Alpha,
Yeah, but after I said it (and emailed them) I don't see it anymore. (uh oh). It might be a load from within the game causes the cash to fall outta my pockets. I'll look into it a little tonight.
BTW, I got all your changes in and am trying to get in a war, but everyone is being reasonable. I chased the mexicans off my island, but afterwards, everyone held me in such high regard that I've had very little combat. Looks like the chinese and me are in for a little showdown, though...

But dont forget, the "stupid" AI wont fight a battle it cant win, so if you are running around with a powerful stack, no one will attack you. I've lost many a city tho by only leaving 2 or 3 garrison units in them, or by forgetting to modernize. Assuming that you have a fairly continuous border you wont have to deal with barbarians from within, but they will be effective against your borders. Depending on when you d/l'd the files, the barbarians wont randomly appear within 5,7, or 10 tiles of a city. 7 seems to be working the best because it forces you not to leave any large interior spaces outside of your borders. In my game tonight I had to repeatedly beat back barbarian attacks until I finally solidified my borders. Then all those barbarians turned on the nearest civ and took all 7 of their cities. Once I built the great wall, I sent in some units to watch the war, and some of the cities exchanged hands multiple times. Both the civ and barbs were stacking effectively and its a shame I couldnt have watched those battles to see what the stacks consisted of. I still have to tweak the barbarian build list some as once the I got hit with 12 mounted archers. Against my fortified centurians and archers, they never truly had a chance altho i did lose 2.
Let me know if you see any glaring unbalances. I've been playing with the units today to get better balance.
