Rise and Rule Mod

R&R AI

Yes! I actually caught the Zulu's sneaking on me (and successfully sniped a tech off them for good measure!). However, I've noticed that the AI is impared by the 3-food-eating citizens.

It's been mentioned that a higher difficult helps the AI cope with R&R's differences. May I ask how? My understanding is that higher difficultes only change the starting conditions and rates of production for the AI. Did R&R re-do the AI?

In my first try all other civs simply settled where they started and so those who got sat next to a resource flourished while the Celts never grew beyond one city.

No, it's just that when you only need 12 food to grow a town without a granary, etc., it makes it a lot easier for the AI the compete. I don't think it's possible to change the AI too much in this regard. Only 'build often', etc., sort of things can be changed.

This sounds like a very neat way to play a pbem..I am getting some valuable experience..and this would maybe slow down someother players as well..make for a very interesting gameplay

Actually, sometimes it might seem that gameplay speeds up. Minimum research time has been dropped to one turn. So the techs come fast and furious.

Hey, I would love to try my hand in this.

I have set up PBEM before. Did you want start a thread in the PBEM forum to see if we can get at least one more player (I would prefer only four humans as more tends to bog a game down)?

A Rise and Rule PBEM sounds like a good test of general Civ skills. I'd be able to take another game on. Five or six players is managable for PBEM IMO, if they are strongly interested...

Anyone play the Rise and Rule mod for C3C yet? I'm getting my ass kicked up and down by the damn barbarians. Colonization of the continents is very slow because the barbarians are so tough.

I had a extrememly large continent and by 840AD, it was maybe a third colonized. Barbarian hoardes just swarm in and pillage everything, and the toughest unit I've got can't really hurt barbarian horesemen. This ain't garden variety C3C.

I've always played with Sedentary setting. I don't like barbs at all.
