Reticulating splines?

Reticulated. Number of llamas in Civ 5: still zero.

You are my favorite person, Gazebo. Too many awesome things for me to try tonight, but I know what I'm doing tomorrow.

So does this mean you can buy unlimited mercenary units in one turn?

 

[thunderbird_14]

Awesome to see

 

[LukaSlovenia29]

Awesome, thank you, will try out once I finish the current game.

Provided you have the gold.

Well, until your money runs out, you hit your supply limit or you run out of spaces to move them to after they're bought to make room for the next one.

You're making it tougher and tougher to go back to Civ 6. Also, were you able to remove Herobrine?

Interesting set of tags on this thread. Why Zoidberg?

Why not zoidberg? (Wife was watching futurama while I published).

Authority Venice is back.

I don't see how Authority Venice was ever viable. And I especially don't see how no cool downs on mercenary purchase makes it so.

I just want to say one big THANK YOU to everyone involved in the development of this mod. I had 200-300 hours in Civ5 when I decided to quit playing. Then I found this mod and now I am getting close to 1000 hours !!

Rush Trade
Build Market in Capital, assign merchant.
Get Imperium.

3 MoV by 80 turns standard game speed allowing 4 cities to be controlled while granting you a massive army to expand aggressively(provided you're playing on Diety so City-States start with more units)

With your doubled trade route, you make massive profit and can start your own war by spamming into the battlefield with landsketchts now.

Seems crazy enough to work. I still don't see how removing purchase cool downs brings it "back". Was that really the limiting factor?

The big nerf from 20 to 10 when killing a military unit and No Production Bonus on Opener made it unattractive, but it seems those are getting reverted but the purchase cooldowns makes it a huge advantage in getting your mercenaries out much faster rather than just having it come out one at a time per turn like everyone else.

Pretty important I suppose? I'll go ahead and update.

It might be a minor quibble, but there is no hammer overflow after investing in and building a World Wonder. Personally, this feels like it creates unnecessary min/maxing to get to exactly 75% of the required hammers to build the wonder. Any chance this could be changed?
