Qs about difficulties and mods

[Ninakoru]

Hi there,

I have two little questions:

- The AI handicaps (free units, techs, bonuses to happiness, production, etc) remain the same as they were on G&K? I didn't look into that, but I have that impression. If there's any table updated anywhere I would gladly look at it.

- If I play through a mod, I can still win some achivements?

Thanks!

Naw, they're somewhat different in BNW. Take a look at the Civ5HandicapInfos.xml ... the one in the Expansion2 folder of DLC.

As far as I know you can't win achievements with mods but I might be wrong.

If someone could paste the xml, would be great. I know about that file but I'm not at home.

Great, I've seen the files, they also get unit XP for free as well as a discount for new levels, and an additional tech starting with emperor (archery gets into the mix), get a slightly better growth for cities, but less buff to happiness.
