Beyond the Sword Fact Sheet

[Jaybe]

I had no problems with CtP2 ... other than the HORRIBLE AI (which I understand Solver's liking for it was only for multiplayer).

[Solver]

The CtP2 AI was a disgrace, but I like the game for its mods, not the stock game itself. You'd be surprised how solid some of the mod AI was.

What do you expect, with just the generic "Native Americans"?

[Jaybe]

Silly Kuciwalker, I'm sure he wasn't referring to the American continent.

How is Charlemagne a renaissance scenario? Wouldn't it be Middle Ages?

Exactly my thoughts

[Virdrago]

That was only 11... what happened to Superrobo? (Or am I bringing up something that shouldn't be mentioned?)

Still, thanks, Dale!

Is that as in Ctp2 on-map trade routes? If a PW system/option gets introduced I think we'll need to close the CTP2 forum

[Nikolai]

I never liked the PW system, although I'm not so fanatic about it as some others. I do hope civ continues to use workers though. The trade routes, those worked in CtP2 so that if a unit was on top of it, it could be pirated, right? If they are too long I figure that can be tiresome to prevent. OTOH, if it is a plus to have a trade route go through your civ(think silk road), it could be nice.
