So you have to unlock new Civilizations EVERY GAME?

[DeadSlash]

Do I get this right? I have been getting what I thought were bugged messages like "You have unlocked The Normans" *thinking* it was literally a bug that kept telling me about a civilization I had already unlocked...

But NOW, I'm thinking that if I don't take the proper steps in any given game, I CAN'T play as the Normans in the second age unless I unlocked them.

Is that right?

At the top of your screen, there is a button to see everything you unlocked.

Some civilizations are unlocked automatically based on your choices.

For example: Isabella automatically unlocks Spain

Also, civ choices auto-unlock other civs.

For example: Rome unlocks the Normans and Spain; Spain unlocks Mexico, etc.

The unlocks above are automatic. YOu pick the right leader or historically relevant civ, you will get the unlock.

The remainder are unlocks you get for achieving things in the game.

3 towns near mountains - Inca
3 (or 4) tea in your trade network - Ming
Trade silk (probably 3 or 4, I never remember the number)- Mongolia
There are a bunch that unlock via having resources in your empire this way.
Have 3 coastal cities - Chola

You are correct. You can't choose the civ you want to play, and instead have a limited selection each game based on your actions in that game.

I have a riddle, It's not specifically for you, but if you know that answer, by all means share it:

Why is it that the more I learn about this Civ the more I dislike it?

ffs, If I unlock the Normans, I should have access to them in any cive that can branch into them from that point forward. It's ridiculous that I have to plan out crap like building a certain amount of walls or markets to *qualify* to pick a certain civ,

Ok, to clarify, do I have to do those things in each game INSTANCE, or just once?

You gotta unlock the civs every match. There is mod to fix that tho.

Thank you.

Where can one get the mod?

[Soulcrusher842]

Yes you need to unlock the civ every new game. There are also leaders that will already have it unlocked.

Do I feel like I need a mod to unlock everything. No. It's part of the strategy. If you really want to play that civ, play the leader that has it unlocked lol.

I think Mongolian unlock is to have 3 siege units in Antiquity

Lol.

No you are mistaken, you don't have to take those steps every game, once you unlock it, you can use it for any future game you want. I think its a neat idea

[hannibal_pjv]

The default is "historical" option(s). Everything else is based on how do you play.

[Rhapsody]

Every civ will unlock at least one civ for the next age, so you can always plan around that regardless of which leader you choose to play or how your game actually goes. Mauryan can always progress to Chola and then Mughal, for instance, and there's usually great synergy in that path, and if you only have one option to choose from, it's automatically locked from all other players' use.

This is wrong.
