Quick Notes on this version
----------------------------------

The big progress in this release:

There are now 13 total new civs in this mod, and 16 new leaderheads. These civs origininated in SuperCiv, but I've refinished them all extensively. All of these civs now have completed 'pedia entries, reworked UU's with pedia data, leaderheads with full 'pedia data and historical first contact quotations, correctly functioning flags and emblems, and ALL 16 LEADERHEADS have custom soundtracks! I'm really happy with the way the new civs have polished up and I think they're now (finally) a nice addition to this mod.

Also in this version:
-9 new promotions from Zuul's Perks & Promos.
-Cultural Decay fixed
-Hyapist Unit changed to make it more useful.
-Magellan's Voyage changed a bit, now only affects local city.
-Changed Main Menu soundtrack and graphic (just fun stuff).


----------------------------------
What is it?
----------------------------------
A rounded, hopefully balanced, stand-alone mod incorporating some of the best of what's available on Civ Fanatics as well as a host of custom modifications and improvements specific to this mod.

My hope is that this is a mod that both fixes the things that annoy most of us in the original interface and game, and a mod that adds the best of the features dreamed up by the Civ4 community. It's more than just a mod collection; significant customization and integration has been done to polish the mod and bring it all together.

As a rule I have avoided mods that significantly alter gameplay. There are no significant religion changes, combat changes or customizations that alter the basics; my hope is that this mod will serve as an upgraded interface and expansion without drastically changing the underlying game.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------


----------------------------------
The Details
----------------------------------
There are currently 13 new civilizations included in this mod, a total of 16 new leaderheads (4 animated, 9 stationary). I've added huge portions of missing civilopedia text for these civs, leaderheads, and UU's, I've redone the button graphics for leaderheads and UU's, and modified most of the UU's themselves. I've now also customized the greeting text for all 16 leaderheads, and I've done custom soundtracks for ALL 16 LEADERHEADS. I've also done historical quotes for leaderhead first contacts when possible.

FexFx's Endurance and Marathon speeds (870, 1200 turns) were used in place of the standard epic and marathon games. These speeds are a bit longer than the vanilla versions and better balanced. I left normal and quick alone for those of you who like to play faster MP games.

Lost Wonders -- 10 new wonders, 1 national wonder, 3 new buildings, and a few changes to existing buildings.

New Wonder: Magellan's Voyage: +1 trade route all costal cities, +1 commerce sea/coast squares, and a +1 movement range bonus to ships built in this city. Pretty big wonder, so it's relatively expensive. GREAT artwork from C. Roland on this one.

Lost Units -- (Partially): Aegis cruiser, trebuchet, bazooka, strike fighter, biplane, privateers, and more. Not included from this mod are the 7 unique religious units (saving space for religious mods) and the commando unit (who was a bit overpowered).

Domestic, Foreign, & (Now!) Military Advisor Updates -- Initially inspired by Requies and taken farther by SupremeOverlord and 12Monkeys, these screens look great.

Massively expanded unit upgrades courtesy of Zuul. A nice job of balancing the new upgrades with existing options and overall an excellent flavorful addition to the game. Most recently added 9 new promotions including Defense and Formations.

UN Mod -- The United Nations now allows votes on ANY civic, not just the bottom five.

Actual Quotes -- Willowmound has compiled authentic (or as near as possible) quotations for the diplomacy text of almost all of the leaders.

Ancient Era Music -- The earliest part of the game is no longer silent! Version 2.0+ has a much expanded selection, and version 2.3 now incorporates a total of 10 soundtracks for the ancient era.

Industrial Civ Changes -- Industrial civs no longer get a 50% wonder bonus. It was just too easy for these civs to grab the early wonders in the game. Instead, the Industrial Civs will get a +1 hammer bonus on any plot producing 3 or more hammers. Read the planned changes below for more ideas.

Cultural Decay Mod -- A balancer that lets culture decay over time when a civilization loses control of a square.

Tech Conquest -- Capturing or destroying an enemy city will reveal some percentage of a technology to you, assuming the enemy has one you don't. Version 2.0+ of this mod was heavily modified in terms of % gain. Now there is a random 1-25% gain of a tech, plus another 5% per city population.

Upgrades to fortresses to make them more useful, give better benefits to garrisoned units, etc.

Air Intercept ReInit Patch -- 12Monkeys put together a neat little hack to make your aircraft go back on patrol after loading a game up. At the end of your first turn all of your planes on intercept missions will garrison and re-launch on their intercepts so you can see them flying around their cities. No more checking to see who's on patrol--I hated the fact that they'd stop circling.

PlotList enhancement -- I'm including 12Monkey's plot list enhancer. Now you can tell at a glance who's fortified, who's healing, and who's injured.

Forest Replanting -- Originally a concept of GreenMod, and also some other replanting mods I've seen. The current system works as follows: A worker must spend a base 8 turns replanting forest. When the job is done a "New Forest" will appear on the plot. The city must work this square to get the forest to grow. After a few turns it becomes a young forest (gaining a +1 hammer), then Developed Forest, then it becomes a Fully grown forest and the plot may be used as a normal forest plot. Prior to the development of the "full" forest, the forest cannot be chopped for production! This balances the chop gain, because you have to spend time with citizens working on the plot to get the forest back when they could be mining, etc, so the system can't really be abused to repeatedly chop-rush (but you can still use a focused chop-rush to your advantage).

Settler Religion -- (Lordroy did most of the work on merging this one): Settlers will now carry a religion from their homecity if appropriate, and new cities will be founded with that religion. Makes historical sense.

Formations are now groups of 5 instead of 3 for most units; some of the UU's for the new SuperCivs may not be groups of 5. I hope to fix this with the next update.

More Custom Changes:
-- Explorers and Scouts can build forts and explore temples. They're a little more useful now. Also, they can be upgraded to gunships down the line, so you don't have to put them on a boat and sink it anymore.
-- Added more ancient era music, some groovy tribal stuff.
-- Improved Leonardo's workshop to now add +1 specialist per continental city to make it more useful
-- Aztec UU: Str increased to 6, mov't to 2, jungle & FOREST def to +25%
-- French UU: Str increased to 11, added pinch
-- Privateers: No settlers anymore, cargo space to 1.
-- New Era Pictures
-- Tech trading was moved back to guilds to decrease early "tech whoring"/cabals
-- Permanent alliances now allowed earlier with constitution

I also cleaned up the python and put it all in a single mod file. Tidyness counts, people! Now if I could just clean up those text files...


----------------------------------
Installation
----------------------------------
Unpack/Unzip the archive using winzip or another appropriate decompression program and copy to your /civ4/Mods/ directory. To have the mod load automatically at game startup edit the "civilization.ini" file in your /documents/My Games/civ4/ directory, change the "Mods=0" to Mods="mods/sevomod". You may need to hold SHIFT down while you double-click to start the game, this will clear the cache.

Alternately, you can unpack all of the files into the appropriate locations in your /CustomAssets/ directory, but be advised if you have any other mods in there they may get overwritten and/or be incompatible! (Given the size of this mod, I can almost guarantee it won't be compatible!)


----------------------------------
Custom Installation Options
----------------------------------

(1) Commerce Icons: To disable the arrows as commerce icons and return to the vanilla "coins", find the folder "/sevomod/assets/art/interface/symbols" and just delete the whole thing!

(2) Modified Camera Angles: have been disabled by default because they were having a performance impact on many user's machines. To enable them, find the file Civ4DetailManager.xml in the main /sevomod/ directory, and copy this file into "/sevomod/assets/xml/misc/"

(3) I'm placing links that other Forum members are managing in the second post of this thread.



----------------------------------
Other Recs
----------------------------------

If you don't have them already, I'd get both Blue Marble Terrain and the Random Map Mod. They have to be installed differently and didn't lend themselves to integration with this mod.


----------------------------------
Planned Updates
----------------------------------
-Add a version incorporating FacesOfGod, once the latter is more stable
-Add a few more civ traits for the new civs.
-Re-evaluate random events and potentially re-add them
-New wonder ideas
-Tactial Nukes (May need the SDK to do this up right)
-Add Caravans Mod as merged by Lordroy
-Considering a method to have forts exert a culture boundary to protect resources and land.
-Add Native American Civs and OutOfAfrica Civs (not yet included for the sake of time)


----------------------------------
Version Info
----------------------------------


Version 2.23 -- Extensive additions to fill in existing framework of versions 2.0-2.2

-Added custom music for all 16 new leaderheads (total of 29 NEW diplomacy soundtracks, plus 11 others already included)
-Added new intro screen music, just for fun, and tweaked the title graphic. Good stuff.
-Added custom first contact text for all new leaderheads.
-Added civiopedia entries for: Barbarian Leader, Barbarian Tribe, carrack, ethiopian archer
-Added new promos from Perks & Promos: Defense 1-4, Shock 3, Cover 3, Sentry 3, Formation 2, 3.
-Worked on Flags...and worked, and worked. Fixed about dozen mistakes in the original implementation. Flags are now customized (and NOT WHITE!) for all 13 new civs. (Check out Carthage--love the alpha mask!)
-4 new ancient era soundtracks (brings total to 10)
-Changed UU's Stats for Ethiopian Archer, Babylonian Bowman, Macabee, Currah, Viking galley, Galic Warrior to make them more intersting, more useful, and more civ-appropriate.
-Changed Hyapist stats: str 5, city def 25%, cit att: 10%, does NOT require copper or iron (hope to balance this unit in the face of the much more powerful and useful axeman. Civs without Cop/Iron can still build this one.)
-Changed Magellan's Voyage: Global sea plot yield change dropped and coastal trade routes dropped, now grants +2 commerce per sea plot in this city and +2 trade routes in this city. Less powerful overall than before, but still a good wonder so still expensive.
-Modified Cultural decay to correct some odd behavior. Cities should no longer get stuck at one square borders. Also, min culture is now 10.
-Changed jails: now -25% war weariness AND +1 happiness. Bit more useful now.


Version 2.21 -- Patch to 2.2

-Deleted most of SuperCiv. Kept 14 civs, did extensive reworking of graphics, text, UU to improve quality.
-Removed camera angle changes & made an optional add-in
-Fixed gamefont_75.tga file problem. gamefont.tga remains beyond my capacity to understand,
but fortunately I got lucky and only using the one seems to have fixed the problems
with city icons not appearing.

thx for sharing!

Nope. They were there at the bottom of the first post. I'll copy 'em up top so it's hard to miss them.

now it's going to be hard to choose between this and the realism resurrected mod... :D but you're definitely doing a nice job on this one, Sevo. the introduction of GreenMod (partly) is nice and bold :)

great job!!

maybe ext version you can include the fx bigger and longer?
or add new map size options?

maybe a bug:

i cant use the "Diplomacy Mode" (Worldbuilder). the exit button dont work...

___
edit:

and txt_key_promotion_fort1, ..._fort2, ..._fort3 is missing
(ps: maybe one improvement to the fort-promotion-icons: i also use the garrison icons but upside down. (one icon for two different things isnt the best solution...))

MAN! That txt_key_promotion_fort1 thing has been plaguing me since the first version of this mod!! ARRGH!:crazyeye: But it's fixed. Again. (I'm uploading the new files now). The Diplomacy mode doesn't work--you're right. I'll add it to the bug list. You can, however, exit the screen by simply clicking the X on the popup. And I'll look into the icons--it was originally Zuul's mod.

Found a couple more little things that bug me but no more "bugs" per se. :twitch:

the txt_key_building_NAME_Strategy keys are also missing (CIV4GameText_Strategy.xml file) (lost wonder mod - for example great wall, ...)

should i upload the icons?

I'll give it a try, Sevo, as soon as I finish my current game using your last mod version. One thing: why did you remove the ability of the GreenMod for players to destroy buildings (for a price)?

I share your vision of not altering basics, I delay a bit some researchs on middle eras, so I could fight with horses and so.
I suggest include Random Events, it's nice and subtil, earthquakes, volcanos and specially olympics ... :king:

Why did you remove the ability of the GreenMod for players to destroy buildings (for a price)?

Honestly, I didn't see how the feature fits into a game strategy. I've never really wanted to destroy a building. Why do you guys use this?


the txt_key_building_NAME_Strategy keys are also missing (CIV4GameText_Strategy.xml file) (lost wonder mod - for example great wall, ...)

That's okay. I can flip 'em with photoshop. I'll hunt down the missing Strategy keys and include them.

i keep getting "Failed to load Phyton Module CvEventInterface"
any suggestions?

Great Mod... but I didn't see the Unit Promotions screen selection pop up.. it stayed blank ,, I had to put Auto-Promote on to continue the game..

Honestly, I didn't see how the feature fits into a game strategy. I've never really wanted to destroy a building. Why do you guys use this?

There are times when I'd like to build a national wonder in a city with plenty of shields, but I can't: the city has reached its quota. This would let me remove the wonder, at a considerable cost, and replace it.

Sevo, I appreciate your mod really A LOT
Have you tried Exavier's, and Mylon's mods ? These are as cool as yours, I'd really love to see all three of you, Great Modders to cooperate and create a best mod ever...
:goodjob:

hi jollyroger3 and sevo

well i support on what jollyroger3 suggesred!
"Sevo, I appreciate your mod really A LOT

why wont you guys work together?? all of ya guys can do the perfect job!!!??

I've just tried out version 2.0 of your mod and I must say it's the best balanced mod I've played :goodjob:

I played it with standard settings, warlord difficulty level, normal speed and the only doubt I've got is, that the tech seems for me just a bit too quickly achieved (I don't mean it's bad in any way, just speeds the game up a bit ;) )

Another thing is, that IMHO 40 turns for planting a forest is too long :rolleyes: What about reducing this time to 30 or 25 turns ?

Excellent mod to combine, would be wonderful if you could incoporate some more civs,fro either super civ or next level mod, and also perhaps some of the buildings from Mylon mods & New Traits

You owe me a night of sleep !

I installed your mod yesterday evening, and played until 4 am, which results in me being very tired at work today, and my wife being angry at me for getting to bed late...

However, there are some elements which don't work in my french version, like great people

Very nice compilation sevo. i have following problem:
every time i pres any key on keyboard message comes up:

python exception:

tracebak (most recent call last):

File "CvEventInterface", line 27, in onEvent
File "CvEventManager", line 164, in handleEvent
File "CvSevoEventManager", line 63, in onKbdEvent

NameError: global name 'theKey' is not defined

i have found that place in code but am unsure what to do with it, not into python, so help...please

btw i would like to add some of resources that are used in mylon mod but dont know how.
tnx

Thanks for the :goodjob: all...I'm playing the mod right now as Japan and that freakin' Alexander just keeps harrasing me. I hate that guy. Anyway...

...the only doubt I've got is, that the tech seems for me just a bit too quickly achieved (I don't mean it's bad in any way, just speeds the game up a bit ;) )

Another thing is, that IMHO 40 turns for planting a forest is too long :rolleyes: What about reducing this time to 30 or 25 turns ?

Yeah...I'm finding the more I play the more I want the tech to slow down a bit as well. I was waiting to see what effect the 1.52 patch had, but it really hasn't slowed things as much as I'd like. I'll probably slow it all down in the next release.

As to the forest, yeah...40 turns is a long time. I might have to come down on that a bit, but I really wanted to make it hard to strip your empire of trees and then just replant the whole thing. With the plant time that long you still tend to want to keep your existing forest if it's at all possible, and plan to maybe replant one or two key spots later with a team of 3 or 4 workers (which brings the job down to 10-13 turns).

File "CvEventInterface", line 27, in onEvent
File "CvEventManager", line 164, in handleEvent
File "CvSevoEventManager", line 63, in onKbdEvent

NameError: global name 'theKey' is not defined

Hm. Wowsers. I'm trying to think, and I don't ever use the keyboard during a game. What do you know about that. No wonder I didn't know this. Let me look into it; I must have lost one of the globals along the way.

Excellent mod to combine, would be wonderful if you could incoporate some more civs,fro either super civ or next level mod, and also perhaps some of the buildings from Mylon mods & New Traits

Yeah...the civs. Still waiting on that one. I'm waiting for solid new traits and civs that include the language audio files...etc. I want to keep the standards high, and while there are some very good compilations right now, I'm still not sure we've seen the best we're going to get. I know this is important to people, though, so it's on the list.

A bit off topic but how about this, instead of a pop-up, put all this info about the great people into the 'pedia, and when one is created, if it's possible, make the unit name a link to the 'pedia entry.

tnx sevo, i have tought that the problem is in global var. i just dont know where and how to declare it. if you want just tell me how to declare it.
i use almost more keyboard than mouse..shortcutes for almost anything, scroling...etc... but it is still a great mod...nice job

The problem with this, as was pointed out on that MOD's thread, is that the AI will not know about, and hence won't use, the ability to destroy buildings - that gives players a somewhat unfair advantage.

I'm still hoping you can incorporate a few more mods (cross my fingers)

Indeed. I already d/l'd the era pics. Problem is: I'm busy playing! I gotta finish up the current game (you know how it is once you start...)

But I'll be back at it. =)

I saw this. I was still thinking about it. It's true that the AI will probably not use this feature, as they will not properly use the demolition units. *Shrug* There's a lot of good stuff out there, so I'll probably hold on this for now.

sevo--keep making the mods--ures are the best!

anyways--what happened to random events? I liked the olympics and fertile/drought--earthquake got annoying sometimes, but was still decent (maybe having it happen with a small comment instead of interupting with a pop up would be better)

Id like to see green mod;s extra resources incorporated. I like having alot of variety

Maybe an idea for the great people mod would be to just have a larger text in the left side with a small bit pic of the person. Like the earthquake--popups get annoying after awhile. (i guess thats more of an idea for the person that makes taht mod though..lol)

Anyways..keep up the good work!

ok, solved the problem for those using the keyboard
just change
if (theKey == int(InputTypes.KB_I)) and (self.bShift):
to
if (int(Key) == int(InputTypes.KB_I)) and (self.bShift):

in the ...sevomod/assets/python/CvSevoEventManager.py

and a new error:

tracebak (most recent call last):

ArgumentError, Python argument types in

it pops up on beggining of each turn. kinda annoying. different function declarations i sopouse but cant seem to find them...have fun

once again...great mod sevo..;p

any change of adding the Superciv/65 civ mod?? to your super nice mod..

I've tried to play Warlord, standard map size, 18 civs (max allowed), no barbz, city convert after conquest, permanent alliance, normal game speed an I MUST say the game is greatly balanced, even the date i appropriate to the tech tree :goodjob:

I'm still playing this game, but next will be with Noble difficulty :D

Sevo - is there any chance you will add Polish civ to your mod ? There is a mod "Poland" or so, I'll find it for you if you would be interested and very kindly ask you to add it to next Sevo's mod ;)

I'd really LOVE to see two modifications from Exaviers mod in yours:

1. A Tactical ICBM - it has 1 square range and can be loaded on Nuclear Submarine, it costst 250 Shields (available at the same time regular ICBM is)

2. A Nuclear Submarine - a ship created to carry and hide ICBM's from other players - for me important as a historical unit, which took a great part in cold war...

Could you consider addinth these 2 units ?

I will look into the tactical nuke; didn't know anyone had created one yet. I wanted to add nuclear subs myself, so I'll put that on the (growing) list, too. :)

Zak--I'm giving you official recognition for debuggin' assistance in the next mod release! :D

And that error shows up in my log as well. In the 1.52 release Firaxis changed the cyPlot call and it broke cultural decay. The fix is easy.

I'll plan on integrating all these fixes and uploading the new patched mod tomorrow. I have a couple other goodies I'll throw in there as well. Also, I finally think I have a concept for what I want to do with the religions (as far as those of you requesting the religious units from Lost Units and so forth. It'll be fun...

are new civilizations even something that need merging with your pack? I would think they'd be completely seperate and work together seamlessly.

Hey Sevo if you want anything out my mod let me know and i will pull all the code out for you... I have yet to actually make my additions readable (exept being clumped at the bottom of the XML files)

My Tactical ICBM can still hit anywhere on the map as thats hard coded. but it only does damage to the targeted square, cheaper to build, and can be loaded onto my Nuclear Submarine :P

Was I the only one who really liked the GP mod? I loved the pop-ups coming up and showing me who was created, and a little background info on them. I always had trouble finding them, and the little text info at the start of the turn never grabbed my attention, so this little piece was lovely! If you are looking for a more practical way, is it possible to just have a little advisor pop-up window to come up and just say '(Name), a (Type) has been born in (City).' That would make it useful without the entire screen being taken up.

Hey SEvo, Great mod

A couple of things....F1 doesn't work to show the domestic advisor (nor the button on top). In the civlopedia, they are all shifted down a slot from wehre they should be. Also, kinda minor, but it doesn't show the combat odds anymore (94%), just the numbers (2.1 v 1.0).

Thanks!!

Nevermind, i was using an older version....D'oh!!!

Although i still don't get the odds....no biggie....Anyone know how to get em back??

A very nice mod. Just needs to be better civs out there for it. Not your fualt though.

The problem with this, as was pointed out on that MOD's thread, is that the AI will not know about, and hence won't use, the ability to destroy buildings - that gives players a somewhat unfair advantage.

I'd missed that, in the thread you mention. I withdraw my suggestion for its use. :)

hey sevo

great mod - maybe you can use fx bigger and longer mod for you next version - it would be great - more speed option and world size. :)

I think the idea of a tactical nuke is great. This should be the first nuke available, considering it took considerable time to develope a missile that could strike from anywhere to anywhere in the world. ICBMs should come later in the game and cost significantly more to build. Maybe as much as a wonder, considering the great amount of engineering that has to go into building such a device (comparable to the Apollo program). By the way, it would just be a tactical nuke, not tactical ICBM, as ICBM is an intercontinental ballistic missile.

Nevermind, i was using an older version....D'oh!!!

Although i still don't get the odds....no biggie....Anyone know how to get em back??

Hm. Were they added in 1.52? I think they were. The main screen in my mod my be an older version. Lemmie check it out.

I named it Tactical ICBM for a reason. It can still strike anywhere on the map :(
Fraxis got the bright idea of hardcoding about 80% of the Nuclear weapon controls so I can't limit the range, adjust the destructive power, or remove the restrictions (I hate not being able to detonate them in my territory... shoulding it be my choice whether i want to or not?) :mad:
So my units are changed as much as i possible could without access to the core files :p

Only things that can be changed are Cost, Blast Radius, SDI Interfearence, Bunker interfearence :(

Hm. Were they added in 1.52? I think they were. The main screen in my mod my be an older version. Lemmie check it out.

They included it in 1.52. They would show the odds of winning 96% for example, not just the power v. power. If you can get it back that would be great, but like i said no bigge.

Nice Mod Sevo. Very nice!

Do you consider to include a Realistic Religion mod such as Abbamouse?

That would be great!!! :goodjob:

Houman

plz dont include a Realistic Religion mod...
(or release two versions with and without realistic religions)

im waiting for the next release :)

Here you go Sevo...

You can get the Tree Nursery Mod I merged in HERE (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=138242).

Here is the code for the Nuclear Submarine and the Tactical ICBM (just copy them into the apropriate files)

<English>*****The use of atomic bombs at Nagasaki and Hiroshima at the end of World War II changed the world's standards for measuring military power. Nuclear weapons can eradicate ground forces and armored divisions, and flatten cities with their awesome explosive power. In the years following World War II, arsenals of nuclear weapons were rapidly built by opposing nations, each fearing the capabilities of the other. This massive arms buildup has acted as a deterrent to full-scale war, since all the governments involved are aware of the consequences should such a war take place. The threat imposed by the huge nuclear arsenals of the world powers may one day be eradicated by the development of the Strategic Defense Initiative, or SDI, a system designed to destroy enemy missiles in flight before they can reach their targets.</English>

EDIT: sorry i forgot you asked me in PM and posted them here lol... oh well :P

Here you go Sevo...

Thanks. No worries. Saves me rebuilding the wheel on the nuclear subs. Thanks!

With regards to all those interested / concerned about adding a religion mod to the game, I think I finally worked out what I'm going to do.

I like the way the religions are now--that is, intentionally undefined. I can make a militant Jewish Theocracy if I want. I can my "Hindus" eat cows. But I agree with the overall feeling that the Religion Civic options are inadequate for giving your religion a flavor.

So what I'm working on right now is a series of religious "flavors" that will let you indelibly brand your religion a specific way. A "Fanatics" option will unlock religion specific units like those I pulled out of Lost Units, another "Harmonious" religion might increase health and happiness, and another "Frugal" option might boost your commerce and trade. There will be drawbacks as well: the Fanatics are war-minded, so maybe they don't produce great people as quickly. That kind of thing. When you found (or aquire) a new religion you'll have the option to define it for your people and gain the benefits/drawbacks so long as you keep that religion as your state religion, but once you've chosen you can't go back--people tend to be reluctant to reinterpret what their religion means! If you want to change your religion from war-oriented to culture oriented, you'll have to find a new one and change! :o

This in my mind is ideal because you don't have to race for the tech for a religion that happens to have the unit/upgrade/feature you want. You can discover, or even aquire from another civ, a religion and then decide how your population is going to interpret and benefit from that religion.

This is going to take a lot of work because I want to do it right, but I think it will be a well-balanced addition that will make the game more fun. One of the things I enjoy is the "story" behind the civ I'm playing, and this will help flesh it out.

Anyway, it'll be fun.

hehe i just hope i got every entry right. as you can see i am lacking in discriptions for them. Those will be added in the next version of my mod as I have yet to write any descriptions for new units I make.

I hate doing descriptions :P

:eek: thats a great idea - absolutely the best way how religion should work in cIV :goodjob:
cant wait...

not only that but that is how Firaxis designed religion and the game to work. Remeber, they want US to recreate history. Nice ;)

I love this MOD, thanks for all the work put into combining all these!!

I just wanted to know why there was certain changes with some of the units, like mechanized infantry's new strength is 26, its old was 32. It seemed to me that it was better left at 32.

Also, what happened to Navy Seals, whats the point of giving the U.S. an older UU, were these changes an idea for better game balance?

-Ryan

New version is posted. 2.01. 3 minor bug fixes--mostly what you guys have hunted down for me above. The % combat odds not showing up was actually a result of an old XML file...it's hard coded in the C++ and the tag got lost since I was using an old version. This also fixed another error in the combat bonus list. Let's see...also fixed the cultural decay problem pointed out by Mr Zak; at least I think it's fixed...it's not erring anymore, but I haven't specifically checked to be sure culture is in fact decaying yet. So much to do...so few hours between my real job (that mainly exists to pay for my internet uplink) and bedtime!

Anyway, should be compatible with 2.0 beta and 2.0 beta-c; at least it is on my current saved games.

great mod - maybe you can use fx bigger and longer mod for you next version - it would be great - more speed option and world size. :)

I actually looked into it earlier tonight and I liked it a lot. Has he worked out the late game issues?


I just wanted to know why there was certain changes with some of the units, like mechanized infantry's new strength is 26, its old was 32. It seemed to me that it was better left at 32.

Also, what happened to Navy Seals, whats the point of giving the U.S. an older UU, were these changes an idea for better game balance?-Ryan

Well, the mech infantry is now lighter as there are more late game units floating around. I'm still "playtesting" (aka...playing) for myself to see how the new units are all working. If we hate it I'll change it back, but I think it was originally changed by the Lost Units designer as part of his overall schema. With regards to the Navy Seals--I kind of agreed with him that it was a lousy unique unit. What I really want to do is bring back the superior USA airpower...that really defines the military strength of this country over the last...well, since the mid WWII era. It would be a late unique unit, but if powerful could be decisive in late battles.

On the plus side I finally wiped out Alexander. Whoa Japan!:clap:

Really ignorant question..
If you install one of these 'mods' you can still select to play the game in its original form at startup. Is that right?
Some of them sound really fun, but I'm afraid I'll overwrite the original Civ4 and not be able to play it again without the mod.

What I really want to do is bring back the superior USA airpower...

Why not to make stealth bomber UU for America ? No one else have them in real life. The rest can get advanced prop bomber (until new models will be avalable with jet bombers). The SEAL can become normal unit, modern infantry or combat divers(modern marines)...Modern infantry can get city defence, city attack and forest bonus, while mech infantry bonus against modern infantry.

Great work Sevo..I'm testing your 2.01 with the 1.3 Realism Map Niust.

Please don't stop.

maybe it is because i ues an old savegame, but:

i cant see the Tuna, Book and Anticient Tempel resource ICONS in the city screen.

"YES!". There is a folder in your /CIV4/ directory, wherever you installed it, called "MODS". Mine is "e:\Civ4\mods\". If you unpack the mod file in that folder, you can load it from the in-game menu: Main Menu-->Advanced--> Load a mod. Then you can play with the original game, or load a mod and play with that.

Feel free to post the mod yourself! I'm going to add civs myself soon, but I'm waiting on two things: 1) I want to add some more traits first (going to do this the hard way because I have some very specific stuff I want to add, but I think it'll be well worth it), and 2) I want to integrate my new religion stuff first. But I know there are a bunch of people waiting for new civs in this mod...


i cant see the Tuna, Book and Anticient Tempel resource ICONS in the city screen.

There are no graphics for them, hence they don't show up. No graphics were included in the original mods to my knowledge. I've already created civilopedia graphics and entries for all of them, but I need to add some of the other little graphics. Thanks for the heads up, though.

Heh...I kinda like that idea, too. Lemmie look into it.

hmm, if i play the GreenMod 1.91 i see the ancient temple icon in the first column in the city screen.
and if i play the lost wonder mod i can see the icons of the tuna and the book...

if i merge lost wonder mond with my mod this icons work, so it should also work with your mod...

Unless I did something wrong, the 2.0 beta still defaults to showing my character name and nothing else on the Foreign Advisor/Technologies screen. Once that happens, you can't click to get out of it in the FA, but have quit the game, and reload.

I must say I love this MOD, looking forward to each new release! I enjoy the fact that you avoid mods that alter the gameplay too much. I hope you continue with that idea. Thanks for all the hard work!!

hey sevo

I don't know mod ettiquette for the game, but don't you think that instead of asking Sevo publically to help you upload that mod, you should first ask his permission for including Sevomod? Granted, it wasn't original code he did, but he still put in all the work.

glinka - i know - offcource i know he put a lot of work...
my intention is for sevo take a look of what i made and giving it to him to maybe for other to use by him and perhaps publice under this thread under his name.
its all from good intentions for sevos great mod.

sevo - i offered my comination to you perhaps you can use it and develop it more.

i never ment to publice this mod without you checking it out...

No worries all. :) A lot of people have requested more civs, I just don't want to do it until I have the religions and a few more traits buffed in. That doesn't mean everyone wants to wait for it!

Keldath: I would be happy to link to your mod from this thread. You can either email me the new zip file (although it'll be huge, I imagine) at sevotastic@yahoo.com, or you can upload it to a file sharing website (www.rapidshare.de, or www.filefront.com, or www.savefile.com) and then email me the download link. I'd be happy to put your civpack merged version on the frontpage so people can download it as well.

Hm. Another lost piece of a mod, I suspect. Lemmie check it out...

I'm still not getting images of the "lost wonders" when I've finished them. As I've never played the standalone mod, is this just part of it? I can envision a case where an image screen automatically pops up when you finish a wonder, regardless of whether there's an image planned for it, or not.

Anyone else getting a broken link when trying to download?

hi sevo

great im ul now to rapid share - it will take a while = when i finnish ill
inform you :)

theres a few bugs ive seen:
1) some of the new civs have a white flag - i didnt get to that yet
2) when you learn a tech - it doesnt makes a popup of the civelopedia - it only sais you learnt the tech.
3) i think its no good to multi player - i treid after 1oo and so turns ina new game and the game crached with no reason.
for me thats the major setback.

hey sevo
here is the file :)
http://rapidshare.de/files/10609779/sevo_test.rar.html

I have a few questions regarding this MOD:

1. Do I need to install any other files than those included in the download - if so which are they (I have a notion) - and more imporantly - can you post links to them in the first post?

2. What is the gameplay like? Is it slow?

1) No other files--except the game. ;)

2) I've not found gameplay any slower or faster. Chopping forests gives you a bit less shields, but chopping jungles gives you a few shields, too, which you normally don't get. Other than that, research speeds, production speeds, movement, etc, are pretty much the same.

hey sevo

Great! I put a link up on the main page so other people will find it. Thanks for the interest. I think the NextLevel civs are probably one of the best civ Paks out there presently.

:jesus: On the religion front, I've finally worked out my new schema for the religious expansions and I've started the coding/xml. It's coming along nicely but I'm having to balance what I want to do with what the game allows. Still, I think this is going to be great and I'm anxious to see what you all think. Stay tuned...

hi - your welcome,
though - i found that this mod - is not mp copatible - the game crashed to me after 160 turns for no reason - maybe you can modify it for this purpse.
i cant remmber if i also merged the pyton files of the bigger and longer by fx -
i think maybe because of that the game crashed - have no other exp.
i recenly updated the exavier composite mod with the same changes i noticed that he made a few alteration in the pyton files regarding multi player game.
i added only the mammoth map size.
gamespeeds ramained the same.
and somthing should be done about the civilization flags - most of them are white of black...
enjoy all :)

For some reason we are unable to run the newer versions of Civ4, with the original 1.0 running fine. Can we utilize this mod package with the original 1.0 version of Civ4?
Thanks in advance!

No...this mod package probably isn't 1.0 compatible. Firaxis changed the way some of the functions pass variables and I doubt they would still work with 1.0. Also the Sevopedia, which is part of this, would almost certainly tank under 1.0 since they also changed the enums.

Question...
I have to use Patch 1.09 as the new 1.52 Patch causes graphics problem for me..:(
I love your mod so I'm back to using version 1.0.. only thing,, I want to remove is the "Random Events".. how can this be done without hurting the structure of the entire Mod..??
thanks

Download the file below and copy it into the mod directory shown below. It should overwrite the file of the same name in the mod. I'm pretty sure this will work, but I haven't tested it. THIS IS FOR VERSION 1.0 of the sevomod!

It should go in /sevomod/assets/python/CvSevoEventManger.py

I can build the Marines but it wont let me build the U.S. Navy Seals. I'm wondering if this is a bug or if you didn't include the unit with the mod.
Great mod by the way i'll keep an eye out for the next version!!

Thanks Sevo.... I'll try it asap....:)

you have to install the lost wonder mod or change a few lines in a certain file if you want to see the wonder movies. (or install the monument extension for the sevo mod 2.01)

I haven't forgotten about this mod! I'm just frantically working on the religion mod and it's become quite the behemoth. Anyway, it's nearing a testing phase (i.e., post so you all can play and tell me what to fix!), and then I'll be back to work on this mod to fix the bugs and add some civs, etc. :)

I can't get this mod to work x.x I have it extracted under the folder "Mods" but it still doesn't work

This mod changes the American UU. It is now US cavalry. I think its a good change as US Navy seals came so late and seemed very limited in their use.

First I love this mod it rocks but have some comments:

1) It seems many times when i get compass for the caraval I am no longer able to produce galleys... Why is this?

2) The computer AI seems very bad at dealing with the cultural decay after taking over a city. I understand how it works so will rush a theater or cut down trees to help build some sort of cultural building to get the squares to expand. Ive seen the AI sit on a city with zero workable squares for eons though.

3) I like the fact that you re-examined some of the UU, like the American one. May I suggest taking a look at the Aztecs Jaguar Warrior and the French Muskateer. In the Aztecs case their UU is the only one that is weaker than the original, even though it doesnt require Iron this makes it very undesireable. Perhaps if it had 2 movement or something it would be understandable. The French Muskateer on the other hand is only one step from grenadiers who are 33% more powerful. The extra movement is not too useful at this point. Thier UU gets outdated faster than any.

Just thought Id mention that. Otherwise sweet mod.

Lastly, perhaps jails can be modded. I find it odd they are only useful when in war.

in regards to the forests, would there be a way to simulate aging forests in the game, like have a few different age groups and have the forests progress in order(new, young, standard, old, over grown) and have the age determine the production bonus given when cleared, this way you dont have a long worker time as well as balanceing the chop rewards based on the time the forest has existed

First, great mod but with the NextLevel civ pack included, the game will out of nowhere just crash completely. However, without the civ pack, the game runs flawlessly with your mod. ::shrug:: Not sure what is going on there, but hopefully a future patch will fix this random crashing because those civs look interesting to play.

Either that, or I will just wait for you to add the civs. ;)

1) It seems many times when i get compass for the caraval I am no longer able to produce galleys... Why is this?
This is now a known bug...the upgrade path messed things up. I have to fix it in the next release.

I haven't noticed the AI/cultural decay problem. I could fix that pretty easily with a limit to how far down a city decays. Cultural decay should only occur on tiles NOT occupied by ANY city, based on the coding. If a computer takes/builds a city in your land your own culture may be overwhelming the new/captured city and it's never going to grow anyway. I'll look into it.

There would be. I've been thinking a lot about this and will probably incorporate some sort of change in a future version.

Yeah...sorry I can't speak for the CivPak personally...I haven't had time to go through the code myself! There's a ton of stuff to do now, but I'm so close to finishing my religion mod it hurts. My goal is this weekend, depending on how my python skills play out over the next four days!

Religion mod Teaser: Crusades, Idolators, Terrorists...

It is indeed a very good Mod. I am playing Americans on Emperor and for the first time I have the best score! I am playing archipelago standard map and I'm occupying the biggest island together with Aztecs. We've already had one war, but it was mainly succesfully defensible war on my part. I just entered 18th century and my army of US cavalry is ready to flood Aztec territory.
I have only one remark, Sevo: did you do something to the map auto-creator? I have seen several times really badly distributed sea resources: one city has access even to 7 sea resources! The city gets too much. Is this right? (Fortunately, it isn't my city, because the AIs would have no chances and the game would be too easy, but soon it will be mine :spear: )

Hi - I've tried several mods and I really like the ones that add LENGTH to a game... I like to stay in each age longer, fight wars with those units, etc etc.

Does this mod offer that? or does it use standard game time rates?

Thanks!

It doesn't affect standard game time, if that's what you mean. You can still choose to change the game speed, through the options menu.

Hey, someone asked this on the first page, but I couldn't find a response. I keep getting the error message "Failed to load Phyton Module CvEventInterface". How can I fix this?

Sevo,

I wanted to ask if you intended on adding some of the MODS from Alerum's Unaltered Gameplay:

The best thing to do for this is to make sure that you have mods\sevomod pointed out in your civilization.ini. And while Civ 4 is initializing, hold down SHIFT to clear out the cache, hold it down the whole time. Time your game loads, the file you're talking about won't be giving you problems anymore and you should see sevomod on the main screen.

Been staying away from the forums while I try to finish the religion mod (i get distracted reading other people's stuff...). I've spent...literally...the last three days working on making the code recognize when a specific unit has died. PAINFUL! For some reason the CyUnit was randomly re-assigning to other units. But I finally have it working with a little trickery, and that means I have only two things left to do and they shouldn't take long. I hope by Tuesday or Wednesday to post it in beta form and let you guys at it! Again, after that post I'll be making updates to this mod to include some of the fixes & requests above.

Hi

I'm having great fun with your mod on my crash-prone machine. One thing though - and I'm sorry if it's been mentioned before: Those biplanes seem to come awfully early, even before combustion. Is that intended?

rgds/EoE

:goodjob:Hey Sevo, I added to the mod the training barracks addon. I find that this makes it easier to get the promotions. I've modified the file to give two experience points evey turn. I think that in your next release this would be a great addition.

Keldath has added the NextLevel Civ Pak to the mod for those of you looking to jump start with more civs. I will eventually add more civs to the main mod, but religions and a few new traits are coming first. So if you're itching to play with a few more civs, give his patched version a try! It's a little rough and there are a few bugs he knows of, but it does offer all the nextLevel civs and gameplay is unaffected.

I'd rather see LAnkou's SuperCiv integrated instead.

Two reasons:

- valid reason: it contains more civs, including most from the NextLevelMod (and many that are not found in NextLevel)

- selfish reason: my mods are in SuperCiv :)

No way. That is way, way too fast.

Hi Sevo

As with everyone, I love the mod but I was wondering if a couple of things could be altered:

When you access the city summary bit (the house icon at the top right) I cant see all the numbers as the columns are too narrow (such as great person points)

Can you make the privateer ship attack anyone in peace time? I loved it in the last Civ and was so looking forward to it in this mod.

Keep the good work going!

This mod is near perfect compared to the rest :)

my only 2 suggestions:

- Add a gamespeed beyond Marathon... some of us really like to sink our teeth into games...

- change the 'commerce' icon back to a gold coin. i2 reasons: the arrows are sometimes hard to count, and in some screen the gold coins are still there.


Great mod!

I have to agree, Marathonis too short.

I have been playing with FEX's long version and if you could combine these two it would rock.

Keep up the GREAT work.

No way. That is way, way too fast.
Thats true, but I like fast games like C&C. Plus, the AI ismore challenging since they use the experiance too. I like it when the AI is so hard you curse it.:evil: I would like to see sevo add like a sniper unit that could replace the explorer in the modern era.

prehaps a unit with high movement and strength but a pittiful defense bonus(negative maybe?) to make it deal a lot of damage on attack but almost certainly get killed when defending

Yes something like that! Just make sure not to be overpowerd enough to take out a tank:goodjob:

First a bug. In multiplayer when a player takes over another city everyone will then get the message saying that they recieved tech (from conquering the city.) Note that only the appopriate player will receive it though,, but its odd that everyone gets to see that message.

Also this mod improves upon everything in the game except for 1 thing: Tech cabals and tech whoring early on (which can sort of ruin the game). In a multiplyer game if your unlucky enough to be singled out and not even attacked, but just excluded from the tech trading ou are basically screwed for the rest of the game while the players that form the tech cabal trade exclusively within themselves.

Tech trading should not be removed but i think a few other mods had the right idea with making it later in the game so more can happen before the tech whoring begins... Waiting for guilds as a few mods have done would seem to do the trick. Or even education.... I think it is more historically accurate too. Tech trading isnt simply a matter of the government receiving plans for some tech. Society need an educational system to let the common person know how to use this new tech. A structure of experts and specialists need to be available to install and implement the new procedures for private and public entities that this new technology requires. This is especially true of techs like math or engineering. I dont believe this level of sophistication and organization was around in 2000 bc when most players in civ4 are getting alphabet.

I also feel that Tech Trading should be later in the game. There really should be some way to keep that under control for awhile.

-=R=-

Quick question: what do the added gamespeeds of tech150 and tech200 do exactly?

:mad: I think I've found a bug!!! Here's what happened. I massed a huge force of IFV's (8 of them) with an bazooka in each of them. I attacked a city once with no problem and the unit I attacked was damaged. I attacked again then the game freezed. It wouldnt let me do nothing and I had to do a Hard reboot.
I'm wondering if this has happened to any one else or am i the unlucky one?
Look forward to getting an Answer.

Not sure what happened to you there! I haven't heard of any other crashes quite like that. Please let me know if there are any more and if a pattern emerges I'll look into it.


Tech trading should not be removed but i think a few other mods had the right idea with making it later in the game so more can happen before the tech whoring begins...

I'm in agreement. I've noticed this myself in single player games. I'm busting my ass and I know I've got a huge tech lead because my civ is thriving and no one else could have possibly outpaced me, but I'm relatively isolated and beating down the only other civ on my continent, so he's not helping me with the tech race. Then I get the notice that someone on the other continent (with the other six or seven civs) has just founded ISLAM and caravels start showing up on my coast, all because three civs over there were swapping techs like mad while I was individually researching all of them. I think moving tech trading back to guilds is probably reasonable.

On another aside, my religion mod is (really) pretty much done. I'm just working out the specifics of saving/loading data between games. In the process of working on that mod I've learned *quite* a bit more about the API and the CIV4 modding process. As soon as that's done I'll be turning my attention back to this mod and fixing up all the bugs and previous mod patches and such pointed out by you guys above, and then adding and fine-tuning things. I've found a lot more in the game that I think could be fun.

Keep the bug reports and suggestions coming!

my two cents about tech trading would be to adopt Dearmad's idea of allowing tech trading with Guilds... makes sense and makes the game better IMHO

hey Sevo As always Great Mod!! :)

Clock MOD - by homegrown

PLEEEEASE add these two very small mods :))

I added the Clock MOD to the CvMainInterface.py and it works well.

(unpack and put the file in your ...\My Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\MODS\Sevomod\Assets\python\screens folder -- replace the old one)

I love this start but I can play past the current save.

Every time I do I get the windows crash box.
I have restarted my computer, I hit <shift> when I double clickto start.
I changed the .ini so that sevo loads up on start. I'm playing the newest patch also.
I have 2 Gig ram, P4 2.6 machine with 15 gig space left on harddrive.

Man I hate to give this up.

Can someon DL this and try to play?

TIA

You can change this part on your first post by the way. I played in a five player multiplayer game with some friends of mine. Except for the bug where everyone receives the "gained tech message" after conquering a city everything runs nice and smooth. Good work.

Thanks for the work, I appreciate it. How long did it take to add? I was hoping to see some of these: Show Attitude MOD, Score Graph, Extended Color Table, and Enhanced Military Advisor eventually. I think Sevo is considering it. They are good and don't alter the gameplay at all.
