Tides of War, a balance mod

[Lord Parkin]

Cool, thanks for the report!

When did you guys research compass compared to other classical techs? The wharf is meant to be fairly useful - enough that you would get compass at some point much earlier than when you need it to get optics/astronomy. The notes in the first post were wrong when they said 100h - I thought I'd fixed it already but I guess I missed an occurrence. Fixed now.

After we'd finished most of the classical techs (and some medieval), so production was probably a bit higher than it would otherwise have been. I have to admit I'd actually forgotten about the Wharf, only realised when my partner pointed it out. Would have prioritized Compass a lot earlier if I'd remembered about it.

I also just re-worded the bugfixes section so it now describes the fixes rather than the bugs. The part you were confused about is thus: Previously, per-turn odds of these random map events was independent of game speed, unlike everything else related to tile yields. Now it varies with game speed as you would expect, so that quick speed gets a normal amount of things happening over the course of the game.

Okay, good to know.

I'm getting that you were PRO vs a non-PRO India? That does seem rough. I guess India is more balanced for situations where you get to pick your civ, and you don't pick it unless it's good for you. But also, 75h may well be too expensive. I was considering lowering it to 70 but ideally wanted some actual data first. What other traits and civ were in play?

She was PRO/IND Sumeria I think, I was AGR/CHM India. Definitely a bit rough seeing her get out a WB + Worker with time to spare while I was still waiting for my Worker. After a while it sort of evened up through the shaved off turns with the fast workers, but I never completely regained the early lost ground. If she'd been the type of player to aggressively press her early advantage I don't think I would have had much of a chance.
