhaul on the mechanics, so that takes time. Honestly I do not like Civ 6 at all, I think every system is pretty much a downgrade from IV and V except maybe the idea of more unique CS bonuses. That is fun, although it is arguably unbalanced. The diplo music in Civ 6 is...

I still prefer a modded Civ V to Civ VI, to me that is the peak. I felt it needed better balance on the SPs and Civ features, so I made a few mods to add a third feature to each civ and then rebalance some other things (like changing Germany's ability entirely, that was serious garbage). It...

Don't hate civ for being what it is, hate it if it fails do well at being what it is. Pick a leader and Civ and start in the early days IS the game, has been for six iterations. It's not Humankind (and that game has its own flaws too). What I don't like about Civ VI is that I don't think...

And attrition: the larger the stack, the larger the attrition during movement unless you have support units that can live of the territory or supply lines. Larger stacks should move slower but have a sphere of influence up to two tiles around, if anything comes into that sphere it starts a...

Thank you, I was trying to go for the Civ VI design but throw in that blanket he always had in his pictures! I had to overstripe it or it just looked like a big ace bandage!

Due to personal reasons, I am unable to finish a mod I started a long time ago. There are a few LHs I made that I thought may be useful to the community: Poundmaker, Popay, and Tuskaloosa of the Cree, Pueblo and Mississippi respectively. My mod turned the current Native American Empire in the...

Thread here: [BTS] - Three Native Leaters | CivFanatics Forums This is part of a mod I started a while ago but I do not think I will be able to complete due to personal reasons. Here are some native LHs that I intended to use to flesh out North America: Poundmaker of the Cree Popay of the...

Help! Does anyone know a good site where you can post a 533 MB file? I want to make Rise of Empires Original available while I work on Rise of Empires Deluxe. So far its been too big for every site I've tried.

Phase one done, I’ve gone in and trouble shot bugs and improved a bit of artwork here and there, otherwise I have Rise of Empires untouched and in working condition. I just need to find out how to get it hosted somewhere. Phase two, the Deluxe Version, is started: I’m adding two traits and 10...
