First I would like to say BTW is great, and big sincere thanks to those who contributed mods.
Now, I consider myself a casual player. I play for the experience and fun rather than for a challenge. With that said, I gave up on Rhye's Scenario out of frustration. I don't know if this is normal, an anomaly, or what. I am not saying there is something wrong, or I don't like the mod, I am just saying I don't understand the mechanics of what happened. Here are a few things that happened to me that I hope someone could explain:
- I built a city near another civ's border. I think it just disappeared a few turns later. I don't recall seeing a message that indicated any trouble. I just happen to notice two separate civ's units there and no city, no messages, nada - just gone! Did I miss something or a glitch?
- I was at war with Arabia. We were trading blows. I was getting the best of him slowly but surely. Then he mounts an attack on a city and takes it unexpectedly. I take it back the next turn. No problem, now back to directing my war plan. A few turns later, 3 - 4 new units appear in that city that is now taken over somehow. Again, I don't recall any messages regarding a battle, takeover, etc. The units were under the Arabian flag. However, they were "Phygian" (spelling)?. And they were units that he did not have previously - for example a war elephant. I know those units did not move through any tiles to get there, they just seemed to materialize out of nowhere.
- On the next turn, two more cities were were just "absorbed" into the Arabian empire - ? ? ? And then, two more cities were taken over away from the action by "Independents" - again, no messages, battles, etc.
In effect, in a few turns, half of my cities were hornswaggled by some voodoo magic. What were the mechanics of these events? I was in first place, with a a ton of culture and a sizable military.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can clear things up for me.
