What do you mean? Some of the new ones' suzerain powers are busted! You mean where they actually spawn or how many units they can have? (Hint: it's a whole fucking lot)
In post 22, brassherald wrote:I would play, but fair warning, I am way out of practice.
I generally just play at default Difficulty unless its after work, where I lower difficulty because I'm tired.
You wont get better playing at settler-3, my friend.
I like to play on emperor, prince is fair but the ai isnt aggressive enough. King and above is where the AI has to literally cheat to be better because apparently you cant program AI to be good at civ, which sucks, but if I dont go to that difficulty the ai is simply not a threat
Do you use the improved AI mod?
And, yeah, if I really get back into the game, I'll start pumping it up again.

Just smarter. They do things that make sense, its still inefficient, but smarter.
Also, they do stuff like place their cities next to yours, then complain that you are too close, like usual

In post 30, brassherald wrote:Yeah, the new expansion might have messed up the barbarian spawns, by the way, Canada had to kill about 40 barbarians tonight.
I think YMMV because my games have been fairly normal, and you always have outliers. Using any mods that could be messing with it? Both my CS spread and my barbies have been... basically what I expected? I think with CSes there are some map scripts which specifically might choose "ok, more CSes are allowed to be near Hungary, etc." or "let's split the CSes down this imaginary line... oh they all happen to be in this one area blocked by this one player, aw well" ya know?
Just like the Mali's start bias towards Desert sometimes yields like, a 2-tile desert and I shake my head in shame
Sometimes you get that kinda map
And sometimes you get a Mali start in a massive desert criss-crossed with rivers (the dream!) with the Dead Sea, the Eye of the Sahara, and the new white chalk desert NW and you thank the map seed gods for the fun game they've given you
That's a good point, I might need to turn off the AI mod, might be not working with the game correctly since everything has felt a little off.
I will say, I want to actually try all the civs in this expansion, unlike the last one.

I wasn't going to be as aggressive as Teddy usually is, I just saw that they changed some of his things for the new expansion and wanted to try it.

Americas new change (+1 favor for each wildcard slot) is probably really understated. By the tier 3 governments that's like +10 per turn or something ridiculous. I really like that it adds to American niche as a civ thats really vanilla early game but slowly starts to snowball into a world power by the modern era
I feel like America was always kind of that way, but yeah, I like the idea of this

I just played like the first two ages of a game where I was Maori, talk about a military power coming online suddenly. Toa units are ridiculously good.
I just wanted a guy to back off of me and all of a sudden I knocked him out of the game.

So, either the Maori is super strong compared to both Canada and Hungary, or the difficulty settings may be a little off for the new expansion. My Maori playthrough was on Prince and it was really easy compared to the Warlord playthroughs I had for the other two to figure out new mechanics and what the fuck Canada does.
Conclusion on the Canada front: Play hockey, I guess?

In post 87, Maestro wrote:As long as you've gotten Iron Working, you can mass armies of levied CS Swordsmen on another Civ by turn, like, 30 or 40, and just wipe them out completely. And I would think that's true of any large tech jump for military.
Hungary gets a start bias towards CSes, btw, which inevitably means they basically have free armies in the early game that no other player can match. This jumps to an insurmountable lead if they happen to start with, like, Valletta or another good Militaristic CS that will have a large standing army.
The issue I had with Hungary was my first attempt spawned literally no City States on the same continent as me.

Canada denounced me in my Maori play through. I might be at war with literally every other Civilization if I go back to it. I do like that the global diplomacy is better in that way

If it makes you feel better, Elbirn, I just don't use faith points like half the time. I'm bad at religious victory, considering I have been playing this game since before Rise and Fall came out IIRC, and have never gotten a religious victory (I get bored)

Honestly I just build enough holy sites to ensure I get a religion ASAP no matter what, mostly a defensive measure against civs going for religious victory + wanting good bonuses for myself, pick "religious colonization" so I dont even have to think about spreading my religion to my own cities, and then hopefully pick up some bonuses or whatever for spending faith on military/civilian units so they at least have a purpose. I've gotten one religious victory and it was an accident while going for a domination victory honestly
Maybe that's how I'll need to get a religious victory, I remember my first cultural victory was by accident because I had planned to do scientific, then all of a sudden I was like 90% of the way to cultural.
