Anti-new-world manifesto

[Zdarg]

We all agree the mod is great, but I belive it might be even better.
Now, in comparison with old RfC, we have at least three more civ with very solid reasons to beeline to Optics and to discover new world ASAP: Germany, Russia and Turkey. Earlier, such strategy was harmful to their UHVs, but now it's grandly helpful. I fear it might make playing a bit monotonous (if you don't want to play suboptimally).
Evident solution is to change UHVs.
For Germany, it's enough to require all six civ conquered to be from Old World.
For Russia, earlier I suggested "to build a transcontinental railroad", but now I see I would be too easy on most maps. Better suggestion is "to build a coastal city at least 20 squares from your capital and connect it with your capital through railroad". I really like this. It might be impossible to fulfill on some maps, but some other UHVs might be impossible also.
For Turkey, it might be "four landmasses closest to your capital".

Another thought is to include 1-2 another triggered events which might be as helpful as conquestador one but require entirely different tech development. Any ideas?

well, it is evident that either map generation or UHVs need to be tweaked a lot. I of course would aim at the second, as you are saying. This doesn't concern only 3 civs though but pretty much any civ, and requires much play testing, which we are doing. Of course as of now we can only report our findings, I'm sure when Rhye will be back to operations will find a solution to the current problems.
