I particularly like the idea of parent civ control and time period control.

The Chinese minor civ had been bothering my vassals, the Romans, for quite some time. When they finally organized and became a full fledged civ, they DoW on me and my vassals. However, when the "first meeting" dialogue came up with Mao that turn, I was unable to see any kind of trade options...

More an annoyance than a bug: If you allow the AI to take over instead of revolting, the espionage sliders are assigned to various values up to 99. It is extremely annoying to have to click "-" 99 times to get the espionage slider to zero for a particular player. At the end of the AI round...

A couple of questions regarding the AI behavior with revolution. 1. Is it possible to increase the "value" of happiness and health to the AI? I have found an effective strategy can be to simply knock out happiness and health resources and use spies to foment unhappiness, eventually leading to...

Ah they may disappear the next turn. I was just quitting that turn, which is quite difficult anyway, so I didn't want to continue on for "just one more turn". I will let you know if they don't disappear.

Recently in a game where the Celts were my vassal, the Germans rose up in rebellion and took a couple of their cities. I sent in my own troops, retook the cities and returned them to the Celts. After I took the last German city, they did not drop off the scoreboard. I entered diplomacy and...

I wouldn't worry a whole lot about the power rating. I almost always have a lower power rating than the top 3 civs (playing with 10-20 civs). I don't know how Civ calculates the power rating but it is not that relevant. I think the calculation puts too much emphasis on the number of units or...

Chariots are better than archers to take out barbs. Chariots can even defeat Axemen quite easily and are able to go on the offensive against the barbs, plus they have two movement points. With archers you are stuck holed up in your cities while the barbs pillage your land. If I can get...

1. No his vassals cannot war amongst each other. 2. No his vassals cannot declare war on you. Vassals cannot declare war or make peace so don't worry about keeping them happy. If the vassals are capitulated, it is unlikely they will break free. There are certain conditions that must be met...

Yes but unhappy people don't work the fields and still eat the food --> starvation

Like the above post said, if they AIs are attacking each other they aren't attacking you. Do everything possible to create AI wars. This way they are spending valuable hammers building armies to fight each other instead of buildings that could enhance their economy. Just be careful of the...

I'm pretty sure this is currently how the mod works. I frequently see the AI have revolutions that appear to be religion based. I make an effort to make all of my cities into my state religion and keep others out. I also send missionaries to AI cities that are likely to revolt (far from...

When you do the mouse-over view of the Revolution status window inside the city screen, if you hit enter to exit while the status window is active, then it remains on the screen after you've left the city screen. Kind of confusing explanation. Let me know if you don't know what I mean. Also...

Pretty small bug but I've noticed that it says "tension in the ___ cities of ____ have eased" even when there is only one city.

All I am asking for is an option in the INI file. "DoW on multiple civs" or something that can be set to true or false. It doesn't need to be the default. I would just find it useful since I am buffing the barb civs up A LOT as in my experience they don't tend to do much, if any conquering...
