The Conquerors event is triggered when an Old World Civ (not necessarily European) meets a New World Civ in a certain area which is near the New World Civ's spawn. It is only triggered the first time this happens. The contact must occur between ten turns after the Aztec spawn (1300AD) and 1800AD. The Old World Civ will then get a variable number of Conqueror units next to the New World Civ's spawn tile depending of several factors. They will also DoW on the New World Civ if the the Old World Civ is an AI.

Thanks for the info (If you don't mind, I might put that into a wiki article...).
I'd tried for one in the mid 1100's just after Inca spawned, but to no avail. Anyway, it worked later on. It's neat having a Japanese Mexico....

Edit: Just reporting in that your fix worked Baldyr. The Mayans just respawned in 1484 thank you so much.

Anti-Roman policy(?):
Have anyone manage to play Romans beyond 1800ad?
(BtS and latest version)
I have try almost anything after 1730ad but my empire always collapse sooner then later. Whatever I do my expansion (and most of time economics) put my stability to collapse point. I have check all walk through pages and world atlas etc.
My empire has 3 cities in France, 3 Italy, 1 Balkan, 2 Greek, 3 Turkey and I have try to get 1-2 cities in Egypt and 1-3 cities in Arabia. I have try to give cities away, or conquer cities (Egypt & Arabia) or use settler to found new ones (Egypt & Arabia).
I have 2 vassals Mali and German.
(btw RFC is best game I ever have played - and I have play computer games since my childhood begin of 80s.)

I think it would be cool to actually experience the civil war thing - I never have... I think I'll mod the mod so that those become commonplace - something you have to deal with on a semi-regular basis.

 

[Zaduzai]

I forgot that I have 3 captured cities from Carthago.
(sorry for double posting - my internet connection do that sometimes... )

Yeah - it would be cool that civil wars wouldn't be end of game things. West Rome vs. East Rome would be cool to experience.

AOS9001 has attempted this and lived to tell the tale. Literally.

I think it's because you have too many cities. France really only needs one (1 tile SW of Paris). The third city in Italy doesn't ever help you much. Constantinople and Athens or Sparta should be fine for Greece, and 3 cities + Constantinople makes for a really crowded Turkey.

Civics also have a big effect on stability. Run Universal Suffrage/Free Speech/Emancipation/Free Market/Free Religion/Viceroyalty in peacetime and when you grow really big/are about to go on a rampage switch to Police State/Nationhood/State Property/Occupation. Try to build Cristo Redentor because every time you go into anarchy it's a permanent hit to your stability. Same with razing cities.

What start is best for the mongolians? Is it 600ad or 3000bc?

 

[usi]

Usually 600AD one is easier, since there would be more forests (to chop) left in China.
But 3000BC one can potentially be easier, for China is sometimes killed by barbs and you won't lose any Keshiks for the first UHV condition.

 

[Wessel V1]

And there are lots of Persian cities that can be razed. So, for a very quick UHV you may try the 3000BC start (with some reloads), but if you want to do it for the first time, I'd suggest the 600AD start.

 

[Zaanzie]

I have a question: How can you see which version of RFC you have?

 

[Wessel V1]

Both the readme and the in-game civilopedia contain the number of the actual version.

 

[Zaanzie]

thanks

Both the readme and the in-game civilopedia contain the number of the actual version.

Specifically within the Civilopedia you can see the version of RFC here:

Can someone please try and load this American save for me? I just want to make sure I haven't made changes to my game that would prevent others from loading my saves.

Much obliged.

Hi guys,
can a vassalized nation win its UHV?
I'm playing my first game of RFC (RAND), and in 1630 AD Mali, a weak nation, is 2/3 UHV and cruising to 3/3. I intended to attack it, and to my surprise he asked me to be my vassal.

 

[Baldyr]

I have a quick one: What is the end date for the RFC scenario(s)? 2050? 2020? 2100?

I clearly having a blond moment.
