Spoiled lurkers only!

Other players begone, or I'll turn them to frogs.

I'm looking for a new headset w/ mic and have a budget of around £60 (around $100?). I have very little knowledge of what to look for and could use some help on what to look for.

So uhh....HALP ME!

Hello everyone, this is the first time I post in your forum. I am an old user of CivFanatics and I saw your mod listed there and got me interested. I reallty would like a version of FFH2 that allows fun and balance using all the civs. For example I like playing with the Doviello or Illians and get frustrated that their options in FFH2 are not equal to other civs. So I am happy you are developing this mod, since I know nothing about modding, but I enjoy playing and thank you all for your effort.

Ok, to the point, I installed what I think is the latest version of EitB (v0009 or so) and had my first game with the following settings:

Random Civ
against 13 AI Random Civs
Medium Map
Erebus Continent
Epic Speed
Monarch difficulty (usually play on Emperor but as this was 1st time using EitB I went with Monarch)

So I got the Hippus led by Rhoanna. Right away the fun began, since I got three nice neighbours: Balseraphs and Clan on the South, Svartalfar very close to the North. Chain of mountains to the West (I really like that Erebus Continent script) and Cassiel to the East, he would become my all game ally.

With such neighbours I followed the natural road of the Hippus, straight to Warhorses, and I subjugated my enemies with military power... hordes of Horse Archers won me a Domination Victory.

I enjoyed most of the changes that you have made, in the tech tree and trying to balance the strength of units. Just few observations:

- Religions ---> Ljosalfar founded RoK and Bannor FoL... I think it lorewise it would make more sense that Elves go straight for FoL and dwarves for RoK.

- Factions ---> I was fighting three evil Civs (Balseraphs, Svartalfar and Clan) and I got a -3 in relations with Sabathiel because of "declaring war on his friends"... I think good-evil enemyship should be stronger, maybe "-10 you are evil/good", "-5 you are neutral"

- Vassals ---> I was the first to discover Feudalism and immediately some Civs ask for my protection, including Auric... A GOD asking me to become my vassal... And as I was on the domination road I agreed... I don't know, I would like that some leaders were so proud, that would rather die than being vassalized... just and idea.

Well, I must say that I enjoyed the game and I will be playing again soon. Thanks to all modders for their work and for keeping this great game alive. Cheers!

Remember, Mardoc, 'We can wait a while to play, no one's in a rush'. Repeat that often enough and you might even believe it yourself.

RE: Mythbusters episode on the China shop.

That totally wasn't realistic at all. They didn't bring a bull into a shop, they put props in a corral. Bulls fucking LOVE corrals. Of COURSE they will behave in one.

However ... surround them in 4 walls, a door they can barely fit through, and you will have hell on earth. Anyone should know that putting a bull in a china shop would result in the deaths of at least the bull, and probably several people as well. Claustrophobia/Fear is a much greater incentive to the saying (and the destructiveness of the real situation) than the mere presence of plate-wear/ china. Imho

As far as I can tell the 'land size' is just the average size of each land mass rather than the entire map size.

Is there any way to reduce the entire map size?

I tend to lose interest when I have to march loads of units across the map every turn.

Gaspar mentioned in a private thread that he doesn't ever want to play another pitboss game, for various reasons. And I started wondering, who here prefers to play PBEMs, and who prefers to play pitboss games, and why they prefer that?

As we all know the civilopedia of FFH2 is missing a lot of entries.
This is a list of all missing entries (currently only units+heroes+buildings+wonders), and a place to propose entries to be included.

I have a question relating to PBEM 44. I've posted the question in my thread. Click below and help me out so I can get the game going again. PBEM 44 players, keep your distance.
