I'm using the set of mods that Hexagonian prince suggested - the ones that slow down science, food production, and the like. Right now I really like it since its putting things pretty much dead-on with history. By the time of Christ, I'm still rowing about with triremes, and the Legion (sic) is still the main unit of power.
One thing someone mentioned elsewhere was altering the Const.txt file to improve how cities operate. With some playing about, I found that if I set the RIOT_LEVEL to 75 (rather than 73), you get a far more interesting city game. You can no longer afford to max your sliders and ignore it. I even find shrines to be important now.
A question: I noticed that when I DO have a riot, the city is still reporting gold and production. And I doing this right? According to what I read, the city should pretty much drop all gold and production while the riot is going on. ?????
