Hope you keep track of people using advciv. After playing AdvCiv, it is difficult going back to dumbAI and less interesting playing only against very warlike AI. I like being able to create long-term alliances (though I do question why all Civs inevitablly convert to free religion as the game...

Late reply. I downloaded it and gave it a go and I quite enojyed it. It is very simply compared to a full game of civ, but still enough to play a couple of enjoyable games. It is a good choice for someone who wants to try something different without investing in buying a new game, or otherwise...

So I've downloaded the updated version of advciv and I'm reading through the changes. Some of my feedback: V1: I think it is fine to have barbarian cities with hill defensive bonuses. They are pretty tough to conquer so are likely to survive until catapults. I think this isn't a negative, I...

I tend to play on small maps with low water and one extra civ. I find the AI is often quite hostile and very willing to take advantage of low power, undefended cities, current conflicts, etc. It is usually quite brutal and I've learned that if I start in the middle of a continent in a resource...

So you have merged, but want feedback on archery before you release it? Can you elaborate on all those range-related check boxed for the mod. Confirm if I understand correctly: Ranged immunity: If activated, if my archer uses a ranged attack against another archer, the other archer won't fire...

If you plan on going over the mod I think it would be easier, at least for me, for you to give a particular segment of the mod and I can try to give feedback on that specifically. Otherwise I've given general feedback but there's far too much to give details for everything.

At least near cow/sheep/pig so the tech isn't useless as they can more quickly get animal husbandry. Though, none of those are historically accurate for aztecs either. Though, the idea that people settled down into civilizations and then learned how to hunt animals is kind of rediculous in the...

By zone of control (ZOC) I mean that enemy units can't just move past each other. I think civ4 does naval combat really badly. It is basically impossible to stop land invasions because naval units get so many movement points they can just sail accoss a channel or sea, past your navy, and deposit...

If you include it in a future update I'll happily play it : ) As said, if it means that civs with fishing start near water, civs with farming start near fresh water, civs with hunting start near animals etc then I think it is a good addition to the game. I'm just ambivalent beyond the mechanics...

So I've played several games with the DOTO mod and I gave it alot of thought but the time it would take to go over every thing is more than I want to invest in this response and I've taken a vacation inbetween so it's all a bit hazy. I'll give my general thoughts in this not very well written...

Seems like a good idea, after all it is a little bit rediculous for civilizations with the fishing tech to start in the middle of a continent or those who's special unit requires early copper or iron but starts without any metal resource anywhere near them. But other than that if I want...

I have a couple more games going on regular ole advciv then I'll start up a new one using Doto

Hi Keldath, I may download it and give it a go when you finish the next update. I'm really liking advciv but it would be interesting to try out a few new options. Have you got a change-log or description of the mod beyond the first post? Personally I'm more of an emergent systems type of person...

Depends on the situation. I've learned that I can't let my military fall behind that of my neighbours or they will take advantage. Sometimes it feels like a dog-pile (like starting next to Shaka and Stalin who both declare war on me on the same turn, or one the turn after the other) other times...

I don't play much in the modern era (I tend to end up in the equivalent of WW1 or WW2 and after several years of grinding conflict i retire and start a new game - or i just get bored from the repetetive city management) so global warming hasn't affected me much. I did have a couple games where I...
