If improvements are going to help healing they probably shouldn't do it until the Napoleonic era

lolwut y tho?

It was one of the many innovations of the French Republic's army. In the 18th century most soldiers served for life and so represented a large investment by the state. The levee en masse changed that, so in the Wars of the French Revolution you see armies greatly shortening their supply lines and simply stealing food, sleeping on the ground instead of in tents, things like that. This is part of what enabled the extraordinary mobility of Napoleon's armies

 

[Imperator Knoedel]

What of the 30 years war then?

 

[Leoreth]

Yeah this strategy is as old as warfare, if you can even call it a strategy. The levee en masse probably only changed the impact.

 

[Tigranes]

Yeah. I think that AI pillages a way too much, so even after they win a city, it has no production.

Imagine if all the wars would happen around city walls. Enemy carefully walks around your improvements to lay a siege while your city packed with defenders continues to work the tiles visited by the invaders. That's what human player does to win himself a territory with unmolested country side. No incentive to pillage at all. Perhaps when human Army passes through the tile random pillaging should happen without pressing pillage button?

Yes AI pillages randomly and pretty brutally and that prompts me to confront them in the field to save my Towns. War ravaged city not suppose to have much production. But human players has no incentives to behave realistically in that regard.

Perhaps make pillaging automatically done at the end of turns?

I have a super duper serious and important question:

Why do certain civs (France, Phoenicia) get the tile 1SE of Rome as Contested when we all know that spot’s never gonna be a city?

Especially especially why does Carthage get that tile but not Rome itself?

(ok I’m just salty about Carthage not getting Rome in its stab map)

Because Rome has to be destroyed. And to insure it will never be rebuilt you settle Carthagenian city just one tile next to it!

It's a good idea honestly. Ever since some scripted Legions spawned on my empty Rome and cost me the UHV I have always preferred to raze Rome as Carthage

Also, if you look at sufficiently small map 1 SE from Rome is where Cannae must be...

Spoiler 1SE :

This may already exist in-game, but I was wondering if it was possible for AI Britain to get a flip or a spawned stack in modern Northern India or Pakistan at some point in the 18th century.

Something I find common is Russia conquering all of Persia and Central Asia (it might be not so bad in newer revisions?), and getting Britain into the region to play out the Great Game might help counteract that.

EDIT: another colonization quibble—right now Portugal is a little bit too strong and stable. For instance, Brazil doesn’t spawn often enough. I think part of it is that the Netherlands doesn’t attack their empire as they did historically—is that too much railroading, though?

Greek need to be first at discovering aesthetics, but first at aesthetics also gives taosism religion. So, greeks to achive historic victory need to found taosism?

Greece will only found Taoism if they control a city in the Taoist core AKA China.

Would it be possible, please, to produce a World map showing DoC continents, as defined under the hood. I know North Africa is part of Europe and Siberia used to be different continent before Russian fixes. How does DOC define the world in v 1.15?

 

[Leoreth]

The following areas are regarded as separate continents:
1) Europe (including Siberia) + Midde East (including Persia) + Africa north of the Sahara
2) Africa south of the Sahara
3) East Asia (India + SEA + China)
4) North America
5) South America

It has always been like this, during the development of 1.15 a bug was introduced that uninentionally changed it and was later fixed.

 

[Tigranes]

Oh nice to know. What about Australia and Oceania? Is it in SEA or is it 6) which you have omitted?

 

[Leoreth]

The general game rule is that every contiguous landmass is considered a continent, like Australia and all islands in the game. I omitted all of these.

 

[Logoncal]

Will you add more specific events based on history? Something like Crusades (not the AP vote) where the "pope" player gets an army at the holy land based on how much support he gets from the other catholic civs.
Also, the middle ages in Europe are too peaceful IMO. We could have AIs going to war at historical moments like England DOWing France in the 1400s or the 30 Years War.

 

[Leoreth]

No I won't.

I have played a lot of RFC DOC lately, and I had always played a lot of KMod. Leoreth, have you played much KMod? The reason I'm asking is because I'm wondering if you have considered the inclusion of the worker and pathfinder changes Karadoc made to KMod? The worker AI seems to work pretty fantastic in KMod, especially if they are automated for trade network building purposes. Anyway, was just wondering if you had played KMod and had any thoughts about included the worker and pathfinder changes. Another change, though not everyone likes the aggressiveness of KMod's AI, the AI does do naval warfare quite well including loading transports properly. Lastly, the AI does not roam around in war with siege weapons as much as I've experienced with RFC. Just some thoughts of mine and was wondering your thoughts?
