The Sea Kings!

OK. I PM'd a link

Hey Gareth, did you get my pm?

I do now; reply sent!

I have an aesthetic question. Though the Sea Peoples rarely build cities (preferring instead to sack them), I'm trying to decide whether to make the unbuilt city names from the city.txt a mix of Philistine/Lycian names such as:
Ekron
Gath
Aphek
Araththi
Telebehi
Khadawati
Pttara
generic names from Mycenaean linear-b i.e.:
Da-pu-ri-to-jo
Da-ja-ko-ro
Me-ta-pa
etc...
or lastly Sea People tribal names for instance
Peleset
Tjekker
Shekelesh
Ekwesh

Any opinions?

I'd personally go for the first option.

Still working on that one? An ambitious project, I've been reading it for a year. Well, not true, just seen it for the first time and glanced through it, nice screenies

Having a playlist of all 24 Civ2 tracks playing in the background. Sad? Absolutely

Either Peleset or tribal. The linear-B names are a little too abstract and unrecognisable.

Seems like you're on the fast track by my standards. Keep having fun with it.

Thanks for the encouragement

I've noticed that all players seem to get a free tech on their first turn. This happens even though all of the plays start with a number of techs already researched, no beakers towards their next advance, and a pretty high tech paradigm IMO. Even the fundamentalist civ /w 2 size 1 cities. What gives? Is there anyway to prevent this??

How many flasks required for the first tech? What are the civs earning flask-wise?

In theory the full amount. The first tech seems to be free. But after that they take about 20 turns on average.

Hey is it possible to hex a square located underneath a city into a different type of terrain?

[AGRICOLA]

Yes. But you can also use Engineers to transform it.
