Choose Religion option was checked, as well as Advanced Start (660 gold).
If I remember well, Hinduism was founded on the first turn and Christianity followed shortly after.

Also, is it a coincidence that Isabella chose Christianity for religion or do AIs have favorite religions when Choose Religion is checked?

It is no coincidence. Check the first page of this thread. There is a link there to the list of favorite religions.

AI built a fort on top of rice!

"When I started, all I had was a rice field! Other kings said I was daft to build a fortress on a rice field, but I built it all the same, just to show 'em! It sank into the rice field, so... I built a second one. That sank into the rice field. I built a third one. It burned down, fell over, and THEN it sank into the rice field. But the fourth one stayed up! And that's what you're going to get, lad — the strongest fort on these islands!"

Thanks for the link.

That's a nice added touch

I completely forgot about forts . I'll call it conditioning from playing hundreds of game when they were useless. Next game, may have to experiment more with them...this ones completely over in 1400AD, just really carrying on to see how corporations work.

In Warlords (don't know about BTS), Wang Kon favors Caste System. He still uses Emancipation after it's available. Seems pointless to give Lincoln Emancipation FC (though it's real), because everyone changes to it after it's possible. In my latest games with Warlords, I've noticed that Bureaucracy is like Emancipation. Everyone uses it, even if they favor Vassalage, Nationhood or Free Speech. I hope this is fixed with leaders now prefering different victories.

Not at all. It also means that Lincoln will be more favorably-disposed to civs running Emancipation -- just means that in the end game, Lincoln will have a relationship bonus with a lot of civs if they all run Emancipation -- perhaps making him a little less likely to war? It will have an impact on Lincoln's diplomacy, regardless.

I was just trying Final Frontier - it is so cool! As they said, like a totally new Civ game. I like the concept of terrain (radiation cloud) that decreases unit health for every turn they are present. It really is amazing what you can do with Civ and a bit of modding...

 

[Watiggi]

Colonies are cool! I set one up: I just whacked 2 cities on another island and then gave them independance! Then I gave him more cities and built up his island stretched empire. Really cool. Imperialistic's settler bonus would come in real handy with that: settler spam local islands and then turn then into colonies!

That's going to be my next game.

yeah! got the demo as well and love it. quite different and yet they managed to port a few concepts from the epic game. definately a mod that I will be playing a few times.

anyone know the options for this one? I mean, can you modify how many ressources there are, how many star systems, average planet number and so on ...?

one thing i didn't get from the demo was: it said that only the 4 planets closest to the sun can be used. this was however not true as towards the end of said demo game my capitol expanded again and encompassed all planets in the system (6 I think). so ... is there maybe a restriction to building stuff there or was I just wrong in what I read.

this expansion is gonna be great.

 

[snipperrabbit!!]

Planets must be in the Influence area I think.

Lars Domus was kind enough to post pedia shots of Willem van Oranje, Abraham Lincoln, Charles de Gaulle and Boudica. Also we have Pericles' pedia from Xfactor99. That's 5 of 15. Can someone please post pedia shots of the other 10 new leaders? (Please not via imageshack!)

Thanks very much

 

[Fraulzar]

Seems like I recall reading forts now provide the resource on which they are built, in which case this is a nice example of improved AI! If you have a resource outside of your fat crosses, forts will be the way to go from now on.

If you really don't want to lose oil or aluminum or a similarly crucial resource, build a fort and stock it with aircraft! Clever way to make them useful!

Nah, the traits are known and you can probably find all relevant info on wiki.
I would rather see screenshots from the scenarios.
Leaders or tech trees from Crossroads or Final Frontier (I know there's a Demo but it is over 700Mb an I have a 56k modem. )

 

[Mesousa]

The Crossroads Tech Tree seems to be fairly identical to the normal one, just some stuff missing near the end.

Final Frontier Tech Tree:

Here's some pics. I have added the only leader missing from the leader's in the index provided by frob2900 (Watiggi, you need to update yours ) and also some self explanatory Final Frontier screenshots. Just enough to give you a taster . Also included is the BTS Classical Opening Menu, which can be selected along with the Civ4 Vanilla and Warlods menus in the Preferences.

Thank you very much for posting anyways! I appreciate it I also missed frob2900's latest links on post #235 (Pssst, yours are better being together )

Thank you Jamesds for the FF pics too!

Portuguese one was missing, I wanted see flag, its cool, so Portugal is Dark Green?

Off Topic: I wonder if language of units is Portuguese of Portugal (I just hope so....)
