Perhaps it could be made cheaper but limiting the number - for example only building one at a time to prevent spamming? Or since "it's basically trading hammers for an empire wide buff exactly analogous to wealth or research." - why not treat it exactly like wealth - so it's not a ritual that...

Thanks. What's SVN? I agree with all of what you said but I still can't justify building it, before I conquer anything I need to focus on getting a few witches out. As I start to conquer I need economic buildings to pay for my new conquests (I always steamroll everybody after my first victory...

Bump. Any other thoughts on how to use this?

Hi guys thanks for the great mod. Not sure if it's been fixed, but on a previous version I was still being taxed in Europe full rate even when I used the smuggler's ship. (unrelated-anyone who wants to play multiplayer please PM me!)

I've been playing exclusively deity, I generally limit myself to one city until I defeat the first invading enemy stack and start conquering theirs. Earlier game when I'm at risk of attack I can't afford to build the elegy, I need to build the gate and mage guild and the 5-6 warriors and...

Hey bud, I'm on the latest version, and play on GMT time zone. How do we set up a game?

Hey forum, I'm looking for a server where WTP is played online or for online buddies to play against, I'm loving the game but the AI is way too weak even at max difficulty. Anyone interested get in touch!

Hi guys, thanks for the continued work. Maybe not the best place to post, but where can I link with other players for a multiplayer game?

New points: As far as I can see the Rage technology is useless for Sheaim and should be removed from their tech tree. A player cannot trade religious techs if they're not in the religion, for example you can't trade mind stapling if you change out of OO, is there a good reason for this?

Good points Calevante but I think the benefits of any of those will be usually be too marginal to justify the hammer investment of POR, especially for an AI. Can you foresee an AI planning to trigger any of those benefits with POR? I'd be interested to know what the AI's considerations for...

"I think so; it is not intended for most units loaded in ships to be able to fight back when their ships are attacked, even if those ships are in a city. If I remember correctly, units with water walking can still defend. I guess that the AI should learn to unload those units so they can...

Also Prophecy of Ragnar seems to offer absolutely nothing to most civs apart from Sheam or those running Overlords. Perhaps the Prophecy mark should function the same way as the stigmata - adding strength equal to a percentage of the AC.

When invading a city or fort, units boarded onto ships in that city disappear with the ships instead of defending. One turn my enemy lost 15 units on 3 ships in my invasion. Is this intentional?

Questions: 1)The Illians can cause weather effects that cause ice to come and go. Scorch can turn ice to tundra. If I scorch temporary illian ice to tundra, will the game remember that it's just a temporary effect and take the tundra back to grassland later, or will it be stuck as tundra...

Thanks for your thoughts "heh. Based on this I just discovered the optimal solution to the Plague Armageddon event: Immediately switch to slavery. Your cities won't starve while your in anarchy, and then after you exit anarchy, since those people are going to starve anyway, why not whip them...
