I found Birth of Summer and Bloom of Twilight to be difficult to use because you can't tell for sure if they'll do anything until after you've cast them, and they are expensive at 200 mana. So I modded them to have a radius of 4 so you're likely to reveal something. However, while I didn't change the casting cost, I'm charged 400 mana for Birth of Summer. I can cast it with only 200 mana available, but it sends me into negative mana. I didn't change the cost, just the radius, so I don't know

Yeah, this is extremely frustrating. Half the time I start up an old game I can't just play it, I first have to research how to fix it myself. I don't even know how mods work for this so I have to figure that out first.

I often spend five hours building an empire and then discover I've already outclassed the AI without ever coming into a real conflict with them, or I get one good battle out of them and they're done. It's a long time to play to discover that the planning I did was not necessary. Monster threat level is inconstant. I've avoided battles because I thought I would get killed when I wouldn't and others I started and lost badly. Also regarding whether I use auto-resolve.
