I don't know how you're getting the last one while using vanilla ffh. We could just take tower of mastery victory off.

[Ellimist]

It's been done in multiple games.

It's not something that can be toggled in-game. Just don't build it without that tech.

[Tasunke]

I just mean that having a held defensive unit, or perhaps a warrior with heroic defense 2? Would b good for ppl not dying due to lair spawns. And I prefer sages to later eras because ppl get to choose (or have to choose) certain techs first rather than getting all for free.

At one point I had considered giving each civ a flavorful second starting tech. Like knowledge of ether for magical civs or fanaticism for Bannor. Or priesthood for malakim. Or currency for hippus. I guess Bannor could get code of laws instead of fanaticism. Vamps could get agri (or calendar) and Balseraphs could start with festivals.

Sages give you only one choice down a tech path. If you want free units we should start discovery. If you are concerned about barbs, we should turn barbs off.

Or just build some military units or choose a barbarian leader.

[Tasunke]

Sages give you points towards any tech path.

If you waited to bulb them I guess u could get knowledge of ether and alteration free ...

Tasunke, are you signing up for this game or just derailing the thread?

[Kragroth]

There's nothing wrong with having a preference.
