Hi all, haven't played or visited in a long time.
I might be wrong but it appears that at any difficulty after Regent, the computer is heavily stacked. Especially in the science game.
For instance, it's about year 3700 BC. (2 or 3 turns in ). I bump into the Zulu and have a dig at what they got in terms of science. Since it's so early in the game, they should only have the 2 techs they started with to trade with. but they've the got the initial 2 plus 3 more! Fine, pehaps they swapped techs with some else on the first or second turn. I restart.
I bump into a neighbour no more than 3 turns in. again, he's heavily loaded with excess techs to trade whereas all i have is my initial 2. i quit to check out the map. we're on an island! there's no 3rd party.
if the computer is stacked to begin the game, how can they possibly acquire so much so early. 3 turns in, they've already got 2 cities set up at least 4 steps from each other and a 3rd settler on the way.
Can somebody please recommend a good balancer mod. I don't want to change anything else. I just want the game to be fair.
btw, i've since fdisked my drive for viral reasons. can somebody recommend the latest and best graphics updates for the game?
Thanks!!
