Suggestions and Requests

I suggest to add 30 more turns to the 2020 game over deadline. With all the new additions for late game most games have no time to explore digital era and truly modern warfare.

But you can play past Time Victory (aka 2020 AD) no?

Or maybe 80. Until 2100, like that.

That could prove to be too radical, but given that 2020 is the next year we will soon have no future in this game... literally!

I just finished a game as Brazil via UHV. A couple of comments:

1. The improvement for spices are now orchards instead of plantations. Can we reduce the required slave plantations for Brazil's UHV from 10 to 8?
2. I played from a 1700 AD start, and I was lucky enough to encounter a still-surviving Congo that would provide me enough slaves. However, I needed to control a colony outside my home continent to be able to buy them. Perhaps the post-colonial civs (Brazil, America, Mexico, Colombia, Argentina and Canada) could be allowed to buy slaves even without a colony.

You should be able to buy slaves when running Slavery, is that not the case? If so, can you share a save?

I suppose this has more to do with BUG than DOC, but in case it piques your interest.

There's a tab in the BUG expanded domestic advisor for religious buildings, which as of now doesn't accommodate the extra religions from DOC not present in the vanilla game. Plus, it has columns for each of the religious shrines, which I'd view as unnecessary since there can only be one of those and chances are you know what cities they're in. It even has an entire column to mark the presence Cristo Redentor wonder:

Would it be possible to remove the wonders columns and add the ones for temples, monasteries and cathedrals of the religions missing from it?

I don't see the option for this, how can I access this screen?

Can the Turkic AI be programmed to settle Tabriz more often? They usually settle Rasht and I feel that it's a bit too close to Isfahan.

In this save file, I can't buy slaves from Congo until I took over Lagos, which became my first colony.

About the new HRE UHV goal, how about 'influence n votes in World Congresses'?
Or, 'return n Euro cities to their original (core) nation by diplomacy (Congress) or force (Liberation)'.

Nevermind, I'm an idiot and had no idea what the "customizable" part actually means. You can actually edit in-game what the BUG advisors show. It's like I'm rediscovering the wheel.

Also, I think I've just noticed a bug (no capitalization) with the Russian Cossack, it's replacing the Pistolier instead of the Hussar.

Going back to suggestions though, I'd propose Camel Gunners to upgrade into Gunships like Cavalry does.

I still think it would be a good idea to add those buildings to the tab as the default setting.

You need to enable the BUG domestic advisor first (the vanilla advisor is the default one). Open the BUG options, go to the advisor tab and select the BUG domestic advisor. (You need to restart the game before it works)

 

[Leoreth]

Alright, I agree. I'll update the default settings.

1) I was wondering, is it possible to have the various shrines that are preset in 600 AD be automatically built if you play a post-600 AD civ loaded from 3000 BC? It would help make the post-600 situation more normal in those games.

2) For the love of Königsberg, can we stop ancient Egypt from founding six or more little cities in Egypt? They spam useless cities that then sit there and ruin the region for the rest of the game. I’d much prefer them to only have 3 cities max.

 

[Leoreth]

1) Play the 600 AD scenario?
2) Won't address this before the new map.

1) Yeah, but I like Catholicism be founded in Trier or wherever sometimes.

2) Fair.

 

[Leoreth]

But either you like divergence or you don't. Railroading the 3000 BC scenario goes against its purpose imo.

 

[JHLee]

While Leoreth has a point, it is also true that AIs often fail to build shrines in the 3000BC scenario, which is strange because AIs are usually quick to build shrines in vanilla BTS.
Maybe this has to do with a) non-prophet GP points from wonders? b) AI civs collapsing?
Also I have never seen the AI build the Dome of the Rock, in any scenarios.
Does this has to do with AI priority? Or is the AI blocked from building that particular wonder?

 

[Oblivionyx]

Maybe shrines can be auto-built in the right time period if the holy city is under Independent control.

That sounds too exploitable for human players..

During autoplay?
