Is that new? I never noticed that. So a lv1 bot capital city makes 5 stars?

Nope, it's literally always been that way.

And yes.

Ah got it, thanks for the clarification. The phrase "the only difference” made me confused.

Yeah, that's on me, sorry!

That's what I meant with behavioral changes, I meant aggressiveness differences between difficulties.

And I also thought that hard/crazy bots were more aggressive hence why I'm surprised that u/Zoythrus said that there are no such differences. Unless they also misunderstood my initial comment.

Yeah, I did. I thought you meant like "do they get any special abilities/tactics per difficulty level".

Aggressiveness goes up. Thats about it.

Because coding an AI is hard

There seems to be more two to three tribe islands on continents now instead of land masses after this map gen patch (I’m assuming perfection mode defaults to continents)

It does default to Continents

So, the only difference with the AI levels is how many stars their capital makes.

1/2/3/5 for Easy/Normal/Hard/Crazy

Ok, but what should I do? I have enough money to buy stuff, but I can't! Cause I look for another ways !

Begging isn't doing you any favors.

We understand that you can't buy things right now because of sanctions. Legally, we can't give you a way to circumvent them, either.

You'll just have to wait for them to be lifted.

Also, what about Steam? Have you tried that?

That's what I was saying, if my first post was not clear.

If you can show me some pictures replicating it, I can do something

It must be a feature then?

I think the situation is only possible if the giant stands on a tile with road, so he is able to move 2 tiles, but the pathfinder algorithm decides that he can jump on a ship, and disembark in the same turn and cause splash damage?

If the same giant stands in front of a port like so

L-W-L (Land water land) G-P-L1 (giant, port, land) L-W-L, He would not be able to cross the river in one turn to tile L1 right?

A giant, or any other unit, should not be able to embark and disembark on the same turn.

If they can, that's a bug

I think I found a bug that when a giant moves from land to land, but one of his step involved a port, he will still cause splash damage. The pathfinder algorithm should not consider moving through a port as a possibility.

Not technically a bug.

Damn now I'm curious how you got to be where you are, must be a hell of a tale XD

I'll keep it short.

I was a fan that accidentally got the job after taking over the Discord that eventually became their official one.

It has been a crazy trip, that's for sure.

Though that's so cool, I've always wanted to visit and see that beautiful state (I've only been to Florida before). Greetings from the UK! :)

Out of the core Midjiwan staff, I'm the only one that isnt Swedish. :P
