Emperor
I personally like many aspects of the NFP game modes, others are just not my cup of tea or I think they have been too broken to use.
Furthermore I'm interested in possible synergies or obstacles when combining modes. Since I'm playing slower than the average Fanatic (so it seems at least) I'm sure you guys have more experiences with this.
So my question is: Now, after the April patch, which game modes would you consider turning always on if you had to / want to?
I've got some I have mixed feelings about and don't have enough experience with them to judge, so please help me out.
Just for info: I seldom Min/Max. I'm more of a role player guy not always going for the direct win, but nevertheless want "some" AI competitiveness. I like emperor level but can beat deity. Deity is just not just as much fun for me...
Always on :
I think the Barbarian Clans mod adds flavor and with the now patched stuff would go into my always on section. (played it before April patch and it was fine)
Secret Societies is fun and as another layer of diplomacy it's good, too. AI not able to handle voidsingers is a big bummer I overlook, because I like this mod so much. (it should be addressed though!!!)
Tech and Civics Shuffle is and will remain always on for me. No brainer
Mixed / undecided:
Dramatic Ages: I have a feeling, AI can't really handle this good enough, though I love the higher stakes of this mod when it comes to Ages. What do you think? (played it once, liked it but had an easy win)
Same with Heroes & Legends. I fear AI is too clumsy with this mod making the game easier which is nothing to aim for. But I looove the idea and would want to put it up into the always on section. (didn't use it yet)
Monopolies and Corporations seemed broken even after the March patch. Is it good enough to go up or still broken? (never played it yet)
Nope / only on special occasions:
Zombies and Apocalypse is either not fun or I'm just not interested. If I want zombies I play the last of us, thank you
