It does seem a bit much to me, but it is a nice way to get happies from a bonus resource instead of getting extra happies from what is already a luxury. Breweries are worth the hammers. Requiring specific buildings for things that are already luxuries seems like too great an investment of...

So why require a "building" for wine/silk/whatever else falls under your umbrella when they already require a plantation to be built on the tile. That's enough turns of work, I think. As far as iron, etc, being used up, I think the vanilla rules cover that rather nicely for the most part...

If you find you can't trade a luxury with your neighbors, it's because they've already got one. ("I told them we already got one.") As far as the stuff not being tradable, if you already have one outgoing luxury due to an existing deal, that will lower the amount available for trade by one...

Or edit your GraphicsSettingsDX9 or Graphics SettingsDX11 (whichever you use) like this: Whether or not to use static screenshots of leaders (this is the default for min-spec machines) UseScreenShots = 1 The files are in User/Documents/MyGames. This change also allows you to use mods...

The specific advantage of the hexagonal over the square tessalation is the fact that one regular polygon is closer to circular. Hexagons are the best we can do to tessalate a plane with regular polygons, and it's high time civ got into what board games have been doing for decades. Movement and...

The Dubya quote is doubly a jab (see what I did thar?) because it used to be Dan Quayle saying, "The future will be better tomorrow." They picked someone equally simple in speech style to follow him. It is an American company and an American game. I find it hilarious.

"...an anonymous contributor to the Quarterly Review, a British political-literary journal, in a review of Davy's book, objected to aluminum and proposed the name aluminium, "for so we shall take the liberty of writing the word, in preference to aluminum, which has a less classical sound."...

2 China science victories on custom earth maps (one on Rhye's converted, one on Shigg's) at King and Emperor levels. I had middle to large-sized empires (I'm China after all), but all cities were large population relative to the rest of the world. The cities are typically 4 hexes apart and in...

God forbid you actually have to micromanage in a game that is famous for micromanagement! What are you doing wrong to need 15 units to capture a city in the first place? 3-6 is plenty with the new combat rules. Sure, you might have to pull back and heal up, but the city heals up more slowly...

Lawlz. Totally a Great Spy, though I'm glad to be rid of that nonsense since playing almost exclusively Rhye's toward the end of my Civ 4 time. Of course, I got so fed up with India, Japan, and Khmer that I'd trade for Ivory from India and build about 15 war elephants and some melee units to...

Aluminum is spelled just that way. You people introduced the long U where there shouldn't be one. On the other hand, herb does have an "h" in it.

I realize my first post was inflammatory, but I really was just thinking out loud. In practice, I prefer each civ to have a UU and a UB, and not two UU's. Just a mechanics preference on my part. Sure, longbows were great. I just think they should be a unique art and text replacement for...

So if anyone finds the code that determines the English Longbows getting that free range upgrade before I do, I'd thank you to let me know and stuff. :) I'm pretty new at modding, and I thought a project that changes a couple simple things might be best for a first go at it.
