Not sure why, whether this is a steam thing but I suppose it does not matter. Seems strange that saves for my PBEMs go in one place and mods in the other but more important than anything is that it works. Goodness, I can't wait for some time to play around with all these civs.
There's so much variety, it's crazy. Will definitely be up for a PBEM soon! Another thing I noticed about FfH is that it seems to have it's own community here. What I mean by that is that in the FfH games, if something goes wrong, people shrug, call it one of those things and move on. In BTS, people tend to take things more personal. They seem more competitive, at least in the way they express themselves. Also, some of the maps made for the FfH games are unreal. Can. Not. Wait.
Glad to hear you like the game! Hopefully you'll join the next PBEM that starts... might be a while with 2 games going on but it'll come eventually. Maybe you can even try to start one if you become impatient .
The great thing about FFH compared to BtS is that each civ is so unique. And the differences are not minor things like in BtS usually (to my understanding) but more like big things when used properly. And yeah like Mardoc pointed out, still all the civs are pretty much equal and playable. I remember when I first started playing FFH - the amount of new things is just so enormous that it'll take a while to learn all that. Even after many years you still can't remember or know all the details. So just play around with different civs, it's the best way to learn.
