I started as the Japanese and found my work boats trapped in one of the little lakes.
The "wars without contacts" happens to me all the time, I'll see if I can reproduce a save. It's so annoying, playing as Babylon I get civs like Rome, Japan, France and Carthage who always declare war on me even before I meet them.Again, if you wanna see a new version I need help with these 2 fixes:
1 - Hammurabi blank text
2 - Wars without contacts
Especially for the latter, which I couldn't reproduce. I need a save of before it happens.
Control 20% of world territory by 600 AD
Spread Islam to 40%
Control 20% of world territory by 1500 AD
Not exactly bugs but one Persian goal and the Arabia religion spread goal are just ridiculous difficult.
Persia:
Impossible. 4 % is a realistic target. Check this post.
Arabia:
40 % is awesome. In combination with the other Arabian goals this UHV is one of the hardest. I would say 25 or 20 % should be enough.
Mongolia:
Again too hard. Just imagine how many cities you need for this goal. And this goes against goal 2 "raze 7 cities". I would change this goal (20% world territory) in "have 4 vassal states".
As someone mentioned before the "all civs declare war on me" bug can be fixed by turning off "aggressive AI".
I never played RFC on Civ3 (more's the pity) but it appears that several of the UHVs have been brought directly over from it w/o any play-testing. Not blaming anyone. We all have only 24 hours in the day. I love this mod. It's all I play these days. Still, I would like an acknowledgment that UHVs have not been sufficiently tested.I absolutely agree with you, especially about Persia. I'm lucky if I can get to 6% of world territory by 600AD on Viceroy, and even then I'll be losing 29 gpt due to maintainence costs even on 0% research! There is a reason why I've never seen a strategy guide for Persia or Mongolia (and I've been looking hard)- because no one has been able to win as these civs! No one CAN win as these civs! 20% of world territory is like half of Eurasia-you're doing well if you can achieve it by the Modern Age. Since when did Persia control the bulk of Eurasia?
I made a post in the other bug report thread before I noticed the one for
RFCW. Mentioning that the AI of late starting civs disbands its workers, I
have seen it in both vanilla and warlords, both patched up to date and with
latest mod versions.
