awesome! thank you.

Fair enough. That's logical. It's still super annoying though. lol. But I guess it makes sense. I just wonder why I've never really had to deal with that before. I've had them DoW before, or complain about taxes. But never offer me the choice of liberate or DoW.

Warmonger penalty is the least of my concerns really. It's the fact that my vassal can unexpectedly force a war on me, likely directly on my borders, and my only other choice in the moment is to liberate them. That's extremely annoying. Especially as it's a war they can't likely win, but will...

That seems like a fair compromise to me.

For me personally I always disable tech trading because the only way I win is through conquering (which then usually leads to culture victory), so every Civ hates me and even if they are friendly I assume they are plotting against me, so I'd rather not give any other civ any potential...

I know you aren't quoting me, but initially I brought this up specifically to address when a vassal forced me to either liberate them or declare war on them, which I didn't think was a good binary choice. I conquered them and they capitulated. I shouldn't be forced with a binary choice of "Free...

Yeah, that's what I would prefer. At least have it be them who DoW if nothing else.

Well they can just declare on you outright (might be a certain amount of turns after becoming vassals, not sure). Unless you are deep into the game and go Authoritarianism and choose the relevant policy that prevents vassals declaring or being liberated. What I haven't had before is them giving...

Had a situation today that I haven't experienced before. I was Master of Austria and at a very inopportune moment she requested to be released from vassalage, and my only options were to grant it to her- ending vassalage, or declare war. No option to turn her down, or to have her declare war on...

I suppose that's a testament to just how improved the AI is in general, that even with suboptimal choices, they can be surprisingly hard to deal with. Credit to the VP team. I just haven't been able to keep up I guess (used to play Emperor/Immortal). I consistently play on Prince now. But I...

If the AI gets any better I guess I'll just have to play on Cheiftain. VP has gotten more and more difficult over the years. I find myself having to play at Prince if I want to do anything other than conquest with a militaristic civ. I suppose improvements can be made to decision-making and...

Thank you! that should do the trick...but would you mind telling me where i can find the file to mod? I took a look in the MODS folder but didn't see it.

I personally think Barb spawns are ridiculous as is. By the time you dispatch some units to kill the local camp, two more camps have spawned. I don't get what the reasoning or justification is for a settlement popping out of thin air with an extra unit. It should be how it was before, they won't...

You guys are amazing. Thank you for all your hard work. Glad to see a slight nerf to barb spawns.

First game with the new patch CTD on founding my first city with Morocco. Prince, random map. I'm gonna do a fresh install and try again.
