Does Iroquois religion passive pressure benefits from The Great Warpath? It looks like it does, making it very powerful in the early-mid game. Just wanted to confirm.

What is considered "open terrain" and "rough terrain"?

What is considered "open terrain" and "rough terrain"?

• Open Terrain: This represents flat, level terrain and includes all terrain without a hill, forest, or jungle. As such, marshes are considered open terrain.
• Rough Terrain: This represents land with objects obstructing free movement; it includes all terrain that does include a hill, forest, or jungle. Note that marshes are not rough terrain.

Terrain (Civ5)

Back to Civilization V Back to Game concepts Go to the list of improvements Terrain is a term that describes the land in Civilization V and its features. The land is broken up into hexagonal tiles, which represents distinct areas of the terrain. Units appear on the terrain and are affected by it...

For VP, rough is defined as "tiles that block vision", so hills, forest, jungle, mountain, and some natural wonders.

 

[gabrielsfarias]

Ok, got it. So Formation counts the terrain my unit is on, not where I'm attacking?

Are the new city modifiers to science and culture in VP the same as in the base game?

Snowball problem on a different continent

I spent over 8 hours on my last game, and all that was for nothing because 2 ai's spawned on another continent, while we sat with us 5 on ours, and 1 of the 2 ai's was a huge warmonger (Askia) and easily conquered the entire island while there was nothing I could do. The earliest I could do was get to navigation and invade him, but he already had over 5 frigates next to my remote city before I even had fertilizer :/

What should I do?

 

[Slyceth]

Go to the ingame menu > Save Game > Save Map. Then select that map again in Advanced Settings for the new game. Units and starting position won't be saved, but the map will be.

You can turn on autoproduction in cities (gear icon). L. Vern has a Squads modmod for moving groups of units.

Autoproduction seems bugged, it keeps building Public Works even though it's a tiny city with barely other buildings, and the public works takes 18+ turns and everything else is way less.

Endgame aggression should also ramp up the closer the winning player gets to winning. So more war-blackmail with higher and higher costs until the winning player has diminishing returns and has to accept the war.

It's basically building what the AI would build (if they were in your seat).

Formation's Terrain Bonus only works on defense.

What mapscript did you use? Communitu mapscript seems to do a decent job of placing civilizations in a fair manner.
Normally if it places 2 AI on one landmass and 5 on another means that one landmass is much smaller than the other. Also being isolated until the age of discovery could be somewhat disadvantageous due to the absence of international trade and warfare (no units' experience and great generals).

I saw AI Korean cannons move after firing; more than once. How can that happen? No mods loaded but IGE, RED and some JFD's civs; I'm playing as Victoria JFD's English mod.
Someone had experienced something like that?

It's the promotion they have. Called Logistics iirc. Those two curved arrows. Allows to strike twice, or strike and move.

When I set maximum number of city states roughly half of them spawned in the poles. There's a lot of land available in the middle of the map which makes it more interesting if those city states spawned there. Anybody knows how to reduce the number of city states spawned in the poles? Map setting is huge map btw

Generally speaking CS tend to spawned in less interesting areas, as to avoid hampering player development, and reduce likelihood of being captured due to being, in fact, interesting to be taken.

 

[neo_arcadia]

Yea, I know. It's just that personally I kinda prefer them to not always occupy the poles. Some amount is okay but most of the times many of them are always there. Even if you increases the number of resources or land tiles or even reducing the number of civs, significant number of city states always occupy the poles rather than taking other part of the map rich in resources and also quite far from other potential civilization development region

 

[Slyceth]

Does anybody know a mod that makes hills more visible? Especially when there's forest or something built on it I can't tell what I can or can't shoot over.

Is there also a mod that show all the units that will be able to attack me and whether it's safe to move by holding right click over a certain spot while having a unit selected? When I'm moving fifty units in one turn, and sometimes rewinding and redo-ing several turns, I keep making simple mistakes that require me to either quick save after every move or accept units dying and losing the 15+ hours invested into a game.

Oh and is there a move-rewind mod? So I don't have to start a turn over again.

They run out of places to spawn. You'll have to increase the map size.

I play at huge map and even increasing the land percentage. There's still like six city states spawned in the southern map and another bunch in the northern map out of 41 city states (max number of city states like I said), spawned next to the land besides ice or besides two ocean tile inside their territory. I am using communitu_79 map and tried using just 11 civ in play. If you or anybody else know how to make adjustments of the game file about city state placement I would love to know and learn it.

Not huge enough. The huge size is only intended for 12 civs and 24 city states.

If you insist on placing city states at the expense of good major civ settle spots, find the line "if fertility > 28 then" in AssignStartingPlots.lua and slightly increase the number (to 32 or something).
