AU 1.02 Mod Feedback Thread

[ZargonX]

Right, now that it's out there and in use, this is probably a good thread to have. Whether you are using it for the AU game, or maybe just playing with it on your own, please add any comments you have about the mod here. Did a certain change make your game much better, or much worse? How was the AI? Just post away!

As I noted in my "phase 1" DAR for AU501, it's very important to read the thread that tells what was changed until you get used to it.
The 3-move stock curragh vs. the Sea costing 2 moves to enter gave me a surprise scare, though the RNG was kind this time around. I like it(I think), I just forgot about it.

I've noticed an impact upon AI research choices which, for now, makes the game a lot more interesting. I'm not sure how well it ultimately adds to an improved AI since I'm not too far into the game, but I like the feel of it.

I wasn't really paying attention before, but I noticed that most of the changes that have been done don't take place in the ancient era. I'll have to wait a bit to get a true gauge of the changes, but I'm thinking of making a play for the Statue of Zeus in AU501 just to see how the new Ancient Cavalry work. Hopefully I'll learn something useful for future discussion.

Just to make things clear: the version of the mod being used in AU501 is 1.01b, which includes alexman's flavors. Version 1.02 does not include the flavors.

Most, if not all, of you are currently experiencing 1.01b, not 1.02, and I assume a majority of your comments will involve the AI research choices. So this thread will probably not (or should not) receive many replies.

Whoops! Sorry about that, Dominae. My brain just thought of this a generic "how do you like the new AU Mod" thread and didn't notice that it was specific to the non-flavors version.

Whoops... that's my mistake; got the version numbers mixed up. Well, we can just make this a general AU Mod feedback thread, or I can start another one for the 1.01b version. Any thoughts?
