I wonder how easy it would be to mod this in, actually. Just finished a Domination Chandragupta game and I can say India has enough leader variety already. That was fun dominating a Pangaea map though.

I can see her being fun but I have no idea how to get there when none of her poo poo has anything to do with each other, or with her bonuses. She should get automatic walls from the start of the game. If your leader's entire THING is just "walls" then 50% production is just weak sauce. As it is, I have never even attempted a Georgia game and will only eventually do so for completionism. djfooboo posted:A Bedouin culture with small moving cities?

Piling on that Bull Moose Teddy is a totally fair and balanced leader with a lackluster ability. Just a turn one 8-yield tile, like you do. I ended up with a +5 Campus off against a mountain to the west, and an early Relic from a village because I clearly needed a free faith boost.

This is probably a dumb mod question, but is there anything that prevents my cities from turning into boring samey skyscrapers in the modern era? I always hate that stage in the game because suddenly my unique cultured cities look awful, but I do appreciate the other late game mechanics to not just want a mod that stops at medieval or whatever.

I can see her being fun but I have no idea how to get there when none of her poo poo has anything to do with each other, or with her bonuses. Adding a Sassanid Persian leader like Khosrau would be neat to have a more econ focused Persia. HRE-era Austria focused on city states would be a nice addition - I know they made Germany kind of represent the HRE as well, but it's not the same. It's also odd that there's no Eastern Roman/Byzantine Empire representation. Serbia could work but I'm pretty sure they don't want to touch the issues that would bring up with a 10 foot pole. Goths could use some representation. There's obviously a ton of options for additional Chinese leaders. I'd love to see some of the various empires of the Indian subcontinent get separate representation but it seems like we're stuck with "India" standing in for all of them which sucks.

Georgia gets double envoys and infinite golden ages if you manage to get the ball rolling. It's far from the best civ out there, but especially the envoys thing is great when you're not playing on "the player can never found a religion"-difficulties. Also they get the best music and the best city tile set! Also the world finally caught up to the point where I was allowed to recruit cultists. They're more or less just simpler indie rock bands, but I do appreciate that one of the Lovecraftian artifacts you can unearth is "Civilization 2: Hint Guide."

Is anyone else getting complete disaster insanity when Apocalypse Mode is off? In my current game i'm on Turn 37 and I've had 4 floods (2 major, 1 100 year, 1 1000 year), every volcano near me has switched from dormant to active and one of them has erupted 3 times including one of the eruptions being catastrophic. My previous attempt at Ethopia went to poo poo because the volcano just kept erupting, over and over and over and made trying to take advantage of the volcanic soil essentially impossible. I've been seeing this both modded and unmodded.

I'm doing a Deity game with disasters set to default, and one of my cities loses citizens to a flood or volcano every fifteen turns or so.

I did a similar one to a very good Natural Wonder that was full of Culture. Does the Vampire Castle resist being destroyed/pillaged by eruptions? Speaking of Tonga, I want a nation that is immune to Volcanic destruction. Any island civilization from the Ring of Fire would do.

I played a lot of the original VI but fell off after a month or so of heavy duty play. I'm just jumping back in after getting the two main expansion packs, and I have a few questions: My friends want to play multiplayer, and they have the season pass and want to try Secret Societies. Do I need to get the pass to play with them? The non-season pass Civ packs all have negative reviews on Steam. Is this just the usual gamer griping and will I be OK getting them (10 bucks for 7 Civs sounds all right in terms of value) and will I be able to use them in a multiplayer match if other players don't own them?

The standalone civ packs are fine (Australia is sorta OP), and I'm guessing the reviews are just steamed gamers. I don't know about Frontier Pass features in multiplayer, but you can definitely use the civ pack civs in multiplayer even if other players do not have those.

Yeah, infinite golden ages is pretty dang sweet in and of itself. I think that was previously Persia's gimmick in Civ V but since Persia is run by Cyrus and focuses on backstabbing it's a little different, haha.

Or is he meant to be another Cyrus? Backstabbing isn't what I'd associate with Cyrus the Great.

Similarly (but wouldn't make QUITE as many people mad), Thomas Sankara of Burkina Faso would be cool, but he was only leader of a small country for four years, not exactly an empire.

Not sure why each society doesn't open up the first time you find or do the thing you need to find or do. I've had a game where I simply never got the voidsingers no matter how many villages I popped, and i saw the same thing happen to potato mcwhiskey.

Think I found the perfect Civ for using Vampires: Scythia! All their units heal on enemy kills, which helps the Vampires get past how tricky it is to heal normally.

My guess is that they don't want people to gun for a specific society, by making it a random element you have to react to the once you get it. You also get the risk-reward of taking the first one you received and maximizing your plays with it vs holding off for a society that is more optimal....but you risk losing out on the early benefits. That's my guess anyway, I still think it is a bad idea though.

Well my friend is now telling me that I will need the Ethiopia pack to play Secret Societies with them. If I pay for the Ethiopia pack now, what will happen if I decide I want the rest of what's in the pass? Is the Pass a "Best Value" scenario where if I buy things piecemeal I'm gonna end up paying a lot more?

I had an inevitable Culture victory going with 3 parks, and pulled ahead in the space race after sabotaging all of Gandhi's spaceports. But instead I accidentally won a pretty on the nose Diplomatic victory by building the Statue of Liberty for the exact number of points I needed. 'Merica!

They kinda tried that with Civilization Beyond Earth but it was half-hearted. You never got leaders fully mutating into bugmen or cyborgs or looking like Warhammer 40k Imperium guys (even though one of the three alighnments is totally just that).

It would be fun to have Sankara though. You could maybe get loose with this history and have him be one of the leaders of Ghana or Hausaland or one of the other big empires that occupied Burkina Faso territory in the past.

Someone at Civfanatics looked at the code. quote:Yes, there is a base percentage chance that can be modded (e.g. You have a 70% chance to be invited to join the Voidsingers when a goody hut is entered.) However, the four triggers are hardcoded, but they could be switched around among the four SSs if you wanted.
