Return to RAND - thoughts

[Meatbomb]

After some time away with other mods, thought I would fire up RAND. I remembered immediately how cool the UHV and historical entry dates were - BIG SMILE.

Then I got to my first plague, at the same time as the first wave of natives invaded my fledgling Inca Empire.

Three turns later, my whole army is dead and natives march in.

And I said to myself, "oh yeah, right, this is exactly why I quit playing this mod 6 months ago"... I remembered the silly "move all troops far from the cities" thing that you had to do for them to survive...

Rhye: honest feedback here, PLAGUE = teh suxxor. Please get rid of it, or majorly tone it down at least?

In regular RFC, I always manage to hold back the invaders even with the plague (Ameridian First Contact Plague is the only plague I left in my version).

Anyway, the Incas are supposed to be hard.

I remembered the silly "move all troops far from the cities" thing that you had to do for them to survive...

One of the reasons I disabled the plagues.

Well, I play RAND regularly and although plague is a not a nice event, still its never devastating. Concerning the Incas: you are even supposed to get the plague when attacked by the conquerors but still i managed to hold them off. I even got plague twice the last time I played the Incas and achieved the UHVs.

BTW much harder are the Ethiopians. They never ever survive in any of my RAND games, instead they get whiped out by camel archers.

you do not have the last version and got the native conquerors event, which is a bug.
