Sorry if I don't make any sense, but they're coming at me like aliens in Aliens.
40 to quinns.
Well Indeed these are Raging Hordes.
For the first time I'm seeing so many ninja barbs popping from half of ruins I visit

I found out fresh 3 new barbarians!
Damn it
Turn 40 to Solar. I finally entered a ruins that didn't have barbarians. 600 gold woo hoo! Maybe the spell is over??
Strange... the const.txt file in the FF gamedata folder still says RUINS_CHANCE_PER_BOX 1.0 (I think that means a 1% chance for each hex to contain a ruins.) Just curious, how did you increase it by 25%?Originally Posted by Max_Smirnov
Turn 39 to quinns.
And quinns... No, we didn't change the way barbarians work, I haven't seen anything like this before! But we DID make ruins a little more abundant (about +25% I think).
This actually means 1.0 ruins per box. A "box" is 7x7 tiles afair. I've decreased the size of the box, to 5x5 afair.
Turn 41!
Quinns - I don't think so :P
It's just that they are hidden... Waiting for you to soften and send a settler alone or with weak army...
Btw: I'm first at power graph again
I feel... supreme!
I see, thanks. Then you've doubled the density of ruins, my friend7x7 = 1 ruins every 49 tiles; 5x5 = 1 every ruins 25 tiles! Or, another way to look at it -- in the vanilla game 2% contain ruins, in the FF version 4% contain ruins! No wonder we're busting at the seams with barbarians!
Turn 41 to Solar.
This is not only the biggest swamp I've ever seen in the game, it's also a few time bigger than the previous record.
My settlers are looking for a place to settle... and looking... and looking...
On the positive side, no barbarians!
Turn 42 to Max.
And have a great dessert, full of barbarians and other troublesome thingies (more barbarians + no place to settle :P)

We'll see tonight how the battle goes.
I'd say it'll be Barbs 1:0 Solar
hyhyhyhy
Lol, you're right, quinns, I didn't do the math. I've realized it soon after posting and was sure that somebody will make fun of me. BUT I'm not sure those 5 and 7 numbers are right, they might've been 9 and 7, or 8 and 6, or even 7 and 6
Observation: the unit of population that turns into settler - whatever they were producing last turn - it's wasted.
Turn 42 sent.
Well I want to confirm - When my notebook broke I've played plenty of Deity games (short ones, cause game bugged* around turn 100) on my old PC. And I've never ever seen even a half of the amount of barbarians we have to fight in this game.
*- Well nothing work properly on it, so don't worry about CTP bugging.
Let us all shed a tear for the poor settling party.
Turn 43 to quinns.
Turn 43 to Solar. Tears shedding for Solar's Settlers...What a shame... NOT!
I've killed more of them, but even more are coming!
1 is going to attack me soon. I'm kinda scared, cause if he'll kill someone in my city and/or destroy a building...
I may be ****ed
It's in the const.txt file in the gamedata folder. Search for Ruins_Box_Height/Width or something like that. But you're right. The vanilla game is actually 6x6, and FF is 5x5... So yeah, about a 25% increase -- close enough! Not enough, though, to explain these Insane Hordes!Lol, you're right, quinns, I didn't do the math.

Turn 45 to quinns. And now I'm the God-Pharaoh of the Vikings
If I'll find any opponent I'll erase him completely in 20 turns.
I have enough of this freakin desert. I must smash something to release my anger.
IIIIIII
FOOOOOUUUUUUND
SOOOOOMEEEEOOOONEEEEEEE!
PREPARE FOR OBLIVION!
Turn 47 to quinns.
Turn 47 to Solar. Eerion's getting into it... Get down with your bad self Eeerion!
Naaah, going berserk is fun :P
Hey guys, I'm sailing!
Turn 48 to quinns. I finally might be getting those barbarian pests under control now... And looks like my Sphinx is unchallenged. Expect Phalanx spam on my part
Also, congratulations, Solar. I know you're sailing because you have to
Yawn. I wonder when quinns will be back.
