Yo! I just found a little bug. I didn't search the forum very carefully, so it might already have been brought up.
Military Academy is available long before Military Science is researched. Unfortunately, this helps balancing out the builder strategy in favor of the warmonger strategy, which is a bit sad, I think. Together with a fix for this bug I would suggest two minor tweaks to make the builder strategy more competitive in comparison with the, in my opinion, a bit too popular warmongering strategy (of course, choices between strategies are more interesting with competitive choices):
- Make war weariness continue to build up as long as a civ is in war. That would make it harder to warmonger continously without peace in between the wars. Currently, bringing the first war to peace eliminates war weariness although the civ is still in war.
- Increase the diplomatic penalties sligthly for starting wars so that the friends of a defending civ more likely enter the war.
I use patch 302 for BtS.
