Hi. I ve been realy enjoying this mod trying to complete all UHVs at Emperor or monarch level.
Most UHVs are fun and fit nicely with the countrys history/theme/background. Some others could use some tweeking imo. So I ll start with England, completed at around 1850, emeperor level, normal speed.
England, emperor.
1- Enter indu+modern area. nothing too hard or too exciting.
2- Found/Conquer 4 cities in all continents.
So having to take and hold or found 20 additional cities by 1730 looks like fun but it realy isnt working so well with the mechanics of the game which limits your tech rate by the number of cities.
Only way to do it: Build 20 settlers, put them in position on continents. Mass found cities at 1730 and release them all to other civs to get back your tech rate.
Simply requiring to Conquer (not founding) 2 cities NA, SA, Africa and Asia would encourage warfare and be a fun challenge while not totally crippling your tech/economy. Add build 2 cities in Australia to complete it maybe.
3- Build 25 frigates, ship of the line 1800.
Sounded like fun at first, but the real challenge is the 1730 goal. So priority goes to 4 cities per continent gamewise. So after 1730 all cities go in massproduciton mode of ships. Nothing fun with that.
Change it to sink 100 ships. This means England has to go ship hunting from the start of the game and go for Naval superiority all game which means privateers peace time and frigates/triremes/ships of the line etc wartime.
