Where does the game get it's idea of what constitutes a city "rightfully" asking to join a different civ. Last game, I had a city I just founded asking to join the Balseraphs. There wasn't even any Balseraph culture in view. For unrelated reasons, I decided to evil clows needed to die and took over all of their cities. The turn after I wiped the civ, every one of the ex-balseraph city was "rightfully" asking to join the Grigori. What gives?
I know it's not a problem on the part of the mod, but a problem with the original game. It's just a tad annoying and I know that one of these days I'm going to missclick and have to go to war just to get one of my cities back. Be great if something could be done about it.
 
In my last game, I conqored are Malakim city, and it wanted to Join the Elohim, which wern't even on the same contanant.
 
It is an annoying BTS mechanic, not unique to FfH.
 
yea it's pretty annoying, it happens especially if it's crowded. Although it doesn't happen much in the later game.

Kael, any way to disable this particular thing? It really doesn't have any gameplay value and if I wanted to give a city to someone, I may as well gift it through diplomacy.
 
It's been said already, but turn advisor pop-ups off in the options menu. It'll get rid of all the other annoying pop-ups at the same time :)
 
A general culture fix would be better. It's a moron design to start with. If you take a city from someone, it can't flip back to them without the setting enabled, but another side with even less culture than you have can steal it on the revolt. The liberation issues are minor next to that.
 
Incredibly, only 5 turns away from a Cultural Victory, I was offered to swap out my civ for another civ way down in the score.

Yeah, I went for that...:rolleyes:
 
Heh, I usually get that one waaaay early on in the game. Would have loved to try it out during late game sometime, but definitely not when I'm about to win a cultural victory.
By the way, how can you wait that long? It would always take me forever to amass even 5,000 culture let alone 50,000 and I just do not have that kind of patience...

I think that event is actually only supposed to happen when you're way superior (considering the text for the event). Never used it myself :)

Never used it either. If I wanted to play as the Clan, I would have chosen them rather than the Calabim. Of course, I would have had to fight my old Civ, since the CLan were on the end of a small continant, and the Calabin, my starting Civ, Compleatly blocked any acspancion.
 
Wait a moment, I thought the latest unofficial BtS patch promised to have the "rightfully join those pathetic losers" appear only once per city concerned...
