The basic premise of the Tech transfer is already in the game we(*) just magnified it. 50% increased is not to much but still enough to be useful. Remember you only get it when researching a tech that the Civ you have open boards with already has and they get it to on the Techs you have so if you have a Tech Lead it might not be such a great Idea to have open borders. If you don't have the tech lead and you have open borders then you leave yourself venerable to your neighbors checking out just how weak your defenses really are. It's all about strategic choices..

I already noted that my defenses were insufficient in this case - however, if my forces were twice as large, then I might have fought the attackers off - but certainly not by negating my defensive advantages. Of course, I still would have had to build some Knights of my own to take the fight to the enemy, but that misses my larger point:
) the knight unit clearly represents more in medieval war than the tiny elite. Did you ever consider that the knight also represented the crusader until this new unit was introduced?
Of course we could make armies more mobile. Knights keep 3 move, all those who have 1 become 2. Allowing them to move a good distance, or in enemy lands, move to next 'province' and pillage without having to wait five years (again realism). I think this is a better idea, we dont weaken anyone, we allow infrantry to be a little more mobile. Who's with me! 
Los Tirano said:Yeah the crossbowmen do have those bonuses. i was impressed when i saw that, because they then become the knight/crusader/macemen hunters.
Standard knights could be set to two movement. But the conquistadors swiftly moved through south america, seizing cities and fighting armies. So either they keep three or have 2 but double move in forests/jungles. We could change movement, but i think its far better to have units that can get around at a decent speed. I wonder if others feel the same way?
Has it only been defensive players that have criticised the good movement for mounted units? Players that dont actually use many knights, and try and wait it out in tech until the next unit comes along?

There's a README file for the PLE (Plot List Enhancement) MOD in the Total Realism MOD folder which explains the buttons functions.Scorpion II said:
but this 2-hand button is for mercenary mod - you can contract-out your own unit as mercenary - if other civ hire it, you can get some money for contract and also small amout on every turnhs1611 said:

Great Mod! I am usually over on the TAM forum because I am addicted to the ancient warfare aspects of that mod. But when I play an ancient to modern game your mod will be the one I will play most often. I love being stabbed in the back and having to fight multi-front wars. I always keep a rapid deployment force ready to deal out some punishment to former allies and/or neutrals.Nightravn said:@Isca and Geebo - you don't have to remove the empty folder but if you have anything in there you would want to remove it as it "could" cause conflicts with the changes we have made in the Mod as they would overwrite the same file that we have. As for Blue Marble we have that implemented in the mod so no worries there mate!!
@Toys - we haven't done any pedia work but if you are volunteering we love to have ya!!
@ibcoltscrew - what you are experiencing is NOT a bug but is a aspect of the stack aid promotions. It is NOT recommended to have more than 15 units in a stack. You can have more but it gives penalties in moving and negates some of those stack aid promotions.
@Pisces - ain't it great? The AI will do some pretty Player like moves. Get ya when ya down and gang up on ya too.
Thanks to everyone else for the Nice comments
And I am a social worker. The foreign mob trembled and their bowels turned to water as Pharoah's chariots thundered down upon them! There crys of agony and despair warmed Pharoah's heart.Pisces said:Conquering a city now eliminates it's old culture it seems. You need to found a religeon in there or pop in an obelisk very quickly if you plan on keeping the city.
I however am an angry despot and prefer razing a city to the ground and founding a fresh, clean city ready to go. Well ok unless it has a useful wonder then I'll let the pit of foriegn despair exist within my borders tainting somewhat my cultural purity.
Hard to believe I'm a community outreach director by day?
You are so right! As another apostle of the religion of Tet; I have also been waiting for 2 years. But if you cannot hang, then do it yourself; a shout out to all of the people who can criticize but have not (probably cannot) done it themselves. I tried to help create an Africa Mod in the TAM universe about 3-4 years ago that collapsed mid-stream because of too much work and not enough workers. So it is not an easy take a couple of hours and bam! You have a MOD. A lot of people with pre-adolescent personalities do not know how to give and/or receive criticism without getting uptight.Pisces said:@ Manwiththehands
By all means, if you don't like a mod rip it off of your computer and move on. Since you paid nothing to try out a group of people's efforts you got exactly what you paid for. To call their effort worthless and a waste of time is not only rude but makes you sound like an ego centric idiot. I could care less what you think of the mod. If 30 seconds is too long to wait then the modern era would be a real treat for you! It's called multi-tasking. Folding laundry, getting a drink, chasing your brats around and throwing sock balls at them is what happens while you wait for the Russians to continue their crusade against the Mongals while you wait for your turn to take out the Japanese. I'd also suggest you never play multi-player.
@ the team, take all the bloody time you want. Compared to TetTurkan's 2 year + wait for his newest version and even then only a partial release, this is amazingly fast. Coding is about as exciting as mowing your back lawn with a pair of scissors. If I feel that the merc. mod is unbalanced, I won't use it. I'm still getting used to all of the changes and I absolutely refuse to use slavery after watching three of my cities go down to revolt. The game plays a lot faster now than it did and the new units, both flavour and tactical are fun to experiment with.
@Nightrvn
In the past you have helped the Japanese and the Greeks because they were far too weak but I must ask that something be done for the Romans. Simply put they are pointless. The Roman empire expanded the entire continent of Europe minus Scandinavia as well as parts of the middle east and Africa. Leaving Rome to rot if the AI plays it in every single game played seems almost a tragedy. Is there a way to increase it's agressiveness towards Greece, France and Germany to almost garauntee they try and expand? Resource placement seems to do nothing. At most, if they are very lucky Antium will end up in Monaco. Usually it's just Rome. The Rome, Athens wars were many and they just do not happen. Perhaps a gold mine nearby would give them the resources needed to expand their armies and perhaps march forward? They certainly don't need anymore fish.
